Meeting Convened at 5:00 p.m.

Decision Items

Fiscal Year 2019‐20 Budget

Mr. Glenn Natali presented the proposed fiscal year 2019‐20 budget. The current fiscal year’s projected revenue is forecasted to be $1M below budget, due mostly to a 10% shortfall in budgeted enrollment and a delay in receiving the county appropriation. Revenue in fiscal year 2019‐20 is forecasted to increase $700K based upon a 3% tuition increase and an increase of $100K in county appropriation.

This year’s contribution to the reserve will be reduced from $400K to $190K. The fiscal year 2019‐20 budget includes a $400K contribution to the reserve.

The Executive Committee recommends approval on Tuesday, May 21.

2019‐20 Airport Premises Legal Liability Insurance

Mr. Natali presented a proposed revision to liability insurance coverage for the Aviation Sciences Center. CCBC has traditionally carried a $10M insurance premium through Ace Property and Casualty Insurance Company; however, the land lease only requires a $5M insurance premium. The proposed change would result in a $10,000 savings in annual operating costs. The Executive Committee recommends approval on the Consent Agenda on Tuesday, May 21.

Invoice: MS Consultants, Inc.

Mr. Scott Monit presented for approval an invoice from MS Consultants, Inc. in the amount of $20,308.87 for services related to the Process Technology Center Renovation. The services are within Page 4

the project scope and budget. The Executive Committee recommends approval on the Consent Agenda on Tuesday, May 21.

Selection of Plumbing Contractor for Process Technology Center Renovation Phase II

On April 16, the Board of Trustees approved the proposed contractors for Phase II of the Process Technology Center Renovation. At the time of the meeting, Eckles Construction Services, Inc. recommended Reno Brothers, Inc. at a bid of $303,559 to perform contracted plumbing services. A calculation error related to the bids was recently discovered. The lowest bid was submitted by Newman Plumbing, Inc. at $303,500. Both contractors were immediately notified and have agreed to accept the revision. The Executive Committee will request ratification to approve the change in contractors on Tuesday, May 21.

2019‐20 Gas Contract

The current contract for the natural gas supply at the main campus expires on May 31, 2019. Broker Kinect Energy has monitored rates for the past several months and recommends that now is the best time to lock in a new rate. Projected rates could save a combined $2K per year between the Aviation Sciences Center and the main campus. Mr. Monit requested approval from the Executive Committee to allow the administration to lock in a new one‐ to three‐year contracted rate depending on which option provides the best deal prior to the May Board Meeting. Once the quotes are received, and prior to committing to a contract, Mr. Monit will consult Trustee Palombo. The Executive Committee requests ratification on the Consent Agenda on Tuesday, May 21.

2018‐19 Accounts Receivable Analysis

Ms. Andrea Mumma reviewed the 2018‐19 Accounts Receivable Analysis. Based on the current balance in the accounts receivable reserve and the total receivables currently at the collection agency, a recommendation was made to increase the allowance by $36,294. The Executive Committee recommends approval under the Consent Agenda on Tuesday, May 21.

Vendor Selection: TEAM Consortium Website

Dean John Goberish presented for approval a bid from Five Star as the vendor to provide design and development services for the TEAM Consortium website. Six qualified proposals were received. The project will be funded through a POWER grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission. The Executive Committee recommends approval on the Consent Agenda on Tuesday, May 21.

Updates and Reports

2019‐20 Property and Casualty Insurance Renewal

Mr. Natali has been working with Liberty Mutual to develop a renewal package for the 2019‐20 property and casualty insurance renewal. A proposal will be presented at the Board Meeting on Tuesday, June 18.

Campus Banking Services

An RFP has been issued for proposals to provide on‐campus banking beginning January 1, 2020. Proposals were received from First National Bank and New Alliance Credit Union. Interviews will take Page 5

place over the next month and information will be shared with the Board at the meeting on Tuesday, June 18.

2 Page 8 Page 9 COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF BEAVER COUNTY 2019-20 BUDGET NARRATIVE

Revenue

The college assumed conservative revenue projections in preparing the 2019-20 budget. Fiscal Year 2018-19 revenue is projected to be $1,000,518 below approved budget. Fiscal year 2019-20 revenue is budgeted to increase by $709K over the 2018-19 reforecast. The 2019-20 revenue budget assumes the following.

• Commonwealth operating appropriations are budgeted with no increases over 2018-19 levels. Commonwealth capital appropriations increased in 2019-20 to reflect Commonwealth payments on the Process Technology Renovation project funded in 2018-19. There is a new $15M appropriation under discussion at the Commonwealth level. If funded, this proposal would distribute additional operating funding to all 14 Community Colleges based on FTE. If this CCBC estimates it would receive an approximately $140K in additional 2019-20 funding. This was not included in the college’s 19-20 revenue projections. • The final appropriation levels for 2018-19 County appropriations do not include the reinstatement of the $300K cut implemented in County fiscal year 2017. As a result, projected revenue in 2018-19 is $388K less than budget. The county appropriation in 2019-20 is budgeted to increase by $111,474 over 2018-19 levels. This increase includes $50,000 in funding for capital improvements for the Air Traffic Control Tower, $50,000 in funding to support the annual lease payment at the Aviation Science Center, and costs associated with interest payments related to postponing the July 2019 appropriation payment of $1,046,231. • Tuition and fee revenue from enrollments is projected to be 10% under budget in 2018-19 or $780K below budget. As a result, CCBC’s 2019-20 budget includes a 3% reduction in enrollments, a reduction of roughly 2,000 credits, to reflect this enrollment trend (-5% Sponsored, -2% Out of County, -3% Out of State.) The revenue budget also includes a 3% tuition increase and a $5.00 increase on general fees, and a $10 increase on College in High School fee all of which were approved by the board at the April 2019 meeting (see details in appendix A). The combination of reduced enrollments and approved tuition and fee increases is budgeted to generate an additional $499K in revenue over the 2018-19 reforecast1. Flight fee revenue is set at $1.291M based on current enrollments. Continuing education tuition revenue is budgeted at $417K based on realistic and attainable targets set by program staff. • Financial aid disbursements from Commonwealth and federal sources including Pell, SEOG, PHEAA, and the Veteran’s Administration are budgeted level with expected 2018-19 usage. • Operating Grant revenue is budgeted at $1.5M 2018-19 fiscal year. This revenue line will be offset by costs at the same level as the work PTEC Phase II increases in Summer 2019, work on the TEAM consortium continues, the Flexible Entry Flexible Exit NSF grant continues, and newly funded grants start up. • Other revenue includes Dome and Facility rentals, revenue from indirect costs on grants, interest income, and profit-share from Barnes & Noble and AVI. The 2019-20 revenue projection is reduced by $137K over 2018-19 projections to account for the impact Cengage will have on

1 The 2019-20 budget was developed assuming flat Summer enrollments. The reforecast includes a 10% reduction in Summer 1. The revenue impact after tuition and fee increases is $397K over flat Summer I and $499K over a projected 10% credit reduction.

the Barnes and Noble textbook sales and CCBC’s commission. While the college is foregoing revenue from textbook sales, it hopes to make up for this hit through increased enrollments by students who will have more PELL funding as a result of receiving nearly all of their textbooks for one annual fee.

2019-20 Budgeted Expenses

After considering the recent enrollment trends, the college took great care to reduce expenses in 2018- 19 in order to balance the budget and developed a cost conscious expense budget for 2019-20. Total budgeted operating expenses increased by $530K over the 2018-19 reforecast. Details on significant cost drivers in the 2019-20 budget are outlined below.

• Salary and benefit costs are included to replace two of the three retiring faculty members and to fill two vacant faculty positions in SONAH, a support position in the President’s office, and a staff union Student Advisor position. Salary and benefit costs are included for two new full-time positions: a full-time faculty lab position (funded from repurposing existing funds in the budget) and the Assistant Director of Admissions and Enrollment. • Contractual salary increases for all collectively bargained employees and an average 3% increase for all administrators and confidential employees. Budgeted amount for salary increases is $245K. • Continued funding of the College Reserve to meet Middle States goals. Budgeted reserve funding is $400K. • Operating costs to support $300K in Honors scholarships. • Medical and benefits costs are increased by 2% based on direction from the Allegheny County Schools Health Insurance Consortium. • Operating grant and financial aid expenses equal to operating grant revenue and financial aid revenue projections. (see notes in revenue section above). • Expenses totaling $133K related to three full-time faculty retirements. • Funding to support five RAISE Innovation proposals. • New long-term debt payments totaling $231K in principle and interest for the PTEC Phase II Construction project. This additional expense is 100% by the increase in state capital payments (see $237K capital increase in state appropriation).

Balancing the Budget

After taking into account revenue projections and the baseline operating and non-operating expenses described above, the college faced a $1.1M budget shortfall. As a result, the college needed to generate additional revenue coupled with more cost reductions in order to submit a balanced budget. The college along with the Board of Trustees Operations and Risk Management committee agreed to implement the following adjustments into the proposed budget CCBC is submitting to the Board today.

• 3% Tuition Increase, fees increase, and additional cost cutting by cost centers $ -601,051 • Reduce athletics operating and athletics scholarships $ -20,000 • Reduce class offerings by 25 sections $ -68,250 • Reduce all cost center operating budgets by 1% $ -159,000 • Reduce Honors Scholarships $ -20,000

Prepared by: Glenn Natali Page 2 of 8 Vice President of Finance, Operations, and Information Technology Page 11 COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF BEAVER COUNTY 2019-20 BUDGET NARRATIVE

• Reduce Board of Trustees budget $ -12,000 • Voluntary Separations and Layoffs $ -219,699

As of the time of this writing, CCBC does not yet know the number of employees who will select this severance package. The college hopes that more employees will take advantage of this program, but If there not enough voluntary separations accepted the college will conduct layoffs to generate the minimum amount savings needed to balance the budget. The proposed budget includes a placeholder for labor reductions with the minimum amount of cost savings needed to balance the budget--$219,699. The college will complete the plan and submit the staff reduction details to the board in June 2019.

Personal Assessment of the College Environment (PACE) Results

Ms. Sara Leigh presented results from the Personal Assessment of the College Environment (PACE) survey instrument that measures four climate factors impacting student success: institutional structure, student focus, supervisory relationships, and teamwork. The online survey was administered on Professional Development Day in October 2018 and was made available to all employees. An 88% response rate was achieved. CCBC elected to use three comparison groups: Institutions in the Northeast Region of the United States, small 2‐year institutions, and a mix of transfer and degree‐awarding institutions. In nearly all areas of the survey, CCBC scored higher than the comparison groups. The college will determine how frequently PACE will be administered. The College is currently participating in another survey, Great Colleges to Work For; results will be available this summer.

Decisions

The Board, Employee and Community Development Committee will propose the following slate of officers for 2019‐20 at the Board Meeting on Tuesday, May 21.

Chair: Pamela Johnson Vice Chair: Zachary Saunders Secretary: John Kochanowski Treasurer: Stephen Robinson

Action will be taken at the Board Meeting on Tuesday, June 18.

Updates and Reports

Fiscal Year 2019‐20 Budget

Mr. Glenn Natali presented the proposed fiscal year 2019‐20 budget. The current fiscal year’s projected revenue is forecasted to be $1M below budget, due mostly to a 10% shortfall in budgeted enrollment and a delay in receiving the county appropriation. Revenue in fiscal year 2019‐20 is forecasted to increase $700K based upon a 3% tuition increase and an increase of $100K in county appropriation.

This year’s contribution to the reserve will be reduced from $400K to $190K. The fiscal year 2019‐20 budget includes a $400K contribution to the reserve.

Succession Planning

The College administration has begun a succession planning exercise to identify employees who can assume roles when a key or essential position becomes vacant. Ms. Sally Mercer shared draft documents. Work will continue on this project throughout the summer. Updated information will be shared during the October Board, Employee and Community Development Committee Meeting.

Performance Management

Ms. Mercer shared several documents pertaining to the performance management process. Evaluation forms have been revised for the upcoming goal‐setting and evaluation period, which will begin in June.

Update: Public Relations and Marketing

Ms. Leslie Tennant shared an update from Public Relations and Marketing.

 CCBC’s new website is in testing and is anticipated to be live in July. The site will connect with Jenzabar which will provide real‐time updates to academic areas of the sites and will create a much more user‐friendly updating process. Additionally, the search function has been improved and is operating. The Marketing Department continues to review pages and prepare edits while working with site developers.

 The Student Journey Research Project is complete. Meetings will soon be scheduled to share results with Marketing, Admissions and the president. A full report will be shared with the campus community, and will be made available to the Board, Employee and Community Development Committee.

 Marketing for Summer Enrollment continues. Methods for placement have included: Pandora, Facebook, YouTube, Pittsburgh Magazine, Cinemark Movie Theaters, the CCBC website, email and text campaigns. Postcards were sent, and campaigns via postcards and radio were launched to promote six‐ and eight‐week terms.

Update: Advancement and Sponsored Programs

Mr. Kolton Codner shared an update from Advancement and Sponsored Programs.

 New notable funding contributions were received this spring, including contributions from companies and individuals. Page 19

 Celebration Week highlighted several high‐impact events, including a well‐attended groundbreaking ceremony for Phase II of the Process Technology Center Renovation and a reception for alumni from CCBC’s first graduating class.

 The CCBC Foundation will host a retreat on Saturday, May 18 in the Library beginning at 8:30 a.m. Trustees are invited to attend.

 The Presidential Inauguration will take place on Friday, September 27. In addition to the inauguration ceremony, a fundraiser gala will be held that evening at the Club at Shadow Lakes. More information will be available by summer. A committee has convened to begin the planning process.

PACE Literature Review

The term culture refers to a total communication and behavioral pattern within an organization. Yukl (2002) defines organizational culture as “the shared values and beliefs of members about the activities of the organization and interpersonal relationships” (p. 108). Schein (2004) observes that culture “points us to phenomena that are below the surface, that are powerful in their impact but invisible and to a considerable degree unconscious. In that sense culture is to a group what personality is to an individual” (p. 8). Culture as a concept, then, is deeply embedded in an organization and relatively difficult to change; yet it has real day-to-day consequences in the life of the organization. According to Baker and Associates (1992), culture is manifest through symbols, rituals, and behavioral norms, and new members of an organization need to be socialized in the culture in order for the whole to function effectively.

Climate refers to the prevailing condition that affects satisfaction (e.g., morale and feelings) and productivity (e.g., task completion or goal attainment) at a particular point in time. Essentially then, climate is a subset of an organization’s culture, emerging from the assumptions made about the underlying value system and finding expression through members’ attitudes and actions (Baker & Associates, 1992).

The mission of PACE is to promote open and constructive communication along four climate factors. Each climate factor has a unique focus, the combination of which create an integrative tool useful in understanding the campus climate at your institution. Institutional Structure focuses on the mission, leadership, spirit of cooperation, structural organization, decision-making, and communication within the institution. Supervisory Relationships provide insight into the relationship between employees and their supervisors, as well as employees’ abilities to be creative and express ideas related to their work. The Teamwork climate factor explores the spirit of cooperation that exists within teams, while the Student Focus climate factor considers the centrality of students to the actions of the institution as well as the extent to which students are prepared for post-institution endeavors. Taken together the climate factors provide a valid source to define areas needing change or improvement and sets the stage for strategic planning.

The way that various individuals behave in an organization influences the climate that exists within that organization. If individuals perceive accepted patterns of behavior as motivating and rewarding their performance, they tend to see a positive environment. Conversely, if they experience patterns of behavior that are self-serving, autocratic, or punishing, then they see a negative climate. The importance of these elements as determiners of quality and productivity and the degree of satisfaction that employees receive from the performance of their jobs have been well documented in the research literature for more than 40 years (Baker & Associates, 1992).

NILIE’s present research examines the value of delegating and empowering others within the organization through an effective management and leadership process. Yukl (2002) defined leadership as “the process of influencing others to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how it can be done effectively, and the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish the shared objectives” (p. 7). The concept of leadership has been studied for many years in a variety of

Community College of Beaver County PACE 2018 • 1 Page 23 work settings, and there is no one theory of management and leadership that is universally accepted (Baker & Associates, 1992). However, organizational research conducted to date shows a strong relationship between leadership processes and other aspects of the organizational culture. Intensive efforts to conceptualize and measure organizational climate began in the 1960s with Rensis Likert’s work at the University of Michigan (Rouche and Baker, 1987). NILIE has used Likert’s work to create the PACE survey. To date, more than 120 institutions have participated in climate studies conducted by NILIE at North Carolina State University.

Figure 1. The PACE Model

Establishing instrument validity is a fundamental component of ensuring the research effort is assessing the intended phenomenon. To that end, NILIE has worked hard to demonstrate the validity of the PACE instrument through both content and construct validity. Content validity has been established through a rigorous review of the instrument’s questions by scholars and professionals in higher education to ensure that the instrument’s items capture the essential aspects of institutional effectiveness. Building on this foundation of content validity, the PACE instrument has been thoroughly tested to ensure construct (climate factors) validity through two separate factor analysis studies (Tiu, 2001; Caison, 2005).

Community College of Beaver County Report to the Board of Trustees May 2019 Executive Director for Public Relations and Marketing Ms. Leslie Tennant

Website Project Update The new ccbc.edu site is on track to go live in July. The project milestones have been completed or in progress are: content management system in the testing phase, new forms generated to more fluidly generate leads, donations, alumni contacts, and event RSVP’s, Jenzabar connection put in place, and search function activated. Finally, the marketing team is viewing pages, editing content, and working with the developer to identify any current issues or improvements.

Student Journey Update The student journey market research projected conducted in partnership with Harlan Group is completed. A final review and feedback meeting is scheduled with the marketing staff, President, and Director of Enrollment Services. Following that discussion, the full report will be accessible to the Board and the campus community. Recommendations and roll‐out will be led by the Strategic Enrollment Management Committee.

Summer Campaign Our Summer Courses @ CCBC campaign is currently using the following media platforms to target both current CCBC students and visiting students from nearby colleges and universities. These include the following:

• Pandora • Geo‐fenced Facebook Campaign (targeting colleges where the most visiting students attend) • YouTube Pre‐Roll • Pittsburgh Magazine • Movie Theater Ads (Monaca and Cranberry) • CCBC Website • Email and text campaigns • Direct Mail (postcards) • Internal Communications – retention

The campaign has generated the following results to‐date:

 Added Date of Birth to inquiry form to help better track students in the admissions pipeline  Total soft inquires ‐ 1,110  Total hard inquires ‐ 80  Conversion ‐ 120 credits

To promote the 8 and 6‐week terms and generate enrollment in a variety of both online and on‐campus general education courses, creative was refreshed on all banner ads, emails and postcards were sent to students who attended CCBC during the Spring 2019 semester, but who had not registered for a summer class yet (excluding grads and CIHS). Text messages were sent to 133 students who attended Page 46

summer sessions as visiting students in 2016, 2017, and 2018 but had not yet registered. A “win a free class” incentive was added, and new radio and Facebook campaigns launched to advertise these terms. Page 47

Benefits/Wellness

The Annual Benefits and Wellness Fair for employees was held on April 3, 2019. This fair provided employees with access to vendors present to ensure employee wellness in all its forms (i.e. physical health, financial health, mental health).

The health benefits open enrollment period is underway. The dates to make changes to benefit elections is from May 15th through June 15th. The new benefit year begins on July 1, 2019. The Benefits Specialist and the Human Resources Intern held Open Enrollment Q & A sessions to help employees prepare for the new benefit year. Page 48

Business Continuity

The Senior Executive Cabinet (SEC) has developed a draft college succession plan for key and essential positions. This plan identifies key positions that need filling upon vacancy due to impact on college operations. Individuals are identified to be in line to potentially fill a key position vacancy. Skill and competency gaps are also identified, so professional development plans can be established to aid in ensuring those on the succession plan are afforded opportunities to reduce and/or eliminate gaps. A final succession plan is scheduled to be complete by September 2019.

Compliance

The Office of Human Resources has worked to update human resources‐related policies and procedures. Approximately seventy‐five percent of the documents have been reviewed and are in first draft form. The first set of drafts are moving to the Executive Cabinet for review and approval to move to the next stages. All revisions will have solicitor review and approval before becoming final. Final policy drafts will be submitted to the Board of Trustees for final approval.

The Human Resources Manager/Employment completed the employment‐related data for annual IPEDS reporting.

Community Engagement

The CCBC Annual March of Dimes March for Babies Walk took place on May 11, 2019.

The CCBC United Way Campaign is up to $6,461. Donations and pledges are due by May 31, 2019.

Diversity

The May 2019 EEO and referral source collection report is attached. Please note, the number of actual applicants per position advertised is typically much greater than responses received from the voluntary applicant EEO survey.

Employee Celebrations and Engagement

This year, the Employee Recognition and Appreciation event was combined with the Employee Retirement celebration, and the Faculty Tenure and Promotion celebration. The celebration of employees, past and present took place on May 1st and was appropriately called the CCBC Legacy Celebration. In attendance were current and past employees, Board of Trustee members, and two former presidents. The combined event was very successful and allowed the college community to reminisce, as well as celebrate, all the contributions from employees over the past fifty years.

The Executive Assistant to the Vice Presidents was the Building 5 team captain for campus cleanup day and led her team to win the best building beautification. Each building had a team captain and many employees were fully engaged in the campus beautification project.

Staff Union (ESPA) leadership and the Office of Human Resources began the work on establishing a job family and pay band system for part‐time staff employees.

Beginning with the 2019 – 2020 assessment period, administrators and confidential employees will be evaluated on both cascading personal goals, as well as shared Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) goals. In addition, salary increases that are scheduled for July 2020 will be based on the consumer price index (CPI) and goal outcomes.

The Office of Human Resources and the Office of Planning, Assessment, and Improvement have planned goal setting workshops for administrative and confidential employees and another set of goal setting workshops for staff employees.

The Human Resources Manager/Payroll and the Payroll Specialist are holding payroll question and answer sessions for all employees during the month of June.

The Office of Human Resources has been building a Managers Tool Kit binder for use in carrying out various managerial and/or supervisory responsibilities. This binder will initially have three to four tabs of information to include topics such as hiring, time and attendance, and performance management. The instructions will be updated on a routine basis and new topics will be added. The tool kits are scheduled to be delivered to administrative employees by May 31, 2019.

The Executive Director of Planning, Assessment and Improvement and the Vice President of Human Resources attended a data analytics conference to capture best practices in employee and business‐ related assessments. Page 50

Advancement & Sponsored Programs Update

Extramural Funding Over the course of the fiscal year, the Advancement & Sponsored Programs operation of CCBC has helped secure more than $2.5 million extramural funding from philanthropic sources, government grants and in‐kind contributions to the institution. Those resources are further augmented by the $2 million grant provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as a matching grant for the Shell Center for Process Technology Education. These investments have combined with last year’s record level of fund acquisition to propel CCBC forward and rapidly move the needle on the institutions fundraising goals.

Organization Over the course of the next quarter, Advancement & Sponsored Programs Team welcomes two new members. Leanne Condron will join as the college’s first Development Associate and will play an integral role in helping CCBC reconnect with alumni. Those relationships will be influential for alumni mentoring and increased philanthropic investment in the institution and will be essential to the ability to develop a balanced donor pyramid.

Additionally, Deanna Hregdovic will join as an Advancement & Sponsored Programs Financial Assistant. In this newly created role, Deanna will help manage financial processes for CCBC that will free Kolton and Leanne to focus additional resources on resource development.

I look forward to the great impact Leanne and Deanna will have as parts of the Advancement & Sponsored Programs team over the course of the coming year.

Celebration Week May 2nd was a historic day at CCBC, we broke ground on The Shell Center for Process Technology, welcomed our first graduating class back to CCBC for an alumni reunion, and celebrated our 50th Commencement Ceremony!

At the groundbreaking for The Shell Center for Process Technology Education, the college welcomed a who’s who of guests and speakers including, Governor Tom Wolf, countless executive leaders from industry, and local, state, and national legislators who have helped make the project a reality. However, CCBC was most proud to welcome some of the first graduates from the Process Technology program, alumni with diverse backgrounds and experiences that all came to CCBC with a shared a goal to secure employment in the advanced manufacturing industry. All were successful, and are now employed with one of the world’s leaders in the energy industry and help build a $7 billion project that will help transform our regional economy. The event helped focus a spotlight on Page 51

our work in the energy and advanced manufacturing sector to help generate additional investments in CCBC.

Additionally, as CCBC welcomed home the first alumni, the Class of 1969, they were overcome with enthusiasm. They all came to the then newly founded Community College of Beaver County to help gain a credential that would allow them to secure employment. That credential turned into a springboard for the rest of their lives helping them become leaders at corporate powerhouses like PPG, Eaton, and Westinghouse, all while supporting their families and community for the past 50 years. These alumni were excited and enthused with their visit to CCBC and can help the college reconnect with a lost generation of CCBC alumni.

Additionally, during commencement, CCBC bestowed faculty emeritus status to more than 20 former professors. These professors helped shape CCBC and provide a valuable connection to alumni throughout the years. This opportunity will help reconnect these influential professors to CCBC in the coming year.

Golf Outing The CCBC Foundation’s 19th annual golf outing will take place on Friday, June 7th at Blackhawk Golf Course. As you all know, the Golf Outing provides essential unrestricted funding fuels the operations of the Foundation and acts as a multiplier to help us secure all of the funding we do. I encourage you to participate or consider supporting the event this year.

Inauguration Planning In partnership with Leslie Tennant, Kolton Codner convened the first meeting of the Inauguration Planning Committee. CCBC will host the Inauguration for President Davis on Friday, September 27th. This will mark the first formal Inauguration Ceremony for CCBC and will provide a unique opportunity to propel CCBC forward through pomp, circumstance, and purpose. In addition to the formal installation ceremony at 2 pm in the Dome, the college will host an Inaugural Gala that evening at 7 pm at the Club at Shadow Lakes. Funds raised from the Inaugural Gala will support the unrestricted Excellence Fund at the CCBC Foundation.

CCBC’s renovated Learning Resources Center unveiled By Marsha Keefer Posted Apr 12, 2019 at 4:00 AM The $3.2 million upgrade launched last summer is the first since the center was built in 1996. The renovations will make the space more collaborative and technologically relevant.

CENTER TWP. — Community College of Beaver County formally unveiled its renovated, state-of-the-art Learning Resources Center at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday morning.

The $3.2 million upgrade launched last summer is the first since the center was built in 1996. The renovations will make the space more collaborative and technologically relevant.

Though opened for use in January, the official dedication was delayed to coincide with this week’s celebration of National Library Week with the theme “Libraries Equal Strong Communities.”

“Libraries open us up to the world through access to books, information and technology,” said Roger W. Davis, CCBC president, to a gathering that included CCBC staff, board and trustees; county officials including Commissioners Tony Amadio and Dan Camp, who read a proclamation in recognition of National Library Week; and community representatives.

“Today, we start a new chapter of student learning and community engagement,” Davis said.

Downstairs classrooms in the Learning Resource Center also were updated — new carpeting, paint, ceiling tiles — as was a multipurpose space that can seat approximately 200.

Project architect was Renaissance 3 Architects in Pittsburgh. John Pappas, vice president and partner of Eckles Construction in New Castle was construction manager.

Terri Gallagher, CCBC reference librarian, called the Learning Resources Center a “grand gift” not only for the campus, but community, too.

Since its opening, she said the space has “brimmed” with visitors seeking “silent study, collaborative learning, enlightenment and entertainment,” noting this week’s events featuring an Edible Books Festival and Robert Frost impersonation.

Gallagher said comments from students and visitors have ranged from “I love it” and “Can I work here?” to “I can’t believe this is the same library.”

“The feedback has been an affirmation of and testament to the hours, days and months poured into this project by individuals from many backgrounds,” she said.

Prior to renovation, Pappas said the library was “very outdated and needed to have a facelift to be more inviting and more useful for today’s education.”

Today’s trend in libraries is collaborative spaces, said Scott Monit, CCBC’s associate vice president of facilities and grounds.

“Students work differently now than they did 20 years ago,” he said.

For example, not everyone had a cellphone, iPad or laptop then, he said. Now, all study tables have built-in USB ports and outlets to plug in and recharge devices. https://www.ellwoodcityledger.com/entertainmentlife/20190412/ccbcs-renovated-learning-resources-center-unveiled 2/3 5/8/2019 CCBC's renovated Learning Resources Center unveiled - Entertainment & Life - Ellwood City Ledger - Ellwood City, PA Page 58 “We tried to design this with today’s student in mind.”

The library space wasn’t expanded, but reconfigured.

“We pretty much gutted the entire space upstairs,” Monit said.

Ceilings were raised; flooring is a combination of carpet and luxury vinyl plank tile; lights are LED for efficiency; stacks and furniture are new; and the circulation/reference desk is now a centralized hub. Walls in conference areas are coated with dry-erase paint.

“The LEDs really pop the space,” Monit said. And most of the furnishings are mobile, enabling reconfiguration of spaces as needed.

“Everybody I’ve talked to seems real positive about the space. I was walking through here yesterday. It was packed. People were chatting and having fun. All these rooms were filled and there were kids drawing all over the walls. It was rewarding to see.”

Students Derek Douglas of South Beaver Township and Brian Martine of Freedom, working on math problems in a study area, were enthusiastic about the redesign.

“I like it quite a bit,” Martine said. “I like the new furniture. The charging stations seem pretty up to date, which is great. They did not have anything like that before and that is wonderful.”

“I think it brightens up the place,” Douglas said of the renovation.

“I definitely feel more inclined to come here,” Martine said.

Navigating Energy Booms and Busts The fracking revolution has created new job opportunities, but are workers prepared for the uctuations of the energy economy?

Article by: Tim Sablik

SHUTTERSTOCK

In 1956, Shell Oil Co. researcher M. King Hubbert predicted that U.S. oil and gas production would begin to decline after 1970. This theory of "peak oil" caught on quickly when it seemed that Hubbert was spot on. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, crude oil production grew to just shy of 10 million barrels per day in 1970 and then declined to roughly half that over the next three decades. Natural gas production kept growing a bit longer, until 1973, before declining as well.

Recently, however, oil and gas drilling have been making a comeback. Oil production is nearly back to its previous peak, and natural gas production has surpassed its 1973 high point. In 2017 and 2018, the United States extracted so much oil and gas that it became a net exporter for the rst https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/econ_focus/2018/q4/feature1?cc_view=print 1/9 time5/8/2019 in over half a century. The twinEcon developments Focus, Fourth Quarter of2018 hydraulic - Federal Reserve fracturing Bank of Richmond Page 63 ("fracking") and horizontal drilling are responsible for this boom. They have allowed rms to tap into previously dicult to reach deposits of oil and natural gas in shale rock formations throughout the country. (See "The Once and Future Fuel ," Region Focus, Second/Third Quarter 2012.)

For states sitting on top of rich shale oil and gas reserves, such as North Dakota, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, the fracking boom has brought huge job opportunities. From 2007 through 2014, the oil and gas industry added roughly 60,000 jobs on net during a period when many industries were still reeling from the Great Recession.

Much of the boom in natural gas extraction has been driven by activity along the Marcellus shale formation underlying where Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia meet. From the beginning of 2007 to the end of 2018, the Marcellus shale region went from producing a million cubic feet of gas per day to over 21 billion cubic feet per day, a 21,000-fold increase. (See chart below.) The shale revolution has resulted in huge economic opportunities in energy extraction, construction, and related elds. But are some workers giving up their education, and future opportunities, to get in on the boom?

A 2017 study by the RAND Corporation found that in 2010-2014, wages for construction and extraction in the Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia counties aected by the shale boom were about $10,000 higher on average than for the rest of the country. While this represents a good opportunity for workers in those areas, one concern is that this premium might draw students away from school, potentially harming their long- term employment prospects as well as the overall human capital of the region.

"In southwestern Pennsylvania, there was a surge in low-skill employment over a very short period when the fracking pads were being constructed," says Jim Denova, vice president of the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, a nonprot that promotes education in West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania. "I think those jobs tended to draw students out of community colleges."

It's a problem the region is all too familiar with. Coal mined in the Appalachians helped fuel the Industrial Revolution in America in the 18th and 19th centuries and production across two world wars, but since then, the industry has mostly been in decline. About nine out of 10 West Virginia coal mining jobs disappeared between 1940 and 2000. (See "The Future of Coal ," Econ Focus, Fourth Quarter 2013.) Coal did enjoy a bit of a comeback in the 1970s as oil and natural gas declined. This led to a sudden increase in demand for coal miners in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Ohio that lasted about a decade.

Dan Black of the University of Chicago, Terra McKinnish of the University of Colorado Boulder, and Seth Sanders of Duke University found that during this coal boom, the wage gap between high school graduates and non-graduates shrank. In economics, the potential loss associated with choosing one investment over another is known as the opportunity cost. In this case, the opportunity cost of staying in school went up as wages for miners increased. As this happened, Black, McKinnish, and Sanders found that high school enrollment rates declined.

A similar dynamic played out in Alberta, Canada, during the same period. There, rising oil prices driven by the OPEC embargoes increased oil production and demand for workers. J.C. Herbert Emery of the University of New Brunswick, Ana Ferrer of the University of Waterloo, and David Green of the University of British Columbia found that enrollment in postsecondary education fell in Alberta during the 1973-1981 oil boom. https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/econ_focus/2018/q4/feature1?cc_view=print 3/9 Early5/8/2019 evidence suggests that the shaleEcon Focus,boom Fourth may Quarter be 2018 having - Federal aReserve similar Bank of Richmond Page 65 eect on students' decisions about staying in school. Elizabeth Cascio of Dartmouth College and Ayushi Narayan, a Ph.D. candidate in economics at Harvard University, found that fracking increased high school dropout rates, particularly for young men. And another study by Dan Rickman and Hongbo Wang of Oklahoma State University and John Winters of Iowa State University found that the shale boom reduced high school and college attainment among residents of Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia. And declining student attendance isn't the only way energy booms could hurt education outcomes. Even students who remain in school may be aected.

"In the case of Texas, we saw no eect on completion rates and some small decline in student attendance," says Jeremy Weber, an economist at the University of Pittsburgh. "But changes in the labor market brought about by the shale boom inuenced whether teachers stayed in the classroom."

In a recent paper with Joseph Marchand of the University of Alberta, Weber found that the average experience of teachers fell during the boom as teacher turnover went up. Some teachers may have been drawn to other private sector opportunities made more attractive by the boom, while others may have been able to retire thanks to royalties on property connected to drilling. Indeed, in another paper with Jason Brown of the Kansas City Fed and Timothy Fitzgerald of Texas Tech University, Weber found that the largest shale oil and gas regions generated $39 billion in private royalties in 2014. Whatever the cause, as the turnover of experienced teachers went up, standardized test performance at Texas schools went down.

This evidence seems to suggest that energy booms reduce educational attainment, at least in the short run. But in the case of the shale revolution, there may also be other factors pushing in the opposite direction.

A Dierent Kind of Boom

Early on, fracking companies needed a lot of labor to transport materials and build the wells and pipelines. But Denova says that in Pennsylvania those jobs were short lived. Dropping out of school to work may be less attractive if the job is expected to only last about a year rather than a decade, as in the case of the coal and oil booms of the 1970s.

Additionally, many of the shale well construction jobs don't always go to locals, says Jen Giovannitti, president of the Benedum Foundation and a former community development manager at the Richmond Fed. "The companies doing the initial drilling and exploration are often out-of-town companies that have the ability to move their workforce from site to site."

A study by Riley Wilson of Brigham Young University conrmed that the surge in demand for fracking workers generated a "sizable migration response" across shale regions. These eects may have muted some of the incentives for local students to drop out and work. Once the wells were constructed, shale rms needed workers to operate them, but those positions are not low skill.

"The technicians who run the wells all need at least two years of training to operate the complex systems," says Paul Schreer. From 2011 to 2016, he served as dean of the School of Workforce Education at Pierpont Community and Technical College in Fairmont, W. Va. "Companies couldn't nd enough of those workers, no matter how much they were willing to pay."

Firms began turning to local community colleges and technical schools, like Pierpont, to train workers for those jobs. Pierpont was an early participant in ShaleNET, an eort to develop those training and certication programs across shale oil and gas regions. The program received initial federal funding from the U.S. Department of Labor in 2010. Energy companies helped to develop curricula and also provided funding, instructors, and apprenticeship opportunities for students. Although Schreer says rms were committed to student development, some students were still lured away from their studies by the opportunities in the industry.

https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/econ_focus/2018/q4/feature1?cc_view=print 5/9 "The5/8/2019 companies right now are so eagerEcon Focus, for Fourth workers Quarter 2018that - Federal they Reserve are hiringBank of Richmond Page 67 students right out of programs," says Elizabeth McIntyre, director of the Tristate Energy and Advanced Manufacturing (TEAM) Consortium that connects schools and employers across western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and northern West Virginia.

In the case of both technicians and lower-skilled positions, though, students who left school to work in the shale industry may not be out for good. The study by Emery, Ferrer, and Green that looked at the oil boom in Alberta during the 1970s found that while postsecondary education attainment fell initially, it later recovered after the boom ended. The authors hypothesized that individuals who went to work in the oil elds instead of going to school were able to save enough money to make it easier to go back to school once the boom ended. In contrast, they found that the cohorts of students who came of age after the oil boom had gone bust were less likely to go to college, perhaps because they did not have the same opportunity to earn the premium wages in the energy sector that would have helped them cover the costs of higher education.

"Are people worse o for having not pursued college because of an energy boom?" asks University of Pittsburgh's Weber. "Suppose I graduate from high school and instead of going to college, I go to work in a shale- related industry. When the boom goes bust, maybe I get a two-year degree in a eld I'm interested in and see a demand for, or maybe I go to college with a clearer focus and more money so I don't need to borrow as much. It's not clear to me that that scenario is so problematic."

Of course, that partly depends on the drive and circumstances of each individual and may also depend on his or her age when the boom ends. Kerwin Charles and Erik Hurst of the University of Chicago and Matthew Notowidigdo of Northwestern University studied the educational eects of the U.S. housing boom and bust that lasted from the late 1990s to the late 2000s. They found that the boom in housing demand drew many young people into related sectors, including construction and real estate. But unlike the case of the Alberta oil workers, after the housing market collapsed, educational attainment for individuals who had deferred school remained low, suggesting that many did not return to their studies.

"Once you start working and start a family, it can become very dicult to go back to college," says Weber. "So I could see dierent scenarios playing out."

Preparing for the Future

"I think everyone knows that the energy sector is very volatile when it comes to employment," says Gabriella Gonzalez, a researcher at the RAND Corporation who studies the energy sector in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. She has also been involved in promoting education and industry partnerships in that region.

At the national level, signs of a slowdown are already here. Employment in shale oil and gas extraction peaked in 2014 and has now declined to pre-boom levels. In places like West Virginia, where the shale boom started a bit later, employment has held steady so far, but growth has largely plateaued. (See charts below.) Both signs point to one truth that experienced workers in the energy sector know well: Booms don't last forever.

The Appalachian region has been through slumps before. Past declines in coal mining and manufacturing displaced workers who came from long lines of coal miners or steel workers and strongly identied with that work. Despite eorts to retrain those workers for new advanced manufacturing or shale-related energy jobs, some reports suggest that the take-up rate of those programs has been low.

"Many people are still looking to nd that one company where they can get hired and work until retirement," says John Goberish, the dean of workforce and continuing education at the Community College of Beaver County (CCBC) in Pennsylvania, where TEAM is headquartered. "But that's just not as likely as it was 30 or 40 years ago."

To that end, programs developed under ShaleNET and TEAM aim to give students a foundation of basic skills such as problem solving and teamwork while also teaching them the technical skills to meet a variety of https://www.richmondfed.org/publications/research/econ_focus/2018/q4/feature1?cc_view=print 7/9 industry5/8/2019 needs. For example, a degreeEcon Focus,in mechatronics Fourth Quarter 2018 - combinesFederal Reserve Bank skills of Richmond Page 69 from mechanical and electrical engineering that apply to jobs in advanced manufacturing as well as natural gas extraction and processing.

"Those basic skills are critical across industries," says Schreer. "I would tell my students all the time that once they understand the basic properties of mechanical or electronic systems, it's very easy to jump from one sector to another."

And to encourage students to stick with their training until they graduate, schools like CCBC and Pierpont oer exible programs that allow students to take classes piecemeal and build toward certications and a degree over time.

"We are trying to give students a lot of options, including an 'earn and learn' approach that includes internships, apprenticeships, and other on- the-job training where they don't have to choose between going to school and going to work. They can do both," says TEAM's McIntyre.

Companies have also expressed their support. "Firms want our students to have that associate's degree," says Goberish. "Many of our instructors are from industry and they know it will be benecial to everyone if students nish their training."

Firms and schools are also looking ahead to the jobs to come and nding ways to ensure that the activity surrounding the shale boom doesn't just disappear once the wells are in place and the gas is owing. Shell is building an ethane cracker plant in Beaver County to turn the ethane gas extracted from the shale there into plastics that can be used in a variety of products. Construction of the plant has employed thousands of workers, and once the plant is in place, it will represent hundreds of advanced manufacturing jobs for graduates of CCBC's programs. There have been discussions about building additional cracker plants along the Ohio River Valley, including in West Virginia.

By collaborating with industry, educators are trying to provide relevant and exible programs to prepare workers for the next jobs. That constant change requires both students and teachers to be nimble.

"No one really knows what's coming down the pipeline next," says Gonzalez. "There's continuous innovation in technology, and it makes it hard for educators to keep pace with those changes. Likewise, employers

Edible Book Festival: CCBC campus, community ate it up By Marsha Keefer Posted Apr 9, 2019 at 4:27 PM Updated Apr 9, 2019 at 5:10 PM Monday’s event in conjunction with National Library Week was designed for those who like to devour literature.

You could sink your teeth into these books.

The Edible Books Festival at Community College of Beaver County had students, staff and community eating it up.

Terri Gallagher, CCBC reference librarian and assistant professor, designed the novel event for those who like to devour literature.

Monday’s festival, which coincided with this week’s celebration of National Library Week, invited campus and community members to create edible art related to books based on title, cover or content. Puns and twists were encouraged, too.

Twenty-two entries from classic to children’s literature were received. Submissions included edible art made from cakes, cupcakes, pies, candies, marshmallows, cereal, vegetables, meat and cheese, and snacks.

For a first-time event, Gallagher was pleased. She hoped for at least 10 entries. “We did well,” she said. “I think it was fun. I count it a success.”

The idea sprang from the International Edible Book Festival, a yearly event since 2000 created by Béatrice Coron and the late Judith A. Hoffberg. Many colleges and libraries around the world host events, Gallagher said, usually around April Fools’ Day. https://www.timesonline.com/entertainmentlife/20190409/edible-book-festival-ccbc-campus-community-ate-it-up 1/4 5/8/2019 Edible Book Festival: CCBC campus, community ate it up - Entertainment & Life - The Times - Beaver, PA Page 72 Gallagher first experienced an edible books festival a few years ago when Beaver Area Memorial Library hosted a fundraiser called “Let Them Eat Books.”

Kim Revay, adjunct faculty member in CCBC’s business, arts, sciences and technology department, was a contestant.

She turned a pun on sci-fi author Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.” Her entry, “Do Androids Dream of Eclectic Sheep,” had Almond Joy candy bars nestled under a blanket in a baby cradle. The cradle was decorated with the words “beets” and a push of a button played the recorded lullaby “Rock- A-Bye Baby.”

“I just love this. It’s absolutely bizarre,” said Revay. “What people came up with — it’s crazy.”

Katie Thomas, associate dean for business, arts, sciences and technology, made the project a family enterprise involving husband, Shaun, and son Henry, 10.

Their entry was “Diary of a Hungry Kid: Potluck,” a takeoff on Jeff Kinney’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck.”

They baked a cake and copied the book cover in icing.

“I thought it was really fun,” Thomas said.

Her son’s favorite part was dyeing icing green.

“Lots of green fingers,” she said.

Vicki Suehr, a CCBC human resources payroll manager, loves colorful Easter decorations and chose Dr. Mary Manz Simon’s “My Easter Basket: And the True Story of Easter” for her edible creation. Kit Kat wafers encircled two round cakes to make the basket. Its handles were licorice. Grass was coconut dyed with green food coloring. Peeps, bubblegum eggs, pastel M&M candies and jelly beans completed the look. She wrote Simon’s book title in pink and blue icing on a white chocolate bar.

“It was so fun,” Suehr said, and got everyone’s attention on campus.

https://www.timesonline.com/entertainmentlife/20190409/edible-book-festival-ccbc-campus-community-ate-it-up 2/4 5/8/2019 Edible Book Festival: CCBC campus, community ate it up - Entertainment & Life - The Times - Beaver, PA Page 73 “Every time I walked out of my building I looked over to the bridge to the library and there were people coming and going. You could just feel the excitement in the air. Everyone was like ‘I gotta go vote’ and everyone was excited to see the cakes, too.”

Leo Tolstoy’s “War and Peace” inspired three entrants who came up with “War and Pizza,” a 12-inch round cake decorated with edible candies and coconut to resemble toppings; “S’more and Peace,” three of the campfire treats in a row; and “War and Peeps,” a round cake topped with plastic soldiers opposite the iconic marshmallow candy.

Some entries, like “Animal Farm,” were elaborate creations while others, “Lonesome Dove,” for example, were sublime in simplicity — a lonely Dove candy bar apart from a pile of Hershey’s Nuggets. Another entry based on Adam Centamore’s “Tasting Wine & Cheese” was a very literal interpretation: an assorted cheese and pepperoni tray with Ritz Crackers and wine goblets.

Trish Foley, an instructor of video technology at CCBC, spent four hours on her “Animal Farm” display and won the first-place prize of $100 for her effort. She read the George Orwell book in high school, but thinks its message is timeless.

The brick-and-mortar windmill on the book’s cover was replicated with miniwheat cereal as bricks and peanut butter as mortar. Windmill arms were made of pretzel squares and rods. Pigs that lived on the farm were gluten-free meringue cookies in assorted colors. Chocolate fudge pudding stood in for mud.

This is the first time Foley’s entered an edible art contest.

“It was so fun. It was a blast,” she said. “I’ve always been super creative and enjoy anything that I can do to help support students. I expect them to do great things — put some time and effort. I was trying to show by example how you can be creative. I think art and creativity is in any field and any discipline.”

Pat Smith, director of Monaca Public Library, won second place and $50 for the above-mentioned “War and Pizza.”

A team entry, “Of Mice and Men” by Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation comprised of Brenda Applegate, executive director, Lil Stout, Ruth Drake and Sue and Stacey Hirth, placed third and won $25. A cake

A trio of gingerbread men stood guard. The words “The best made plans often go awry” were written in blue icing.

Other titles included “Game of Scones”; “The Tail of Peter Rabbit (a coconut snowball on top of carrot cake); “Three Blind Mice” (a trio of Rice Krispies Treats); “Lady Locks and the Three Eclairs”; and two quirky spins on Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

One twist fashioned a tabletop grill with toasted marshmallows as charcoal. Lying on the grill was a mockingbird whose body was half an onion, its wings were onion wedges and head was a sliced mushroom. Beak and eyes were pistachio shells.

“Tequila Mockingbird” had a bird made of lime with lime-wedge wings. The bird, stabbed with a cocktail pick, was lying inside a margarita glass accompanied by a mini bottle of Cuervo.

After voting was completed and winning entries were announced, participants and the campus community were invited to consume the books.

Two men charged with leaving bomb threat at CCBC By Rachel Wagoner [email protected] Posted Apr 9, 2019 at 3:51 PM Updated Apr 9, 2019 at 3:57 PM Two men were charged with felonies after leaving a threatening note in the library at the Community College of Beaver County, police said.

CENTER TWP. — Two men were charged with felonies after leaving a threatening note in the library at the Community College of Beaver County, police said.

Police responded to CBCC on Monday afternoon for a potential bomb threat, according to the police report. A security officer told police a pink Post-it note was found in the library that read, “I’m gonna blow this (expletive) up. Run!!!”

The security officer showed police surveillance video of a man placing the note in the library. The man was identified as Nasir Campbell, 21, of Philadelphia. Campbell was arrested and admitted to placing the note in the library.

Officers were approached by 19-year-old Tyree Corbett of Center Township, who said he was the one who wrote the note and gave it to Campbell.

Campbell and Corbett were charged by Center Township police with felony counts of risking catastrophe and making terroristic threats, as well as misdemeanor counts of making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. Both men were placed in the Beaver County Jail after failing to post $250,000 bond.

CENTER TWP. — Two basketball players for the Community College of Beaver County who are facing felony charges after an alleged bomb threat are back on campus completing their spring-semester studies.

Nasir Campbell, 21, of Philadelphia and 19-year-old Tyree Corbett of Center Township are charged with felony counts of risking catastrophe and making terroristic threats, as well as misdemeanor counts of making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct, after an incident on April 8.

During that incident, a security officer told police a pink Post-it note was found in the library that read, “I’m gonna blow this (expletive) up. Run!!!” Surveillance footage allegedly showed Campbell placing the note, and Corbett allegedly admitted to writing the note before giving it to Campbell.

Both students were placed in the Beaver County Jail after failing to post $250,000 bond and are awaiting preliminary hearings Friday morning. According to court records, Campbell was released April 12 while Corbett was released on the day of the incident.

They have returned to campus after writing a letter of apology to the CCBC community, spokeswoman Leslie Tennant said.

The students (who have since written letters of apology to the CCBC community), are currently on campus completing their spring-semester studies.”

Tennant said that Campbell and Corbett were members of CCBC’s basketball team last season but could not confirm if they are still part of the squad.

“Through the student code of conduct, disciplinary action was taken and recorded as part of the students’ education records. I cannot provide specifics, however, due to FERPA. Student education records are official and confidential documents protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and defined as all records that schools or education agencies maintain about students,” she said.

Both men are scheduled to have preliminary hearings at 10:30 a.m. Friday before District Judge John W. Armour.

BEAVER — All felony charges have been dropped against two Community College of Beaver County students accused of making a bomb threat on campus earlier this month.

Both Nasir Campbell, 21, of Philadelphia and 19-year-old Tyree Corbett of Center Township were charged with felony counts of risking catastrophe and making terroristic threats, as well as misdemeanor counts of making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct, after an incident on April 8.

During that incident, a security officer told police a pink Post-it note was found in the library that read, “I’m gonna blow this (expletive) up. Run!!!” Surveillance footage showed Campbell allegedly placing the note. Corbett allegedly admitted to writing the note before giving it to Campbell.

Both students participated on CCBC’s basketball team last season and were allowed back on campus to complete their studies for the spring semester while awaiting a preliminary hearing. On Friday, District Judge Edward Howe agreed to drop the felony charges, although both students still face misdemeanor charges.

Steven Valsamidis, the defense attorney for Campbell, said Monday that he hasn’t seen the surveillance footage from the alleged incident, but it was his understanding that it was “blown out of proportion.”

They’re both very nice and a pleasure to deal with.”

Valsamidis added that both students have been performing community service and have been in regular contact with school officials to update them on the progress of that community service.

The next step in the process will come at the end of May, when both students are formally arraigned. At that time, Valsamidis will talk with the district attorney’s office about how to proceed.

“Knowing both boys, there was no malicious intent there, and hopefully there isn’t any perceived on behalf of the commonwealth,” he said. “Hopefully, this is resolved amicably.”

Arraignment is expected to occur May 29 in front of Judge Kim Tesla.

Shell, CCBC to hold hiring expo aimed at military vets By Jared Stonesifer Posted Apr 15, 2019 at 4:04 PM Updated Apr 15, 2019 at 4:15 PM Shell Chemicals is again teaming up with the Community College of Beaver County to hold a career workshop for military veterans.

CENTER TWP. — Shell Chemicals is again teaming up with the Community College of Beaver County to hold a career workshop for military veterans.

As it has done several times in the past, Shell is marketing the event as being tailored to military veterans, reservists, active military and those looking for a career change with mechanical backgrounds.

Despite that, the event is also open to individuals with “defined technical credentials” in past work experience, as well as students who are enrolled in or have graduated from CCBC’s process technology program.

The event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. May 7 in CCBC’s student services center. Those interested in attending are encouraged to register on CCBC’s website.

In addition to the CCBC event, Shell will hold a similar hiring expo earlier the same day at Heinz Field, although specific details haven’t yet been released.

In a statement, Shell spokesman Joe Minnitte said the company places an emphasis on hiring military veterans company-wide.
