Some of the newest residents which can be found in our Children's Zoo include: Tennessee fainting goats, St. Croix sheep, a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig, a domestic horse and a South American llama. Along with these new residents you will find the two snowy owls we talked about in our last issue. Among these highlights, the Children's Zoo will also have a display of educational interactive graphics. These graphics will highlight certain animals and their special adaptations by allowing children (and adults) to manipulate the graphic to demonstrate the concept. We are also looking forward to the arrival of a Rocky mountain goat which will be displayed in the former Himalayan tahr exhibit. These goats are known for mountain climbing abilities and for their dramatic white coloration. We have a great homed owl which is now on exhibit outside our Cats & Primates Building across from the Red Panda exhibit.

  • SOAR to Success: Take Advantage of Orientation
    Week of April 7, 2014 SOAR to Success: Take Advantage of Orientation Community college students normally invest two years in earning an associate degree. A few, key hours of support right at the beginning can make all the difference in the outcome, leading to two college years well spent and years of success in the career that follows. With its new Student Orientation, Advising, and Registra- tion (SOAR) program, Mohawk Valley Community College has created a structured, efficient approach helping new students get started. By bringing new students together for an interac- tive workshop plus individualized advising, SOAR is the latest way that MVCC supports its students throughout the college experience from admissions to graduation and on into career development. “We are committed to supporting student success through- out college, including right at the beginning. SOAR is based on evidence that students who have a focused orientation are much more likely to succeed later in college,” says Jennifer DeWeerth, associate dean for enrollment and advisement. “We pack the program with things that will be immediately useful to all students, such as how to choose a major, select classes, Students who participate in SOAR leave with a better under- register, and get the most out of their interactions with advisors standing of their academic, transfer, and career goals; build a and other support staff.” sense of community with other MVCC students, faculty, and SOAR is for all new students and transfer students who have staff; register for their first semester and get their MVCC photo not previously attended MVCC. Virtually all new students are ID; become familiar with e-mail and other MVCC technology; required to participate in one of the workshops before starting and learn the ropes of MVCC’s numerous support services and classes.
