Since 1960 this institution has been an educational leader in Central and Southside Virginia. Since 2008, with the construction of two four-story residence halls, we have been providing that same quality of instruction to students from across the state and beyond. The College’s enrollment of over 1,600 full and part-time students is indicative of the confidence expressed by the traditional student, the adult learner, and the general public in the quality of instruction offered by our outstanding faculty.

  • To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders
    To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders We closed the pool on November 17 as California slipped into the red and then the purple tier designations for COVID spread. These tiers mandated that indoor pools be closed for public use. Humboldt County progressed to the orange tier on April 6th which finally allows facilities such as ours to reopen! The approved Operational Plan has allowed the pool to reopen, but it also has a number of restrictions in place to promote a safe environment for customers and staff. Limited numbers of people in the facility, restrictions on group use, enhanced cleaning procedures are all examples of these restrictions. Aspects of these social distancing measures, additional operational costs and the nearly five‐month closure has created significant operational and financial challenges for the pool. For Season Pass holders we welcome you back to the pool and would like to inform you on how we are going to work with annual passes going forward. For 2020 Passes: 1. We will calculate a credit or a refund, based on you time lost during the most recent closure. This amount will include all days starting on the closure date in November up to the date the pass would have expired in 2021 2. You have three options for this amount. a. We can issue you a credit towards a new 2021 pass. b. A refund can be issued. Once requested a check will be sent to your physical address. This will take up to three weeks to process. c. You can donate this amount if you would like to help the pool through this unprecedented financial challenge.

  • Beginning a Learning Community: Pilot Fall 2006
    Beginning a Learning Community: Pilot Fall 2006 By Shirley Buttram to implement the necessary interventions (such as a learning community) to empower students to be successful in college completion. Program Strategy Tinto (1998) advocated enrolling “at-risk” students into a learning com- munity initiative; by Fall 2006, NACC had established the first Mustang Learning Community (MLC) with the intention to provide MLC students Shirley Buttram a smooth transition between developmental/transitional courses and Developmental Studies Coordinator college-level courses. The implementation of the learning community Northeast Alabama Community College initiative involved administering the following components: P. O. Box 159 Rainsville, AL 35986 [email protected] Advisors discreetly enrolled students into the MLC, so that a possible stigma might be lessened. • advisement, • learning style inventory, • learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI), • mentoring and support systems, Colleges and universities across the United States are still enrolling students • intervention activities, who are underprepared for college-level courses of study. Tinto (1998) • supplemental technological assistance, and stated at the Conference on Replacing Remediation in Higher Education: “Students are entering college with no more than a sixth-grade education • assessment and evaluation. in basic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics.” Therefore, These components were important for the overall assessment and for the colleges and universities across the nation continue to spend considerable evaluation of the learning community project. revenue to provide academic support to developmental students. However, NACC encountered several obstacles in the implementation Tinto’s (1998) research posed a serious problem, which was the enroll- of the Mustang Learning Community (MLC); for example, the Math Chair ment of “at-risk” students in college institutions across the nation.

    Program #40048 - Community Epidemiology 2/17/2017 Department: Health Department Program Contact: Dr. Frank Franklin Program Offer Type: Existing Operating Program Program Offer Stage: As Requested Related Programs: Program Characteristics: In Target Executive Summary Community Epidemiology Services (CES) provides the fundamental capacity that enables the Public Health Division to make data-driven decisions, program improvements, and policy recommendations. CES helps public health leaders, policy makers, clinicians, and community members assess the magnitude of disease, disorder, and injury burden among community populations. CES identifies the drivers of health and disease determinants and captures whether health interventions are working well. Program Summary Community Epidemiology Services (CES) fulfills a unique and required governmental public health role by collecting and analyzing programmatic, population health, and environmental data to prevent disease and promote and protect health among all Multnomah County populations. The CES unit leads Public Health Division (PHD) programs in coordinated public health data and epidemiologic analysis. Epidemiology is the study of the causes, distribution, and control of disease in populations. CES analyzes population and health system data to assist programs in optimizing quality and accountability to the communities they serve. CES provides data and reports to support program development, strategic planning, resource allocation, decision-making, and community priorities (including community-based participatory research). CES works closely with the Communicable Disease Services program to provide outbreak response through data analysis support, statistical modeling, and standardized investigative guidelines. CES identifies appropriate analytical approaches, helps assure the use of high quality data for analysis, and provides technical, scientific oversight and leadership for all research and assessment work in the PHD.

    2020 SEASON 5 IMPACT REPORT Dear Riders, Partners, and the Western New York Community, Thank you for taking the time to read about Reddy Bikeshare and our work in 2020, a year like no other, and we welcome you to take a dive into our fi rst-ever annual report. This report demonstrates the growing popularity of bikesharing in WNY and was The SMI and Reddy teams took a group ride to created with the intent to thank our riders, to inform and engage with our community, as the Outer Harbor during golden hour on a late summer’s night, something we do often to bond. well as to recognize our partners that help make everything we do possible. Partnering with Independent Health again in 2020 helped us to elevate the program to more of the community at a time when it was really needed. Together with Independent Health, we are focused on fi nding ways for our communities to get and stay healthy and connected in 2021. Biking is a great way to prioritize your health and well-being. After enduring a challenging year, our team appreciates self-care and well-being more than we ever have. A 222% increase in riders tells us that a rapidly increasing number of Western New Yorkers would agree that Reddy bikes are fun and support overall wellness. As champions of biking, we know that bikes also serve a holistic good – our collective public health, a greener environment, they support small business, and they make people happy. Scientists, health experts, urban planners, small businesses and community associations all agree – biking can be transformational.
