Central Arizona College 2017

1 CAC Welcomes

President’s Message During my first year at Central Arizona College, it was my priority to meet with our community members to learn how we, as a college, can effectively support their needs. I focused my time and energy on building and strengthening external relationships. Throughout the month of April, I conducted community forums at each of our campuses and in the community of SaddleBrooke. The forums were designed to provide an opportunity for open dialog. Topics of discussion focused on how CAC can meet current and future educational needs in each community and how the college can best communicate with community members. I appreciate those who took the time to attend and share their insights as the feedback provided is critical to helping guide CAC’s future direction. The information received during the forums was incorporated into our Charting CAC’s Future initiative where CAC employees have been involved in helping to determine the college’s priorities, which will be unveiled in Spring 2018 as CAC’s new Strategic Plan. While it is still important for CAC to remain responsive to our community stakeholders, this next year I will be focusing my time and energy on strengthening our internal relationships and transforming CAC’s culture to become one of Trust. These are transformative times in higher education and CAC is embarking on many new and exciting initiatives to respond to the changing landscape. I look forward to sharing our accomplishments in future reports.

We live in a digital age where many of them rent text books online, so their relationship to art is on a screen. For them to be able to interact with works by the great artists and designers is invaluable. The highlight for me was their excitement, for example, Quinton almost squealed with delight as he said ‘…I just saw a real Picasso, and then I saw a Pollock.’ I am certain this experience is one they will keep with them as they continue their studies.” Nursing Students Participate in Emergency Response Exercise at Banner Casa Grande Medical Center On November 15, 2017, nursing students participated in the Arizona Coalition for Healthcare Emergency Response (AzCHER) Full Scale Exercise at Banner Casa Grande Medical Center and Gila River Health Care’s Hu Hu Kam Memorial Hospital. The coordinated exercise simulated a disaster caused by heavy rains and flooding in Pinal, Maricopa, and Gila River Indian Community areas. CAC’s nursing students posed as victims of the disaster to provide standardized patient simulations to emergency department staff in the two area hospitals. Students learned about disaster planning and the importance of triage. The overall experience created a perspec- tive that students do not normally see – disaster preparedness, training, and execution of policies and procedures on a large scale including multiple city and county resource responses.

Young Advanced Technology Academy (YATA) CAC hosted the inaugural Young Advanced Technol- ogy Academy (YATA) at the Signal Peak Campus in June. Two – one-week academies were held to introduce Pinal County students to advanced manu- facturing; one for seventh and eighth graders and the other for ninth and tenth graders. Fifty-three students participated from schools throughout Pinal County. The students were tasked with the creation of a manufacturing line that would produce cupcakes. A complex assembly line was created, with the students trouble shooting issues and creating solutions to overcoming “start-up” problems.
