Frances Chingcuanco

Destination: Pharmacogenetics Path: HCC Honors Program

Frances Chingcuanco will be seeing a lot of colleges and universities in the near future. She plans to earn a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and molecular biology, followed by graduate school or medical school, and ultimately a career in pharmacogenetics and designing medical drugs. Her path began at HCC where she recently completed a degree program in biotechnology. But what originally was planned as a brief start to college became a solid foundation for Frances. “I had only planned to stay at HCC for a semester,” Frances said. “But because I had so much fun and learned so much from the college, I stayed for three more.” Frances credits HCC’s Honors Program with preparing her for success. “Honors classes pushed me to give my best performance and help solidify the strong work ethic needed to be successful,” she said. “I learned to prioritize and manage time after taking classes that required more effort and attention. “I don’t think I would have become the confident individual I am today without going taking my first two years here,” she said. “HCC gave me the opportunity to see what I can be in the future.” Frances transferred to the University of Maryland Baltimore County to continue her studies.

Meghan Hess

Destination: Disney World HCC’s Hospitality Management Program

Meghan Hess has lived many different places in the U.S. and abroad through her father’s naval career, but was introduced to a totally unique “World” through an HCC semester internship at Disney. She considers her experience at Disney “great exposure to the numerous paths hospitality can take as a career.” Meghan has also experienced HCC as hospitable – with praise for campus resources like the computer labs and library, and the helpfulness and availability of the teachers. After graduating from HCC with an associate’s degree in Hospitality Management, she plans on transferring to a four-year institution to complete her bachelor’s degree.

Shanise Clark

Destination: First grade teacher Path: Silas Craft Collegians program

Shanise Clark has no hesitation whatsoever when asked about her career goal: “I want to be a first grade teacher,” she said. “There is nothing better in the world than being a teacher.” Shanise grew up in Columbia and graduated from Oakland Mills High School in 2002. When considering college, she was strongly influenced by her church family which included a woman named Dorothye Craft, whose husband is the namesake for HCC’s Silas Craft Collegians Program. Shanise was accepted as a Silas Craft Collegian, designed for promising students whose true potential may not be reflected in their past performance. “It’s such a blessing to have a great network of people to help me fulfill my goals and my dreams. “Through the Silas Craft Collegians Program, I’ve learned leadership and how to let my thoughts be known and to express my thoughts in a clear and concise way so that I can help others.” After HCC, Shanise plans to transfer to Morgan State University, continue her major in elementary education and hopefully pursue a doctorate.

Destination: Professional cartoonist Path: Studio art major

A talking penguin and a stuffed tiger that comes to life have been the influencing factors in Juan Spearman’s career ambitions. “I’ve been drawing cartoons since I was little kid,” Juan says. “I used to read Calvin and Hobbes [the stuffed tiger] and Bloom County [Opus the Penguin], and they were an inspiration to me.” A graduate of Wilde Lake High School, Juan is majoring in studio art at HCC and contributes his cartoons to the HCC Times student newspaper. After HCC, Juan hopes to work professionally as an illustrator or cartoonist. “I would like to see my work published all over the world,” he said. Student Services

Chris Morris

Destination: Study economics Path: James W. Rouse Scholar

Chris Morris recently went digging around, literally, in his family’s past. Chris spent a summer in Greece on an archeological dig as part of a study-abroad program with HCC and Dickinson College. “I enjoyed it because I am Greek and I wanted to go and explore what my ancestors left behind,” said Chris, a lifelong Ellicott City resident. The study-abroad program was one of many benefits of being a James W. Rouse Scholar, Chris said. The innovative honors program also features strong academic programs, mentorship, and community service. Chris is majoring in global economics. He hopes to transfer to Georgetown University and pursue a career in economics. “For a career, I’d like to work at the New York Stock Exchange,” he said. “That would be a dream.” Student Transfer Policies Revised July 1, 1996

Sharon Tuttle

Destination: Advance her office computer skills Path: Continuing Education Ready to Work Series

Sharon Tuttle can now confidently respond in the affirmative to that ubiquitous job requirement “knowledge of MS Office.” A veteran of the restaurant business, Sharon was contemplating different career paths, particularly office management, but knew she would need to advance her computer skills. Looking through an HCC noncredit class brochure mailed to her home, she found both the title and the price of the “Ready to Work Series” to be just the ticket. Sharon completed the four-course series for a thorough introduction to the software applications used in most businesses, and is ready for an introduction to new job opportunities.

Beth Talbot-Sanders

Destination: Hospice Nurse Path: Accelerated Nursing Program

Columbia resident Beth Talbot-Sanders came out of retirement to begin a fourth career, and she chose the fast lane – HCC’s Accelerated Nursing Program. Beth was one of 11 students in the first class of this 12-month RN program. She would eventually like to work as a hospice nurse – a title she can add to former positions as a Peace Corp volunteer, English teacher, and Human Resources director, and a credential to add to her graduate degrees in education and applied behavioral science. So it was high praise indeed when Beth said the program offered her “some of the most challenging courses and some of the best instructors I’ve ever had.” But she reserves top billing for her classmates, and the cohesiveness, support and friendship she experienced within the graduating class of 2005. STATEWIDE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS

The Maryland Higher Education Commission has designed certain instructional programs at Maryland community colleges as statewide programs. In addition to providing greater opportunity to additional Maryland citizens, the implementation of statewide programs allows for more effective planning for the placement of new instructional programs, particularly in high-cost specialties. Since residents of one county can enroll in designated programs in adjoining areas with little or no additional cost, there is less need to have all programs available locally. The procedure tends to reduce unnecessary duplication of effort. Programs designated as statewide are:

Allegany Community College Interpreter Preparation Automotive Technology Labor Studies Culinary Arts Mortuary Science Directed Technology (Travel/Tourism) Multimedia Technology Forest Technology Occupational Safety & Health Technology Hotel & Restaurant Management Personal Trainer Legal Nursing Photography Imaging Medical Assistant Printing Management Technology Nursing Assistant/Geriatric Aide Publication Design Phlebotomy/EKG Technician Radiation Therapy Therapeutic Massage Recreation, Parks and Tourism Travel Management Anne Arundel Community College Veterinary Technology EMT Paramedic Web Design Specialist Hotel/Restaurant Management Medical Assisting Frederick Community College Paralegal Studies Emergency Management Therapeutic Massage Nuclear Medicine Technology

Wendi Cook

Destination: Career with international flavor Path: International Business

After taking her first airplane ride to participate in HCC’s 2005 Spanish study program in Cuernavaca, Wendi Cook would like to figure out a way to re-enroll at HCC just so she can spend an entire semester studying in Mexico. At first, Wendi was unsure of her career goals. She enjoyed her many years of employment at Don Pablo’s restaurant, liked her psychology and sociology courses, loved all her Spanish courses, and had an affinity for the food as well as the language. Wendi has also had a dream to open her own Mexican restaurant. So it’s not too surprising that she eventually declared International Business as her major. With Wendi’s work history, study abroad experience, and HCC education in management theory with an international perspective, we may well see a new “Wendi’s” restaurant serving tacos and enchiladas.

Chris Williamson

Destination: Get published! Path: Noncredit writing class at HCC

Although he has a good computer job that he enjoys, Chris Williamson would like to do some freelance writing on the side. He likes to travel and hopes to see some of his travel writing in print. So he registered for HCC’s Continuing Education class “Writing and Marketing Freelance Articles.” “Because of this class,” he says, “I now have the tools I need to go out on my own and begin submitting things I write to magazines. This was an intensely practical course. I highly recommend it to anyone at all interested in writing publishable pieces.” And we recommend you, Chris, to computer and travel publishers.
