Annual Report 2016-17
Blue Ridge Community College
LETTER FROM DR. DOWNEY
O
nce again, we are closing out another year—while beginning to celebrate BRCC’s 50th anniversary—and taking the opportunity to reflect on some of the wonderful accomplishments of our students, employees, and community partners. Many of you have directly, or sometimes indirectly, helped to ensure these kinds of achievements are possible. Assistance and support from the businesses and individuals in our service area are often the deciding factor in making an opportunity reality. Too often, lack of funding is the “nail in the coffin” for a new idea, a proactive training, or a life-changing educational opportunity. Your generous donations allow for those things to come to fruition. For that, we are so grateful! This year your continued support is paramount—as our community needs the training and educational opportunities we offer more than ever. If you’ve already made a donation this year, or decide to give now to the Annual Fund, know that your gift will help sustain and enhance BRCC and the community we serve. I hope that as you read through this Annual Report, you will take pride in the highlights we are sharing, because they are yours as well. Thank you, and best wishes for a wonderful New Year!
Dr. John A. Downey President

IN THE CLASSROOM Commencement 2017
Altered Spaces For the third year, a project called Altered Spaces challenged students in Colleen Pendry’s Art 132 class to ”transform an ordinary space into an interactive environment.” Using mostly non-traditional materials, students immersed themselves in a single space with a goal of shifting the perception of the viewer. One result was a troll welcoming all to cross the Technology Bridge.
“What you and I hungered for were those things that feed our passions. It was our passions that brought us to BRCC,” said Human Services graduate and student speaker John Butler Jr. Although the ceremony took place in the JMU Convocation Center rather than at the BRCC campus because of the rain, grads and their families didn’t let the weather dampen their spirits. More than 240 grads were there to walk across the stage, and receive their degree, diploma or certificate from BRCC President, Dr. John Downey. “We leave BRCC with tools for our various journeys. We have developed networks and friendships that will last us our individual lifetimes,” added Mr. Butler. The College conferred 897 degrees, which included 596 associates degrees, 4 diplomas, 163 certificates, and 134 career studies certificates. Ms. Holly Rasheed, a 2011 BRCC graduate, and currently the youngest attorney in Virginia, delivered the commencement address. She spoke about the relationship between the elements of a good story and one’s own life. Linking character development in a book, to the lives of the graduates, “After all, that is why you chose to continue your education. You wanted to continue to develop your character and write your story. Keep doing that, always challenge yourself, always grow and develop your character.” The Commonwealth of Virginia passed legislation that offsets the tuition—by 66%—of certain high-demand credential programs at BRCC through the Workforce Credential Grant (also FastForward). Students pay 1/3 of the tuition when they register, and the remainder is paid by the State when the student finishes the course and obtains the credential. BRCC’s Workforce and Continuing Education Division offers FastForward programs in Healthcare, Business, Commercial Driving, Machining, Manufacturing, Teaching License, and Welding. Already, more than 270 Virginians have earned one of these high-demand credentials from BRCC, leading to a career. “I love my new job. I get to travel. I get to make the money I was hoping to make,” said Andrea Davis, BRCC CDL grad.

The installation projects “pushed students to consider how the environment may become the medium for creating ar t,” said Pendr y. Participating students were David Carbajal, Sue Rober tson, Patricia Boyd, Shandon Mullet, Annie Dean, and Nikki Roberts.
Houff Grand Re-Opening The anchor of the BRCC Campus got a facelift, and additions, and opened its “new” doors in August of 2016. The Houff Student Center was partially renovated, but more impor tantly gained two additions, that nearly doubled the size of the original building. The additions include: ten classrooms, four multipurpose rooms (large spaces that can be turned into two classrooms by closing a divider partition), and two chemistry labs. Spaces for studying and gathering in-between classes, and a bright new main entrance were also much-anticipated features of the additions. Student Services, Financial Aid, Advising and Admissions and Records offices all got new spaces to help provide the most efficient experience for students. Architects, contractors, legislators, and employees were on hand to celebrate and take tours of the new spaces at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 8.
Annual Report 2016-17
Girls Gravitate Toward Technology at Summer Camps BRCC again offered three free camps for middle and high school age females with a goal of exposing them to the variety of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) careers available locally, and allow them to complete hands-on projects. Females in Technology (FIT), Girls Embracing Mechatronics Systems (GEMS2), and Building a Computer for Girls all took place June 12-15, 2017.
In FIT, ninth and tenth grade girls used simple drag-and-drop tools to learn the basics of computer programming to create 3-D animations. Next, under the direction of Dorothy Connelly, associate professor of Information Systems Technology, students designed their own program by creating an original story and storyboard sketches, and then coded it using ALICE progr amming software.
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement in the Advanced Technology Center as faculty member s Matt Goss, Mar k Fitzgerald, and Jim Richerson led middle schoolers in GEMS2 and Building a Computer camps. GEMS2 par ticipants learned about mechatronics, a discipline that combines mechanical engineering, electronics, and systems thinking in the design of products and manufacturing processes. Each day of the camp was devoted to
Study Abroad Trip to China: “A Wonderful, Life-changing Experience” Four Blue Ridge Community College students, along with Art faculty member Jessica Martinkosky, spent May 22 to June 3, 2017, exploring the sights and culture of China. They were joined by four students and two faculty members from Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield, Missouri. One of the Ozarks’ professors had visited China nine times, so they were in good hands. All students took an online course, HST 298 History of China. Assignments included readings from a textbook, content in Blackboard, weekly Discussion Board posts, a group project on the cities visited, two class meetings done via Zoom, a report on a favorite artifact, a trip journal, and a paper on selected historical sites and modern China. The group went to the cities of Beijing, Nanjing, Xian, Luoyang and Pingyao. Sightseeing took them to the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, the Terracotta Army, the Great Wall, Mosque Temple, Longmen Grottoes, hutongs (homes surrounding courtyards on alleys,) numerous temples, and the Massacre Museum in Nanjing. “I think we were all very moved by the Massacre Museum, which memorialized the mass murder and other atrocities committed by the Japanese Army against the citizens of Nanjing in 1937,” said Martinkosky. “The Great Wall was amazing as well.”

designing, building, and programming different projects from scratch, which in turn encouraged creative thinking and teamwork. Lastly, the girls in Building a Computer took all the parts of a computer, CPU, motherboard, RAM, hard drive, etc., and put them together to make a fully functioning computer. They also learned about the field of Cybersecurity: how to be safe on the Internet and keep computers running securely.

IN THE COMMUNITY
Career Connect In an effort to help expose local high schoolers to in-demand, high-tech jobs in health care, the College hosted its third Career Connect event last October.
The Enactus team and advisors on stage at the National Competition.
In partnership with several local businesses and organizations, and with support from all the high schools in the BRCC service area, more than 300 students participated in campus tours, viewed an EMT demonstration, and toured Augusta Health, Sentara RMH, VMRC, Western State, and Bridgewater Retirement Community. Helping students make the connection between kinds of healthcare jobs that exist locally and the training and education required to get those jobs, Career Connect was a success for everyone involved.
The Blue Ridge Community College Enactus team won several awards at the national competition held in May in Kansas City, MO. The team returned with $28,000 in winnings, seven trophies, and one plaque.
BRCC Enactus Team Wins Big
The presentation team finished second in the opening round of competition, and also won or placed in all of the special competitions entered. Special competitions are focused on projects, and BRCC Enactus was the only community college in the country to place in these. BRCC projects included a mentoring program called BRIDGE, poultry farms established in Haiti, a cooking and nutrition project with a special needs group, and several others. “National Competition was eye opening and provided a chance to interact with other Enactus students that are doing great projects all over the world,” said student Abraham Shahswar. “This organization has changed so many lives for the better, and I’m very proud to be part it.” Other students on the competition team are: Pam Simmons, Candace Bickford, Leticia Carrillo, Shinay Geffrard, Timothy Miller, Samantha Neff, and Buslami Akinwumi. Advisors are Dr. Rebecca Evans and Megan Samples.
Civic Engagement is Strong at Blue Ridge In an informal survey to which 63 BRCC employees responded, we learned that our workforce is actively engaged in the community outside the College. Respondents were partnering with 114 organizations across our service region. “That’s quite an accomplishment and something we should be proud of,” said Dr. Dave Urso, the academic dean who conducted the survey. That equates to thousands of hours of volunteer service to make our community a better place. Here, Katie Newman of the Academic Division Office worked as part of a 20-member team doing a packing project at the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank in March.
Of the Haiti project called “Chickens of Hope,” advisor Dr. Rebecca Evans said, “Poul Espwa is projected to generate over $39,000 US dollars in its first full year of operation. Each farm worker will earn $1,200 US dollars annually, which might not sound like a lot of money, but in a country that has a 70% unemployment rate and the average person earns $2 a day, this is life changing!” According to its website, Enactus is an international organization that connects student, academic, and business leaders through entrepreneurial-based projects that empower people to transform opportunities into real, sustainable progress for themselves and their communities.

Annual Report 2016-17
Tenth Year of the Virginia Hunger Symposium Teaming with the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank for a decade, Blue Ridge Community College hosted the 10th Annual Virginia Hunger Symposium in late October. The week of education about food insecurity—locally and globally—culminated with a fabulous concert fundraiser by the Jen Chapin Trio. “Through the Hunger Symposium, the student community raises money and collects food donations, and over ten years, that has resulted in more than 290,000 meals for hungry neighbors,” said Michael McKee, CEO of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. “We’re deeply grateful to be a part of this event and to have a strong advocate in BRCC president John Downey.” Since its inception in 2007, the Virginia Hunger Symposium has raised more than $65,500 and 33,600 pounds of food, collectively providing 290,229 meals for hungry men, women, and children in the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank service area. In the Blue Ridge area, one in ten people struggle with hunger, and many have to make dire choices like paying for housing versus food.
Artistic Pursuits Converge at Lit-Salon In the Spring semester, a monthly reading series called LitSalon was unveiled. Sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Committee, it featured words, images, music, and guest authors. “Lit-Salon is a convergence of many artistic pursuits because creative pursuits feed off each other,” said poet Cynthia Atkins who curated the events. The series kicked off in January with poets Dr. Melanie Almeder and Dan Vera. Almeder is an associate professor of English, 2011 Outstanding Faculty Award winner from SCHEV, and holds a Ph.D. in contemporary novel and narrative theory from the University of Florida, and an M.F.A. in poetry from University of Massachusetts. Her first book of poetry, On Dream Street, won the Editor’s Prize at Tupelo Press. Vera is a writer, editor, and literary historian. He is the author of Speaking Wiri Wiri and The Space Between Our Danger and Delight. February’s guests were Jennifer MacBain-Stephens—author of two full-length poetry collections and eight chapbooks, and Grant Kittrell—served as an editor for The Hollins Critic and a poetry editor at Flock. March saw poet Cathy A. Hankla read from her work. The final session in April brought writers Angela M. Carter and Richard Peabody to campus. Musical accompaniment for all the events was provided by Raymond Hebert, who teaches Music Appreciation at BRCC and directs the Staunton Choral Society.

Rajan Shore Named a Transfer Champion BRCC Transfer Program Coordinator Rajan Shore received the Bonita C. Jacobs Transfer Champion Rising Star Award at the 5th Annual Conference of the National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students in Atlanta in February. Shore, who holds a master’s degree in Counseling and Student Services, is known as a fierce advocate for transfer students. A faculty member wrote in her nomination, “Her visionary commitment has invigorated our whole campus—making college transfer success a chief academic priority.” And another nominator stated, “Under Rajan’s leadership, the needs of transfer students have been elevated on campus. This shift in culture has resulted in greater transfer student retention and success. She has helped create a vision for transfer student success at the College. It is her dedication and expertise that has resulted in the College embracing a model transfer support program.” She coordinates numerous transfer tours to popular fouryear schools such as JMU, Radford, Virginia Tech, and more. She also brings college and university admissions professionals from around the Commonwealth to BRCC twice each year for a College Transfer Fair. In a focused effort toward adult degree earners, Shore brought panelists from EMU, JMU, and MBU to discuss adult degree options available.
Wenger Earns Prestigious Scholarship For the second straight year, a Blue Ridge Community College student has received a national scholarship from the American Association of Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC). Loretta Wenger was awarded a $500 scholarship by the AAWCC, which is “an affiliate council of the American Association of Community Colleges, and a leading national organization that mentors women and encourages them to reach their full potential,” according to a news release. Scholarship recipients were selected based on their noteworthy academic accomplishments, civic engagement, and contributions made in support of women’s issues at their respective community colleges. Wenger is active in PTK and works in the President’s Office as a work-study student.
Chancellor’s Commonwealth Professorship-Robert Oliver Robert Oliver is the recipient of a 2015-2017 Chancellor’s Commonwealth Professorship.

BRCC Named a “2016 Great College to Work For” by Chronicle
In Print: Jason Barr Dr. Jason Barr, an associate professor of English at BRCC, appeared on the radio program With Good Reason to discuss his 2016 book, The Kaiju Film: A Critical History of Cinema’s Biggest Monsters, from McFarland Press. On the program, Barr discussed the ways that kaiju, specifically Godzilla, has changed over time, with an emphasis on how “big monster” films are viewed by Japanese and American cultures. Explaining his interest in the subject matter, Barr said, “I’ve been watching Godzilla films since I was about four or five years old.” A review by “DVD Choices” on Amazon states, “Jason Barr’s lively and fun study (subtitled ‘A critical study of the cinema’s biggest monsters’) is both an enthusiastic celebration of an often despised genre, written with both a fan’s indulgence and a scholar’s hardcore grasp of information.” Barr is also co-editing a book called Kaiju and Pop Culture, which explores the role of the kaiju in pop culture across the world. During International Month, he gave a Cultural Affairs-sponsored lecture on his research and writing.
Blue Ridge Community College is a great college to work for, according to a sur vey by The Chronicle of Higher Education. The results, released by The Chronicle’s ninth annual report on The Academic Workplace (July, 2016), are based on a survey of 281 colleges and universities. Only 93 of the institutions that applied for the program achieved “Great College to Work For” recognition. Results are reported for small, medium, and large institutions, with BRCC included among the medium universities with 3,000 to 9,999 students. BRCC won honors in five categories: Collabor ative Gover nance; Job Satisfaction; Professional/Career Development Programs; Teaching Environment (Faculty Only); and Work/ Life Balance. The College was also named to the Honor Role. “Blue Ridge Community College is a wonderful place to work because the people care about what they do and why they do it. The College serves a compelling need in our community, and employees do all they can to help our students achieve great success. As a result, we have an atmosphere of caring that pervades the institution and enriches the relationships we have as colleagues and friends,” said BRCC President Dr. John Downey.

Blue Ridge Community College earned the 2017 Military Friendly® School designation by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs®, STEM Jobs SM, and Military Spouse. First published in 2009, Military Friendly® Schools is the most comprehensive, powerful resource for veterans today. Each year, the list of Militar y Friendly® Schools is provided to service members and their families, helping them select the best college, university, or trade school to receive the education and training needed to pursue a civilian career. Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from Victory Media’s proprietary survey. “Blue Ridge is dedicated to helping those who’ve ser ved our countr y,” said BRCC President Dr. John Downey. “Our veteran students are such an asset to the College and our community, and we want to do our best to make sure they have the services and support they need to be successful in their higher education experience.” According to Daniel Nichols, a Navy Reserve veteran and Chief Product Officer at Victory Media, “Our ability to apply a clear, consistent standard to the majority of colleges gives veterans a comprehensive view of which schools are striving to provide the best opportunities and conditions for our nation’s student veterans. Military Friendly® helps military families make the best use of the Post-9/11 GI Bill and other federal benefits.”
