Consider a Career in the Growing HVAC/R Industry

Begin a Warehousing Career With Forklift Certification

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration technicians and installers is projected to increase 34 percent during the 2010-2020 decade. Harford’s HVAC/R certification prepares students for entry-level positions in the HVAC industry in under 12 months. Many of our hands-on classes take place in simulated work environments so you get the skills and experience you need to attract employers in this growing industry.

Working in Warehousing and Distribution requires the ability to operate a forklift safely and effectively. Forklift certification training with HCC provides classroom instruction and hands-on exercises for individuals with limited forklift experience. The program takes one day to complete and is offered three times during the fall and spring semesters.

Start Import/ Export Business

ONLINE

In today’s economy, an import/export business could be your ideal choice for a small business. A small company can profitably sell abroad what it markets, and goods imported from overseas can be offered for sale in the U.S. for a substantial markup.

Unlike manufacturing or a storefront, an import/export business offers an inexpensive entry into owning your own business. There may even be the advantage of international travel. Students will determine what products to offer, learn where to locate suppliers and outlets for their products and will be introduced to government regulations concerning import/export.

Massage Therapy for Animals Learn the rudimentary skills of massage therapy for animals. When used in combination with a veterinary preventative healthcare program, animal massage provides complementary physical, mental, and emotional benefits. It also facilitates the socialization of abused and/or traumatized pets. This course provides information to the public so that participants may practice massage on their own animals. Those who wish to practice animal massage for compensation must be employed and under the direct supervision of a veterinarian.

Required for all Veterinary Assistant students.

Participants may bring a socialized dog to class for use in the practice of massage. All dogs must be licensed, have current rabies immunization, and be kept on a lead at all times. Please bring a blanket and a water bottle for your dog. Senior and disabled retiree tuition waivers apply. Transcript available.

The Founding Fathers: Alexander Hamilton, Insecure Outsider, Arrogant Aristocrat One historian noted that Alexander Hamilton has no monument in Washington, D.C. But he didn’t need a monument, this man noted.

The United States was his monument and his dream was the American dream. With Hamilton, we have a classic rags-to-riches story, a man who truly made it on his own and became trusted by Washington, hated by Jefferson and John Adams, and killed in a duel with Aaron Burr. He is most remembered because of his death and for an infamous affair which he completely admitted - in print! There is much more to the life of this complex man who created our modern capitalist financial system.

The Founding Fathers: George Washington, American Cincinnatus Called the “Father of his Country” and the one “Indispensable Man” of the American Revolution and early republic, Washington was even more. This session will look at the many Washingtons: the early surveyor, the militia leader during the French and Indian War, the post war politician and planter, the general during the Revolution, and of course, the first American president. It will also examine Washington’s core values.

Like the Roman general Cincinnatus, Washington put down his plow to lead his nation and then put aside power to return to private life. While many assumed he would become America’s George I, he had a very different view of his country’s future - and his own.

GENERAL INTEREST

Benjamin Franklin described John Adams as always an honest man, often a Wise One, but sometimes and in some things, absolutely out of his senses. And so he was. John Adams was a great statesmen and political philosopher. He was a leader in America’s independence movement, and worked mightily abroad in securing foreign loans, a French alliance and a peace treaty with Great Britain. Adams was also a wonderful husband to Abigail who could be just as insecure and thin-skinned as her husband. Together they raised one of America’s truly dysfunctional families.

Adams ended his career as a politician, one who managed to offend and anger just about everyone. As our second president, he was honest, industrious, and ineffective.

His story is entertaining and often enlightening.

Model Railroading: Module Construction A module is a portable section of table-top structure, one part of a large group of like tables, which when assembled form a large and fully operational model railroad. Modules are proving excellent for people with limited home space for a model railroad, yet who also enjoy a large layout. This course discusses module construction standards plus building techniques for table construction, electrical wiring, track laying, and scenery. Students will build their own 4’ x 2’ module (compatible with National Model Railroad Association standards) with the goal of operating a full model railroad by the final night. Course fee covers wood framing materials but not scenery and detailing costs. Prerequisite: Model Railroading or permission of instructor.

Literature Literature and the Inferior Movie

NEW

Everyone knows that the movie versions of books always get a bad rap. The universal notion is that the movie is inferior if it strays from or alters the original storyline (and therefore the integrity of the book itself ). But what can be said about treating movies as a separate story and art-form all their own? Is it possible to depart from the claim that “the book is always better?” By comparing books such as W. Somerset Maugham’s The Painted Veil, Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, and Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibilities with their cinematic counterparts (which either depart from the story line or follow it very closely) we can determine if movies can be seen as their own art form and appreciate them as such.

Known as the Zumba “pool party,” Aqua Zumba gives new meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Splashing, stretching, twisting, even shouting, laughing, hooting, and hollering are often heard during an Aqua Zumba class. Integrating the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua fitness disciplines, Aqua Zumba blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that’s cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief. Aqua Zumba uses mostly Latin music rhythms such as Merengue, Cumbia, Salsa, and Reggaeton, but can also use a variety of upbeat tempos as found in other world music. Because of the resistance of the water, Zumba movements will be slower and adjusted to the water environment; however, the workout can be just as intense. Water shoes are needed for this class.

All students will be assigned a Harford student identification number. The H-ID begins with an H followed by eight randomly assigned numbers. HCC will still need a Social Security number for mandated business functions; however, it will be used on a limited basis and kept in a secure environment.

Because students will need to use the H-ID for College business transactions, students are required to know and remember their H-ID.

If a student owes a debt to the College and does not maintain a current mailing address, that debt will be sent to a collection agency without further notice to the student. In this event, the student will owe an additional collection fee.

Failure to pay at the time of registration will incur a debt to the College that must be paid whether or not you attend the class.

To avoid receiving a bill, please call 443-412-2376 before the class begins in order to process a drop.

HCC provides for the equitable resolution of complaints by students with disabilities alleging a violation of their rights under the American with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Students can begin the informal grievance process by filing a complaint in writing with the Coordinator for Disability and Student Intervention Services (443-412-2132). A formal grievance may be filed in writing at any time with the Director for Human Resources and Employee Development (443-412-2129). An investigation into the complaint will be completed within 30 workdays for an informal grievance and 90 workdays for a formal grievance. For more information, call Disability Support Services at 443-412-2132 or TTY 443-412-2199.

Precautions will be taken to involve only those persons with concrete knowledge of the incident or with a legitimate educational interest. At the request of the victim, Public Safety will arrange for transportation to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center for medical treatment. The hospital is equipped with Maryland State Police Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits.

Victims of sexual assault will be referred to the Sexual Assault/Spousal Abuse Resource Center (SARC) located in Bel Air, Maryland, for counseling services.

Student Intervention and Prevention (SIP) As members of the campus community, students have a shared ethical responsibility to report concerning behaviors they experience or observe. Concerning behaviors include emotional distress, unusual behavior, abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs, thoughts of suicide or homicide, disturbing written material, and other troubling behaviors. If you experience or you know or observe someone who exhibits any of these behaviors, it is your duty to report them on a Report Form for Concerning Behavior, www.harford.edu (Student Life Tab). You may also report the situation to the Associate Vice President for Student Development or designee, Student Center, Room 254.

While HCC does not have a counseling center, the College does have a SIP Team.

SIP Team members are College employees who, through their professional skill set, are capable of providing assistance to the student as necessary. The SIP team may meet with the student in question, assess the situation, provide resources, and/or mandate an assessment. A student who exhibits behavior that is a threat of harm to self or others may be temporarily suspended from HCC on an interim basis pending a disciplinary proceeding or medical evaluation.

Sexual Assault Policy Harford Community College condemns sexual assault and rape. The College is committed to providing a working and learning environment in which all members of the academic community are free from crime and the fear it may elicit. Men and women of the campus community who commit these crimes are subject to severe sanctions through the campus judicial/ disciplinary systems and/or the criminal justice system. Such sanctions include, but are not limited to, suspension from duty and/or enrollment, termination of

After a campus sexual assault has been reported, and upon request of the victim, if feasible, transfer to alternative classes shall be made.

Disciplinary action(s) against employee violators of this policy shall be handled under existing College procedures as outlined in the Harford Community College Board of Trustees Practices and Procedures Manual. Disciplinary action(s) against student violators of this policy will be handled according to existing procedures outlined in the Harford Community College Student Code of Conduct.
