TABLE OF CONTENTS
Joe Myers, a clay worker and union president, raised a family of five on less than ten thousand dollars a year. When the union went on strike, he took his youngest daughter with him to walk the picket line. Someone started a fire in a barrel and all gathered around it to keep warm. Joe told his daughter how very proud he was that she chose to go to college and become a nurse. “Nurses will always have jobs,” he told her. That was in 1969, and I was fifteen years old when I walked that picket line with my dad. Today, even healthcare workers experience lay-offs, pay cuts, and loss of benefits. For the past two years, the fragile economy presented challenges that fragmented our society leaving many with feelings of isolation and hopelessness. The recession touched us all in some way. As 2011 approaches, there is a feeling of new beginnings . . . a time of transition and healing . . . time to move beyond surviving to thriving. It is a matter of attitude, taking control of life, and reclaiming your power . . . a matter of choice. Now, more than ever, it is time to Discover More . . . About yourself About where you’ve been and where you’re going About what means the most - and the least About what you can and can’t live without About what you always wanted to do and who you would like to become At Harford Community College, we value lifelong learning as the foundation for a better life. We believe in helping others and support our interconnectedness with one another. In these pages, there is opportunity to reflect upon your hopes, your dreams, and your goals. Thriving begins with self-discovery and the desire to connect with others who share the same experiences. Begin the journey to your future now and Discover More! Kindest regards,

According to a recent article on MSN Careers, the position of Search Engine Optimizer is considered one of four jobs on the cutting edge right now. Search Engine Optimization is considered a sub-set of Search Engine Marketing. Below is a definition of SEO provided by MSN Careers: “Search engine optimizers (SEOs) increase a firm’s web site traffic by improving its search engine page rankings. This is an especially important task in today’s Internet-driven world, where many customers first learn of an organization and its products or services through the Web. Because of a shortage of experts in this relatively new area, many top SEOs receive multiple job offers. SEOs typically supplement their knowledge of how various search engines operate and determine page rankings with strong marketing skills, as well as the ability to communicate effectively and program using HTML. ” Transcript available.

First released in 1982, AutoCAD is now the leading program for computer-aided design throughout the world. It is an essential tool in many industries, including mechanical and civil engineering, architecture, facilities planning and management. More employers use it, and need workers skilled in it, than any other CAD system. The AutoCAD 2009 program takes a step-by-step approach to learning AutoCAD 2009, starting with a few basic tools to let students create and edit a simple drawing, and then gradually introducing more advanced tools. Examples and practice exercises are taken from a variety of the fields where AutoCAD is used.

Medical Office Courses Kimberly A. Hachmann, MS Medical Office Program Specialist Initially drawn to the healthcare setting through her work with pediatric orthopedic patients, Kim Hachmann quickly developed an interest in administration. After graduating from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Kim completed her Master of Science degree in Health Systems Management from Rush University in Chicago, IL. While her early career focused on the areas of marketing, planning, and communications in the acute care setting, she gradually expanded her area of interest to include administrative medical management. This additional specialization in operations management, medical practice management, credentialing, and reimbursement provides her with the broad perspective necessary to navigate the current healthcare market. With more than 15 years of experience in a variety of settings, Kim now enjoys bringing this background and professional knowledge to teaching in post-secondary education. For the past six years, as a community college
faculty member, Kim gained proficiency as a subject matter expert in the areas of Reimbursement Management, Medical Billing, and Coding for Healthcare Services.

This nationally recognized Medical Billing and Coding online training certificate program is designed to prepare students to fill positions for medical coding and billing professionals. Skilled medical billing and coding technicians are in high demand these days! In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in medical tests, treatments, and procedures that will be increasingly scrutinized by health insurance companies, regulators, courts, and consumers. Also, patient information must be entered into computer databases to comply with new Federal legislation requiring the use of electronic patient records. Finally, healthcare facilities are having difficulty attracting qualified workers, mostly because of the lack of both formal training programs and sufficient resources to provide on-the-job training for coders. All of these factors have combined to create a huge potential job market for qualified medical records technicians, and this course will provide you with the skill set and expertise that will make you irresistible to prospective healthcare employers. Upon successful completion of the Medical Billing and Coding course, students will be prepared for an entrylevel position doing medical billing or coding in a medical office setting and will be prepared to sit for the CCA national certification exam.

Meet the Artist Suzi Nonn All my life I have wanted to create something with my hands that others would admire and appreciate. I have tried many mediums, with many failures. To highlight my attempts, let’s consider stained glass (until I accidentally put stitches in my hand), batik (second-degree burns) and let’s not even discuss my drawing and painting attempts. Oh - and my pottery would not hold water! A few years ago, I attended a workshop at a gourd festival and left with a beautiful bowl enhanced with pine needles, and I was hooked. Although there are endless possibilities, I find that I create basically three things: bowls, birdhouses, and jack-o-lanterns. The last few years, I have worked with local 4-H Clubs encouraging gourds as a “learn and earn” project. Our kids either grow their own gourds, or buy dried ones from our local gourd farmer and create functional birdhouses to sell.

As general and president, Ulysses S. Grant has alternately been considered brilliant and terrible. He is certainly one of the most complex figures in U.S. history, but his historical ups and downs tell us more about the subjective nature of history than they do about this particular man. Whether in war or peace, he remained constant to an inner core of values that exalted country, family, and the fair treatment of the underdog. As a warrior he was a pit bull, yet he single-handedly prevented the planned execution of General Robert E. Lee. Grant’s life is certainly worth a second look.

Anti-Semitism, despite its importance, especially in the history of the 20th century, received scant attention from Hollywood. Explore the history of the moviemakers’ approach to this important social issue. Why was anti-Semitism downplayed, even when it was an important part of the storyline about Jewish characters on the screen? How was it confronted head-on, and when? What accounts for a resurgence of interest in anti-Semitism as a film topic in recent years? Looking at clips from a variety of films spanning more that 60 years, participants will engage these questions about the movies, and about the society that produced them. Senior adult and disabled retiree tuition waivers apply.

Ultimate combines the non-stop movement of soccer with the passing skills of football. It is played with a high-tech plastic disc, heavier and sturdier than the recreational discs (e.g. Frisbee™), with which most people are familiar. The object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the opponent’s end zone, yet a player must stop running while in possession of the disc. Each class will include teaching of skills, drills on fundamentals, as well as some game time. Skills included will be throwing backhand, forehand, and overhead; catching with both leading edge and trailing edge, cutting plays, stacks, plus basic defensive techniques. Finer points of the game rules will be introduced in each class. Although Ultimate Frisbee as we know it today was created in the late 1960s, it was recently named the fastest growing team sport in America by the Sporting Goods Manufacturer Association. Find out what makes Ultimate the most exciting, noncontact game around.

Family life is often the center of personal drama, so it is not surprising that many films focus on family stories and family relationships.

Senior Adult Tuition Waiver Maryland residents 60 years of age or older at the time of registration are eligible for a tuition waiver for some noncredit courses. These courses are state-funded and will say “Senior adult and disabled retiree tuition waivers apply” in the course description.

Please note that for all courses there is no out-of-county surcharge for senior adults.
Disabled Retiree Tuition Waiver
Refunds and Withdrawals
Any resident of the State of Maryland who is retired from the workplace by reason of total and permanent disability is eligible for a tuition waiver for some noncredit courses.

• When walking to or from your vehicle, scan the area for suspicious subjects. If something makes you uncomfortable, walk to an area where other people are. • If you are confronted by an armed assailant, the decision to comply or resist is a personal one. Any property you may have is not worth your life. • Keep your keys ready when approaching your vehicle to reduce the time it takes to enter. • When driving at night, keep your doors locked and windows up. • When stopped at a traffic signal, maintain space between you and the vehicle in front of you so you can pull away if necessary. • Trust your intuition.

Shared Lots may be used by all and are designated by a letter (B, C, E, J, and L Lots). Signs are posted at spaces reserved for College employees who use valid parking permits. Spaces without signs are open to students and visitors. There are more than 2,100 open and shared spaces available on the HCC campus. At key times each day, traffic and congestion on campus reach a peak. These times usually coincide with the starting and ending times of classes between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM and between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM. Students planning to arrive for classes at these times should allow at least 20 minutes to locate a parking space and walk to the classroom location. Parking will not always be available adjacent to the classroom location. Students should watch the HCC sign at the corner of Thomas Run Road and Route 22 for traffic and parking information and avoid trying to access the lots indicated as FULL on the sign. To avoid congestion, parking in the T lot or J north lot and walking to the desired location is suggested.

Drug and Alcohol Philosophy Statement Harford Community College is dedicated to maintaining an educational environment in which students may be prepared for an enriched and productive participation in society, and thus enhance the quality of community life. The College is committed to providing a campus that is free of illegal drug use, and drug and alcohol abuse, and in so doing, supports the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989. The Drug Free Schools and Communities Act states that the use of illegal drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and campus members can significantly impede the learning process. The College recognizes drug and alcohol abuse as an illness and a major health problem. The College also recognizes drug and alcohol abuse as a potential safety and security problem. Therefore, the College Life and Wellness Office offers a number of educational programs throughout the year to encourage awareness among students, faculty, and staff about the hazards of drug and alcohol abuse.
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
employment and/or enrollment, criminal and/or civil prosecution. Maryland Law Article 27, Section 461, 463, Rape/Sexual Offenses outlines what constitutes the offense(s) of sexual assault and the criminal penalties. Copies of the statute are available from the College Security Office.

Appropriate College administrators (associate vice president for student development, vice president for student development and institutional effectiveness, and/or vice president for marketing, development and community relations and/or division deans) will also be notified of the incident(s). Precautions will be taken to involve only those persons with concrete knowledge of the incident or with a legitimate need-to-know.

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