College Boasts Record-Breaking Year for Applicants

I

In 2014, more than 50 individuals applied

for certificate-based scholarships – the most in the history of the College of Continuing and Professional Education. CCPE’s Scholarship Night celebration saw dozens of students receive scholarships for programs such as Web Design, Project Management, Social Media Marketing, Gerontology, Meeting & Event Management and Paralegal. Nearly 100 people attended the 3rd annual event which awarded more than $75,000 to adult learners.

“Our purpose is to help those to achieve their goals,” said Barbara Calhoun, dean of the college. “The greatest gift anyone can ever give is the gift of education. It opens the doors to opportunity which paves the way to more opportunities.”

A substantial portion of the funding distributed was a direct result of the 2013 award-winning Casino Night Scholarship Fundraiser. The event raised nearly $30,000 for the Barbara S. Calhoun Scholarship Fund.

“These events represent the core of what we do,” Calhoun continued. “We strive to empower others by spreading our mission of lifelong learning.”

One of the beneficiaries, Jana Jenkins, was a proud recipient of a Project Management Scholarship. She said, “I know getting this certification will further my career, opening up opportunities for positions I may not have been qualified for. It will allow me to apply to a wider range of positions and will allow me to be competitive in the job market. Offering scholarships for these types of classes allows seasoned professionals to continue their education and be productive in the workforce.”

Further scholarship information can be found on our website ccpe.kennesaw.edu/scholarships. Applications for 2015 will be posted in April.

At 17, Darrell Vaughan enlisted

in the National Guard. At 48, he retired as a Major in the Army and enrolled in KSU’s Project Management Certificate program. Today, as the owner of the telecommunications consulting firm Schooley Mitchell of Kennesaw, Vaughan said the knowledge he received will be invaluable as he navigates his new journey.

“For the past 14 years, I have been a mission planner for the Army, a job closely related to project management,” Vaughan said. “The project management program has validated my military experiences and helped me apply them to the civilian sector.”

Vaughan learned about the project management course at a Recruit Military Job Fair in Atlanta and was able to take advantage of VA Education Benefits to enroll. The College of Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE) has nearly 30 programs where Post9/11 veterans can apply this funding.

Vaughan said, “KSU is a quality institution. The continuing education staff was incredibly helpful

working with the Veteran’s Administration to coordinate the paperwork I needed to apply my GI Bill benefits.”

With a bachelor’s degree and two master’s degrees under his belt, Vaughan said returning to the classroom felt fairly natural to him. “Career and family commitments did pose a unique challenge this time, though, requiring some inventive scheduling to maintain balance,” he said. “Personally, I was also challenged to re-establish my study habits, and continue to maintain them as I prepare for the (Project Management Professional certification) exam.”

Project integration and control, time and cost management, and communication and quality management are among the skill sets taught in the project management course. Kristy Mobley, CCPE program manager, said, “Our instructors, Pete Schestopol and Francine Warner, have over 50 years of combined experience in national and international project management. Our students benefit from having these pros in the classroom. Furthermore, we are a Project Management Institute Registered Education Provider, so the education our students receive is truly top of the line.”

“The material was challenging, but I learned a lot and was very pleased with the overall experience,” Vaughan said. “Pete and Fran genuinely care about their students and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure they understand the material. They are continuously striving to improve the program.”

As a new business owner, Vaughan said he is focusing on expanding his client base and building his brand.

His company offers a broad range of services, including analysis of existing and future merchant service needs and assessment of best alternatives and implementation of cost-effective solutions.

Vaughan said the course taught him the language of business, something that has been “invaluable.” He added, “I look forward to applying everything I have learned in this course to my new business and clients.”

giving is a way of life. Bernard Osher has more than lived up to it.

In 2006, the Bernard Osher Foundation donated $723.2 million in support of creating small programs in several institutions in the United States that promote lifelong learning.

The businessman and philanthropist started The Bernard Osher Foundation in 1977 which seeks to improve the quality of life through support for higher education and the arts. His efforts led to the formation of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) in 2000. The adult-education program has been so successful that it has funded 118 colleges across the country – including KSU.

Career highlights:

Founding director of World Savings • Became the 2nd largest savings institution in the U.S. • Sold to Wachovia for $24.3 billion in 2006 P urchased the fine art auction house of Butterfield & Butterfield in 1970 • Became the 4th largest auction house in the world • Sold to eBay for $200 million in 1999

Did You Know?

Osher has been fascinated by maps since he was a child and has personally collected more than 10,000 maps.

An avid fly-fisherman, Forbes named Osher the 584th richest man in the world in 2005 and BusinessWeek listed him the 11th most generous philanthropist in 2007. Osher plans to give away his entire fortune, as he has no heirs, and continues to help members of several generations lead more fulfilling lives by his contributions.
