SANTA FE COLLEGE: FIFTY YEARS TO FIRST Santa Fe College was established by the state government in 1965 to offer wide access to quality higher education.

Since then, SF has established programs and services that enable the college to carry out its mission of educational opportunity, responsiveness to the community, economic development and innovation in the public interest. The philosophy of the college during those years has been, and continues to be, one of student centeredness.

Enrollment has grown rapidly. Fewer than 1,000 students enrolled when classes were first offered in September 1966. Today, more than 17,000 students take credit classes and 12,000 more take non-credit classes. Credit classes are offered at the Northwest Campus, Andrews Center in Starke, Blount Center in downtown Gainesville, Davis Center in Archer, Perry Center for Emerging Technologies in Alachua, and Watson Center in Keystone Heights.

The college has expanded its education programs by increasing the number of courses offered by electronic means such as the Internet and live broadcasts to the SF centers. More than 4,000 students take Internet classes through SF Online.

Formerly named Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe College was authorized by the state of Florida in 2009 to offer bachelor’s degrees that meet demand for specific skills needed in the economy. At that time, the college changed its name.

Santa Fe College has had only four presidents. Dr. Joseph W. Fordyce was president from 1965 to 1971, when he was succeeded by Alan J. Robertson.

Dr. Larry W. Tyree was named president in 1990 and was succeeded on January 1, 2002 by Dr. Jackson N. Sasser.

BRIAN SMITH:

From Nuclear Medicine Technologist to Hospital Imaging Director

SANTA FE COLLEGE MAGAZINE – FIFTY YEARS TO FIRST

THE NO. 1 COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE NATION!

“The Santa Fe College name itself puts you ahead of the game,” says Brian Smith, Imaging Director of the 67-bed Lake City Medical Center and its outpatient imaging center, Invision. A 2005 graduate of the Nuclear Medicine Technology A.S. degree program, Smith credits his training at SF with opening the doors that led him into his rapidly advancing career.

His current job enables Smith to combine his skills in nuclear medicine with what he learned while earning a bachelor’s degree in health care management and a Master of Business Administration degree at Saint Leo University.

Originally from Titusville, Smith learned about Santa Fe College while researching health-related training opportunities. He was drawn to the program in Gainesville because of its stellar reputation.

“I always found the health care industry to be interesting and exciting and I realized the program at Santa Fe had a lot of respect in the industry,” he says. “Working as a nuclear medicine technologist appealed to me because of the hands-on interactions you have with people and the important roles you play in diagnosis and patient care.”

A specialty in which radiopharmaceuticals (low-level radioactive materials) are used to diagnose and treat disease, nuclear medicine is different from other kinds of medical imaging.

“An x-ray of a broken bone gives you a picture of the body’s structure in which you see the break,” Smith explains. “In the bone scans that we do in nuclear medicine, we see the physiological processes that occur, such as the new bone cells that grow and rebuild around the break.”

Smith is enthusiastic about the way his A.S. degree program combined classes and real-world clinical experience through partnerships with major area hospitals.

“The program gives you the practical tools to be successful in nuclear medicine beyond what’s expected on entry-level jobs,” he says. “We learned theory in class and then got hands-on experience by rotating through different hospitals and different settings in those hospitals. We had to log the hours we spent in clinical rotations and we had to show proficiency and competency in exams.”

“I couldn’t have been happier,” Smith says when asked about how well he thinks SF prepared him for his career. “I think it was having Santa Fe on my resume that got me interviews, especially at first. I had two interviews and two job offers before I even graduated, and the same was true for most of my class. It was my experience with the program’s clinical affiliates that enabled me to start work ahead of the curve.”

Smith’s first nuclear medicine job was as a full-time staff technologist at Orlando Health (Orlando Regional Medical Center and Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital). In 2006, he moved to Lake City Medical Center where

THE NO. 1 COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE NATION!

he was named lead technologist two years later. In March 2011, he was promoted to head of the imaging department.

As Imaging Director, Smith is responsible for staffing, budgeting, team building, meeting the hospital’s goals for his department and making sure his employees have everything they need to do their jobs well.

“I like that I’m able to learn and grow in my role,” he says, “and the nuclear medicine field is changing in exciting new ways. There’s a shift toward new combinations of imaging and new radiopharmaceuticals are being developed that will help us see things and target treatments in ways that haven’t been possible until now.”

Asked about his mentors—the people who most influenced and inspired him—Smith mentions the long-time director of SF’s Nuclear Medicine Technology program, Stelio Marchionno, and Angela Conti, one of his clinical instructors.

Originally from Titusville, Smith was drawn to the program because of its stellar reputation.

“Stelio was one of the pillars of nuclear medicine education in the country,” Smith remembers. “Looking back, I don’t think we realized how lucky we were to have him as an instructor. He had such a wealth of knowledge and dedication! He’s one of the people who motivated me to succeed.”

Smith checks off a list of good advice that helped him advance.

“When you’re a director, you must listen to you team. Never quit learning about your field. Be open to feedback and be willing to grow. Even though I felt like I was ahead of the curve, I did wonder sometimes if I was doing the right thing. It helped to know that I should be prepared for setbacks and be ready to learn from my mistakes.”

Based on his own experiences, Smith offers the following advice to people considering a career in nuclear medicine technology: “Do your research.

Understand the commitments you are making and take them seriously. Keep your long-term goals in mind. Realize that the friendships you form with your classmates may be lifelong, because you’ll go through a lot together!”

ASPEN INSTITUTE

ANNOUNCES FOUR SF STUDENTS AS 2015 SIEMENS TECHNICAL SCHOLARS

The Aspen Institute and the Siemens Foundation announced the inaugural 2015 Siemens Technical Scholars on Oct. 27, 2015, including four Santa Fe College students. The new partnership between the Siemens Foundation and Aspen aims to help bridge the gap between projected shortages of skilled workers and the millions of high-demand jobs in manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and information technology.

The winners from Santa Fe College’s Cardiovascular Technology program are Victoria Paulsen, Jermaine Gaddis, Florence Contino and Stephanie Moore.

SANTA FE COLLEGE MAGAZINE – FIFTY YEARS TO FIRST

THE NO. 1 COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE NATION!

These exceptional individuals, all current students or recent graduates, are being awarded scholarships of between $3,500 to $10,000.

Overall, jobs in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields are projected to grow at almost double the rate of non-STEM occupations, and a large share of these jobs are in manufacturing and health care industries. Community colleges are a lynchpin to meeting this demand: More than half of all STEM jobs across the United States require no more than an associate’s degree and pay wages that average more than $50,000 annually.

The Aspen Institute’s College Excellence Program (CEP) has been working over the past four years to identify the top community colleges that are doing an outstanding job of providing students with the knowledge, skills, and credentials they need for success. Through a generous grant from the Siemens Foundation, CEP is now working to identify programs that help students achieve success in middle-skill STEM fields and recognize the exceptional scholars pursuing these career goals.

“The shortage of qualified, tech-savvy workers threatens to become a choke point in the growth of businesses and our country’s economic competitiveness,” said David Etzwiler, CEO of Siemens Foundation.

“It’s important to make sure young adults understand the tremendous opportunities available thorough STEM middle-skill jobs. Community colleges are a critical player in that and in ensuring we get the right mix in the talent pipeline.”

Seimens Technical Scholars award winners from left to right: Jermaine Gaddis, Florience Contino, Victoria Paulsen and Stephanie Moore.

The exceptional individuals announced today as Siemens Technical Scholars are being awarded scholarships of between $3,500 and $10,000. They are all current students or recent graduates of middle-skill STEM programs at community colleges named top finalists for the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence.

The biennial $1.1 million Aspen Prize recognizes institutions for outstanding outcomes in four areas: student learning; certificate and degree completion; employment and earnings; and high levels of access and success for minority and low-income students.

“We need to learn more about how our best community colleges achieve strong outcomes for individual students in ways that also fuel strong economies and communities,” said Joshua Wyner, executive director of Aspen CEP and author of What Excellent Community Colleges Do. “The programs attended by these remarkable Scholars deliver first-rate preparation for jobs that employers are clamoring to fill and jobs that are a springboard to better economic opportunity. We all have a vested interest in helping more community colleges emulate this success.”

Health Services Administration

Nursing (R.N. to B.S.N.)

Director: Dr. James Geason C-107, 352-395-5135 Coordinator: Dr. Kezia Awadzi A-007K, 352-395-5335 Advisor: Doug Robertson C-102, 352-395-5139 The Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Services Administration is an online program that prepares students to be a medical or health services manager. As a health services manager, they are responsible for planning, directing, coordinating and supervising the delivery of health care within a hospital, health care facility, agency, or other organization that offers health care and related services. Most students will enter the program after completing an A.S. degree in a health-related area, but provisions have been made for enrollment by students who have completed an associate degree in other areas.

Director: Dr. Lois Ellis W-201, 352-395-5731 Associate Director: Dr. Loree Crain W-266, 352-395-5740 Facilitator: Dr. Teresa Goodman W-263, 352-395-5745 Advisors: Scott Fortner and Mary Thames W-002, 352-395-5650 The Bachelor of Science (R.N. to B.S.N.) Program is a limited access program designed for registered nurses who are graduates of an accredited associate of science in nursing degree program (A.S.N.).

Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about various health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members. Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow 26 percent from 2010 to 2020, faster than the average for all occupations. With this growth, many hospitals and clinics will likely expand requirements for nurses with bachelors’ degrees.

Industrial Biotechnology Academic Director: Eileen Monck PA-102, 352-395-5321 Advisor: Sari Sanborn PA-102, 352-381-3767 Industrial biotechnology uses living cells, such as bacteria and yeast, or enzymes to make bio-based products in industrial sectors such as chemicals, food, detergents, textiles and bioenergy (biofuels or biogas).

The Industrial Biotechnology program prepares students for a career in biomanufacturing, quality control, or research and development. In this program, students get extensive, hands-on training in various aspects of genetic modification and assay development, as well as training in the financial, regulatory and organizational skills needed to work in this industrial biotechnology field.

Information Systems Technology Director: Jorge Ibáñez N-229, 352-395-5979 Coordinator/Advisor: Vacant Graduates of this program will be prepared for a career in the growing information technology industry in occupations such as database administration, network and computer systems administration, software development, computer systems analysis and computer programming. An estimated 100 jobs for these professionals will become available each year in Alachua and Bradford counties from 2015-2021, while more than 900 annual job openings will become available in North Central Florida.
