Students Starting Early, and Starting Right: A SPOTLIGHT ON DUAL ENROLLMENT

For more than a decade, Wallace State has provided high school students the opportunity to simultaneously earn high school and college credit though its dual enrollment program. And since 2005, high school juniors and seniors have also had the opportunity to enroll in the Fast Track Academy, which allows dually enrolled students to take all their classes on the Wallace State campus rather than at their high schools.

Nearly 400 dual enrollment students, including 70 in the Fast Track program at Wallace State and nearly 30 in a new Fast Track program at J.B. Pennington, were enrolled at Wallace State in 2013. The success rate for dual enrollment, and especially the Fast Track program, is exceptionally high. One hundred percent of students who entered the Fast Track program last year graduated this year with a high school diploma and some college credit. Some earned enough college credit to simultaneously graduate from Wallace State with an associate degree and from high school, and to transfer to the college or university of their choice as a junior. Moreover, these students disproportionately win scholarships to further their education. Among the highest awards were a $52,000 Trustee Scholarship to Rocky Mountain College in Billings, MT awarded to Yancey York, who transferred as a junior; a $28,000 Golden Excellence Scholarship awarded to Leigh Weaver, who transferred to Samford University with 40 credit hours; a $26,000 scholarship awarded to Kaitlyn Kelley from Toccoa Falls Christian College; and a $16,000 scholarship to UAH for engineering major Kayla Beasley. Chelsie Sloan received national media attention for her scholarship covering flight time costs and other fees from the Ninety-Nines, Inc., an international organization of women pilots founded in the 1929 to promote the advacement of women in aviation.

Why Dual Enrollment?

• Dual credit students have a higher college participation rate than high school graduates overall.

• Dual credit students who go on to college continue to the second year at a higher rate than freshmen who enter college without having earned dual credit.

• Among freshmen who continue to the second year of college, dual credit participants earn a higher first year GPA. • Students who continue to the second year of college accumulate more college credit if they take dual credit in high school.

IN MEMORIAM Former Wallace State President Dr. James C. Bailey dies on Oct. 18. Dr. Bailey served as Wallace State president for 32 years, from 1971-2003, overseeing the College’s initial SACS accreditation and guiding the College to be a leader in the field of health care education, offering more associate degree allied health programs than any other college in the state. Under Bailey’s guidance, the College also implemented successful technical programs and degrees in general studies. The 5,000-seat Tom Drake Coliseum was one of Bailey’s favorite projects and remains one of the top athletic facilities among junior college athletics.

Dr. Ben Johnson, the first president of what would become Wallace State Community College, died on Nov. 7. The State Board of Education appointed Johnson director of the George C. Wallace State Trade School of Cullman County in 1965, a year before the first classes were held at the school. Johnson spent six years as director of the trade school, helping to establish a program of technical education in Cullman County.

The Cosmetology Department received a dramatic makeover with a move to new facilities on campus.

The spa-styled classrooms include hair salon stations for 60 students, an aesthetics room for facials, a manicure/pedicure room, locker room, and a classroom with 3-D video capabilities.

Added value:

GETTING MORE FOR YOUR MONEY Investing in community college offers a higher return than other common investments.

On average, the return on investment for an associate degree is more than three times higher than for stocks or other investments, such as gold, 10-year treasury bonds, T-bills and housing. (Source: Brookings Institute, American Association of Community Colleges)

Joint admission: Enroll at WSCC, be admitted to UAB It might seem value enough that seamless transfer of classes is guaranteed to the state’s four year universities, when the average cost to attend Wallace State is about half what it costs to start at those institutions. But Wallace State continues to look for ways to add value and save students money. Universities want our students because we prepare them well. The new joint admission agreement we have with UAB, the nursing articulation with the University of Alabama, the Poultry Science partnership with Auburn, partnerships with Samford and Embry-Riddle, and so on, recognize the outstanding quality of a Wallace State education. It’s no secret that Wallace State students regularly perform as well or better upon transfer to the university than students who began there.

PAVES: The way to success The PAVES (Partnership for Accelerated Learning through Visualization, Engagement, and Simulation) coaching program is an initiative aimed at keeping students in school, thereby improving their academic and employment outcomes. Incoming freshmen in certain programs are essentially offered, free of charge, a life coach to help them through their first year as a college student. The program is provided through a grant from the Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training grant program. Wallace State leads a consortium that includes Central Alabama Community College and Wallace State-Selma sharing the $9.5 million grant.

The college programs for which the PAVES resources are offered at Wallace State include these advanced manufacturing, allied health programs, transportation and public safety programs: Electronics, Industrial Maintenance, Automotive Manufacturing, Automotive Service Technology, Welding, Machine Tool Technology, Tool and Die, and Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Registered Nurse, LPN, Nursing Aide/ CNA, Pharmacy Tech, Medical Assistant, Dental Hygienist, Dental Assistant, EMT/Paramedic, Radiology (Diagnostic Imaging), Health Information Technology and Medical Coding/Transcriptionist, Diesel Mechanics and Commercial Driver’s License and Criminal Justice.

The goal of one-on-one “success coaching” is to help students balance the demands of college, work and family life. Coaches also help the students develop skills and habits needed for long-term success. In its first term with coaching, Wallace State reported a 5.8 percent increase in the number of students returning in those programs. The long-term goal is for Wallace State to create a self-sustaining coaching center on campus that extends beyond the life of the grant and offers the service to incoming freshmen for many years to come.

“Wallace State meets students where they are on their educational journey and provides them with the learning opportunities and support they need to dream and succeed.� Dr. Vicki Hawsey Karolewics

On Workforce Development: “This is one of the best examples yet in this state of entrepreneurship and innovation, and it means renewal for our economy ... The first example of what I’ve been trying to do came out of here, out of Wallace State in Hanceville.” — Governor Robert Bentley, at announcement of ZeroRPM opening on WSCC campus Wallace State is the region’s one-stop source for workforce development, offering services for business and industry, and for individuals seeking education and training for a competitive job market. In 2013, the Wallace State Continuing Education Department offered more than 100 courses related to workforce developent and short term skills training. Among the most popular programs were Certified Nursing Assistant, Phlebotomy, Commercial Truck Driving, and ServeSafe Certification. More than 200 courses related to lifelong learning/quality of life were also offered.

Wallace State Continuing Education’s Training for Business and

Industry program and the Wallace State ATN Center provide business consulting services, customized employee training, industry certifications, and employee skills assessments. Through Cullman Area Workforce Solutions and the Chamber of Commerce, Wallace State works in partnership with K-12, local economic development agencies, and industries to ensure programming is responsive to industry needs. The high school career coaching program, a Region 2 Workforce Development Council initiative begun at Wallace State, has been adopted statewide.

Meanwhile, the College looks to expand its successful business incubator program that spawned ZeroRPM last year.

“I tell companies all over the world that the best training programs are right here in Alabama. They want well-trained workers. The two-year system is what makes the difference.�

- Governor Robert Bentley
