President’s Message

A Tradition of Success, Building aFoundation for the Future is the themewhich has been selected to commemoratethe 60th anniversary of CalhounCommunity College. As we excitedlylook forward to a year of celebration ofthis significant milestone, we alsoreflect on our many noteworthyaccomplishments during the past year.Throughout the pages of this AnnualReport, we take a look back at thepeople, programs and activities whichhelped to make 2006 one of the mostsuccessful years in CalhounCommunity College’s 60 year history.

For an unprecedented seventh time, aCalhoun student was recognizedamong the nation’s top two-yearcollege students. In April, Calhounstudent Marty Kellum was honored asone of 20 students named to theprestigious and coveted USA TODAY’s2006 Academic All-USA CommunityCollege First Team. Such an honor notonly demonstrates the quality ofstudents who come through our doorsbut is also a testament to thededication and commitment of ouroutstanding faculty here at Calhoun.

Last fall, classes were held for the firsttime in our beautiful new HealthSciences Center. Hundreds of studentswho have made the decision to pursuecareers in the healthcare field are nowbeing trained in one of the most wellequipped, state-of-the-art facilities inthe southeast. Additionally, ouroutstanding Adult Education programwas recognized by the Governor as thebest in the state, and the end of thestate’s 25-year long higher educationdesegregation case opened the door forthe College to meet student demand fordaytime course offerings at ourHuntsville/Cummings Research Parkcampus.

As has been the case in recent years,the College continues to see increasesin local, state and federal grantfunding. Most notable among thisfunding was an investment by the U.S.Department of Labor in our WorkforceInnovation in Regional EconomicDevelopment (WIRED) initiative. TheCalhoun-led North Alabama/SouthernTennessee WIRED region was awarded$5 million as a Second-GenerationWIRED region. This grant awardmarked the fourth DOL grant awardedto Calhoun in the last two years anddemonstrates the agency’s commitmentto Calhoun and to our community inproviding additional resources toenhance our academic and workforcetraining programs and expand ourefforts toward providing a highlyskilled workforce.

I’m sure you’ll agree that 2006 trulywas among the most notable in our 60years of service to this community. Wethank each of you for your invaluablecontributions during the past year andask for your continued support as weembark on what I know is a brightfuture for this institution.

Calhoun is leading the way inworkforce and economic develop-ment in the state through the creationof several new workforce training ini-tiatives and the retooling of a numberof the College’s career and technologyprograms, which includes the addi-tion of several new programs specifi-cally within the healthcare field. An$11 million investment to the Collegethrough grant funding from the U.S.Department of Labor (DOL) hasallowed Calhoun to develop threeinnovative workforce initiativesgeared toward creating a highlyskilled workforce in several “highgrowth” areas identified by PresidentBush.

Most recently, the College wasawarded a $5 million grant throughDOL’s Second Generation WorkforceInnovation in Regional EconomicDevelopment (WIRED) initiative forthe Calhoun-led NorthAlabama/Southern Tennessee WIREDregion. “This $5 million grant willprovide the resources and strategiesto unify many economic develop-ment efforts currently ongoing in ourregion. The catalyst for this effort isbiotechnology/nanotechnology andinformation technology resulting in ahighly skilled workforce, improvedteaching and learning, and enhancedquality of life,” commented Calhoun

Highlights ofPrograms,Activitiesand Eventsin 2006

CMI Summer Program response exceeded expectations with a total of 62 enrolled.

President Marilyn Beck.“The focus areas for this initiative are

advanced manufacturing, aerospace, agri-culture, healthcare, and automotive man-ufacturing. We realize that the majorstrength of this project lies in the commit-ments of our Alabama and Tennesseepartners: schools, colleges, universities,businesses, industries, governments, andeconomic development agencies. We aremost grateful to Secretary Chao, AssistantSecretary DeRocco and the DOL for theircontinuing support of our region,” addedDr. Beck.

In January 2007, Secretary DeRoccowas the keynote speaker for a regionalworkforce summit hosted by Calhounand sponsored by the NorthAlabama/Southern Tennessee WIRED ini-tiative. Over 300 economic developmentleaders from Alabama and Tennesseeattended the summit, during which anew collaborative initiative focusing onregional workforce development needswas introduced. In addition to SecretaryDeRocco, Dr. Tim Alford, Director of theAlabama Office of Workforce Develop-ment, and Ms. Susan Cowden, Adminis-trator of the Tennessee Employment andWorkforce Development Division, spokeabout state workforce development issuesthat require collaborative solutions need-ed to provide an adequate regional work-force over the next ten years. Mr. JimHudson, President and CEO of the Hud-son Alpha Institute for Biotechnology

(HAIB), discussed the biotechnology fieldas it relates to the region’s workforceneeds, and Dr. Neil Lamb, HAIB Directorof Education and Outreach, shared practi-cal ways that biotechnology enhancesquality of life.

In addition to the WIRED initiative,Calhoun is currently involved in twoother major workforce training projectsfunded through DOL grants. The Centerfor Manufacturing Innovation (CMI) wasestablished through a $3.5 million awardto provide training in advanced manufac-turing processes (specifically MachineTool Technology and Industrial Mainte-nance) through modularized curriculumstructures and flexible delivery options.

Last summer, Calhoun sponsored apilot program through CMI to provideopportunities for students, teachers,incumbent workers, and school coun-selors to learn more about the College’stechnology programs. The programexceeded expectations, with a total of 62students, counselors, teachers andincumbent workers enrolled in three sep-arate programs. The new modularizedcurriculum created through the CMI proj-ect is allowing for multiple entry/exitcareer pathways that accommodateindustry demands and placing high-skilled workers in the workforce at aquicker rate than traditional programs.

A $2.5 million award is funding theCollege’s Project AHEAD (AlternateHealth Education Asynchronous Deliv-ery), created to provide students trainingfor new career opportunities in suchhigh-demand healthcare fields as Nurs-ing, Surgical Technology, Radiography,Clinical Laboratory Technology, and Phle-botomy through the combined strengthsand specialties of other participatingcommunity colleges and educationalinstitutions and the strong support of sev-eral healthcare industry partners. Theinvolvement of these partners is allowingCalhoun to leverage an additional $4.6Min resources through the project. “Thequality of our workforce is our numberone industrial recruiting tool. With grantssuch as this, we can expand worker train-

ing programs for high growth sectors ofthe job market and increase our ability torecruit new industries,” said AlabamaGovernor Bob Riley. As a result of thiseffort, a new program in Clinical Labora-tory Technology has been developed atCalhoun and the College’s existing healthprograms have been greatly enhanced.

Calhoun’s response to the needs ofthe local workforce is evident throughsuccess stories like student Jim Breeceand Calhoun grad Russell Cosby, bothgiven “second chances” by enrolling intechnology programs at the College.

Russell turned to the Internet to learnmore about Process Technology after themanufacturing plant where he hadworked for 15 years closed. “I was look-ing for a career where I could use myprior experience to support my family,”Russell said. “It looked like my abilitiesmatched well with a process technicianposition, and luckily for me, CalhounCommunity College had just begun theirprogram.” Russell entered the ProcessTechnology program at Calhoun and wasoffered a co-op through Nova Chemical,where he was hired full-time after earn-ing his degree in just 18 months. “I couldnever have made it without the head startmy degree from Calhoun gave me.”

From May 1992 until May 2006, Jimworked in local machine shops. “I feltthat I didn’t need college, although mybrother had graduated from Calhoun andmy sister was always taking some form ofcollege classes. I honestly thought‘school just wasn’t for me’, until, unex-pectedly, my shop shut down and I waslaid off. There I was, 36 years old and notknowing what to do. I applied at areashops with no luck. Luckily, I knewabout Calhoun through my brother andmy boss’ son, who was enrolled in theMachine Tool Technology program. I wasable to get the financial aid I needed sothat I COULD attend college. Thanks topeople like Machine Tool Technologyinstructor Mike Blizzard and Dr. MaryYarbrough, dean for technologies andworkforce development, I was given asecond chance.”

The twowere officially inducted in a specialceremony on January 19 in Mont-gomery and were recognized locally onJanuary 20 during a luncheon in theirhonor at Calhoun’s Decatur campus.During the Calhoun ceremony, Posada’sCalhoun jersey (#6) was officiallyretired.

Posada graduated from Calhounafter being named best hitter in 1990.That same year, he began his profes-sional career by being drafted by theYankees and, in 2000, became the start-ing catcher for the organization, theposition he holds to this day. Posadastill holds several team records at Cal-houn including Most Doubles (21) in aseason – 1990; Most Doubles (33) intwo years – 1990-91; and Most GamesPlayed in two years (90) – 1990-91.

A four-time baseball World Cham-pion, Posada tied Yogi Berra’s record formost home runs by a Yankee catcherand ranked third in the AmericanLeague’s Most Valuable Player selectionin 2003. In 2005, he recorded his1,000th career hit with a seventh inningdouble in Chicago. He and his wife,Laura, are the co-creators of The JorgePosada Foundation, established to sup-port athletic programs for children inNew York and Puerto Rico and also toassist groups that work with childrenwho suffer from craniosynostosis.

Coach Frickie retired in 1995 fromCalhoun, after 28 years as the College’sonly baseball coach up to the date ofhis retirement. His winning record of669 victories ranked him high amongconference coaches and in the top 25 ofthe nation’s two-year baseball coaches.Coach Frickie’s teams posted a winningpercentage of .618. Several of CoachFrickie’s players went on to play in theminor leagues and a number of themwent on to play in the majors includingformer Calhoun baseball coach GaryRedus. While at Calhoun, six of histeams won the Alabama State champi-onship: 1970, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1976and 1993. Additionally, six of his play-ers were honored as All-Americans.

Calhoun President Marilyn Beckmarked her fourth anniversary at the Col-lege last year. In December 2002, she madehistory as the fourth president and firstwoman named to lead the College.

In her first four years at the College’shelm, Dr. Beck has led the institution inunprecedented growth. Student enrollmenttopped the 9000 mark; the Licensed Practi-cal Nursing program, the first NationalLeague for Nursing accredited program inthe state of Alabama, celebrated its 50thanniversary; the largest nursing class in theCollege’s history was admitted in fall 2005;and new degree programs in Process Tech-nology and Networking Technology alongwith certifications in several health-relatedprograms were added to support localemployer demand.

The College embarked on a record $44million in new construction and renovationprojects, which included renovation of theNoble Russell building as well as comple-tion of the College’s “One Stop” Center,allowing students to carry out their entireadmissions, advising and registrationprocess under one roof. Construction of thenew 64,600 square foot, three-story HealthSciences Center wrapped up, and the firstclasses were held in the building during the2006 fall semester. Construction of the newMath and Science building, which will alsohouse all of the College’s administrativeoffices, is projected for completion spring2007.

A record number of public and privategrants have been awarded to Calhoun in thelast four years, which include over $11 mil-lion from the Department of Labor in thelast two years. In 2006 alone, the Collegereceived close to $9 million in grant awards,excluding federal student financial aidfunding which exceeded $11 million, lastyear.

“Commenting on her first four years atthe College, Dr. Beck said, “Much has beenaccomplished at Calhoun in the last fouryears, but none of our accomplishmentscould have been realized without the hardwork, dedication and commitment of what Ifeel is the best faculty and staff body any-where in the country.”

Hundreds of eager students enteredthe doors of Calhoun’s new Health Sci-ences Center for the first time last fall,witnessing one of the southeast’s mostmodern, state-of-the-art health care train-ing facilities. Officially “opening for busi-ness” at the beginning of the 2006 fallsemester, the College’s new Health Sci-ences building represents a perfectblending of traditional academic archi-tecture with the most modern equipmentand appointments. “This building isallowing us to better prepare our stu-dents so that when they go into the work-place there should be an almost seamlesstransition,” commented Jimmy Duke,Natural Sciences/Health division chair.

The 64,600 square foot facility hasbecome home to existing health pro-grams in nursing, dental assisting, emer-gency medical services, and surgicaltechnology as well as new programs inmassage therapy, clinical laboratory tech-nology, phlebotomy, and certified nurs-ing assistant. Among the building’s mostnotable features are a mock hospital andoperating rooms, dental and X-ray labs, amock apartment for simulated rescues,an emergency room area with ambulancebay, and a state-of-the-art 300-seat lec-ture hall.

Just as exciting is the completion ofthe College’s new Math and ScienceBuilding, scheduled for spring 2007.This 84,000 square foot, $21 millionbuilding will house all math and scienceclassrooms, faculty offices and will fea-ture a planetarium, learning center, andseveral modern labs. In addition, admin-istrative offices for the College will movefrom the Wallace Administration Build-ing to the third floor of the new buildingto allow greater interaction among stu-dents, faculty and administration.

Podcasting Meets Classroom Instruction atCalhoun

As they download their favorite songon to their ipods, students attending Cal-houn now have the opportunity to down-load classes from several instructors atthe College. Last year, Podcasting quick-ly grew in popularity as one of the newestand “coolest” instructional options forCalhoun students.

The process for downloading a classworks much the same as one would useto download songs, movie clips or videosfrom the Internet. According to Dr.Theresa Hamilton, Calhoun’s Dean forInstruction and Student Services, the Col-lege currently has courses “captured” inBiology, History, Calculus, English, Nurs-ing and Computer Science. “While wenow have a limited selection of classesavailable for podcasting, it’s important forour students to know that we have avail-able the technology to capture and offerany class at the college through thismethod,” Hamilton commented. Podcast-ing at Calhoun is accessible using Tegrity,a licensed student achievement systemthat captures, stores and indexes classesat the college so students may replaythem at any time. “This new instructionaloption is all about student access andsuccess. We’re all about responding toour students’ needs,” said Hamilton.

“Podcasting is not designed toreplace a class, but to enhance it. It’s justlike having a tutor in your pocket. If astudent misses a particular class or needsa review of course material, they have theflexibility to re-play all or any portion ofthe class as many times as is needed,”said Jimmy Duke, Calhoun’s coordinatorof Distance Education and division chairfor Natural Sciences and Health. “We’rereally trying to find as many ways as pos-sible to reach our students,” Duke added.

The College’s podcasted classes havegained national and international attentionand have been featured on several web-sites, including Tegrity’s and a websitefrom Germany. And, it seems that Cal-houn students haven’t been the only onesto take advantage of this new course deliv-ery option. Last fall, Dr. Hamilton receivedan email from a student attending collegein Indianapolis who, after needing someadditional help in a math class, discoveredinformation on one of Calhoun’s podcast-ed math classes via the Internet.

Adult Education ProgramHonored as Best in State

The Adult Education program at Cal-houn was honored last fall with the Gover-nor’s Partnership in Progress WorkforceDevelopment Award as the “OutstandingAdult Education Program” for the state ofAlabama during the annual AlabamaWorkforce Development conference. Theaward was presented to Calhoun’s AdultEducation program director, Chris Miller,during the conference’s Awards Luncheon.

The Governor’s Partners in ProgressAwards recognize those who have builtpartnerships within the integrated work-force system. Calhoun’s AE programproactively and aggressively pursues a vari-ety of avenues to reach businesses andindustries to enhance the educationalopportunities for each Alabamianemployed or seeking employment. Overthe past two years, presentations have beenmade to more than 30 companies in theNorth Alabama area showing how adulteducation can benefit the company byupgrading basic skills and throughWorkKeys testing.

Calhoun’s Dual Enrollment (DE) program allows qualified highschool students, primarily juniors and seniors and in some casessophomores, to earn college credit for the work they do in highschool. Calhoun Dual Enrollment students may take their courseson any Calhoun campus; classes are also offered on several highschool campuses throughout the College’s service area.

Last year, classes in chemistry, senior English, U.S. history,precalculus algebra and trigonometry and Spanish were offered inapproximately 35 classrooms on 11 high school campuses. Inaddition, individual students from high schools and homeschoolsthroughout Calhoun’s service area attended classes through theDual Enrollment program on both the Decatur and Huntsville cam-puses. Close to 630 students participated in Calhoun Dual Enroll-ment during the fall semester, alone. Another 600 students areenrolled in Dual Enrollment classes at Calhoun this spring.

An overwhelming response to a student survey at Bob JonesHigh School in Madison resulted in DE classes in World Historynow being offered on the Bob Jones campus. The College has alsoexpanded Dual Enrollment at high school sites to includecareer/technical instruction. Students at the Limestone CountyCareer Technical Center are enrolled in Design Drafting classes thisspring, and the College is working with the Technical Center andthe Decatur City School system to expand Dual Enrollmentcareer/technical classes there for fall 2007.

The success of Calhoun’s program can be seen in stories likeformer Dual Enrollment student Elizabeth Smith. Currently afreshman at the University of Alabama, Elizabeth says that whilestill in high school, “I got a big head start through Calhoun’s DualEnrollment program before going to the University of Alabama(UA).” As a result of the DE classes she took at Calhoun, Elizabethearned 20 hours of credit in core freshman courses, allowing her totake a lighter freshman course load and giving her the opportunityto fully enjoy her first year in college. Additionally, Elizabeth saysthat she was able to easily transfer the hours she earned at Calhounto UA.

Dual Enrollment Program Gives High Schoolers Successful Head Start to College

College Re-establishes Community Education Program

Last summer, Calhoun began offering a number of communityeducation courses through its re-established Department of Contin-uing Education, the first offered since 1992.

According to Continuing Education coordinator Donna Bass,initial course offerings were based on requests from the communityas well as taking a look at the kinds of activities in which peopleare now interested. Courses in ballroom dancing, how to sell itemson eBay, retirement planning, etiquette training for children,upholstery, and digital photography are among the more popularclasses offered. Bass says that she wants to ensure that all studentsin the Community Education classes—whether young or older—gain valuable knowledge as well as have fun. “I don’t want theclasses just to be ‘nice-to-know,” Bass said. “I want them to besomething the students can take home and do something with.”

Since last summer, additional offerings have been added to theschedule. “As a comprehensive community college, offering thesecourses is just another way for Calhoun to respond to the needs ofthe communities we serve,” added Bass.

"While still in high school, I gota big head start before going to

the University of Alabamathrough Calhoun's Dual

Enrollment Program."

Board of Directors

as we ask donors to join us in support-ing Calhoun for a better tomorrow. As ofDecember 31, 2006, over $1 million hadbeen raised for the quiet phase of ourcampaign.

The Foundation Board welcomedseveral new faces to the Boardroom thispast year: Sandra Steele, Don Miller, J.Glynn Tubb and Doug Maund. Eachnew board member joined with zeal andhas already been making significant con-tributions to the organization. We arethankful for the willingness of such indi-viduals to join our team with such self-less devotion.

Though we lost several experiencedand excellent staff members, we werefortunate to have Mrs. Vicki Dukes andMrs. Jennie Walts join our staff in 2006.With their key input, I am confident wewill take your Foundation to the next

level. Terri Bryson continues to serve asan energetic and visionary leader for ourFoundation.

In closing, through the work of ourCalhoun Foundation, we provided finan-cial assistance to over 200 students—many of who may not have been able toattend college without such support.Additionally, the Foundation also gave tosupport instructional initiatives and col-lege activities. For all those who support-ed us in 2006, I say a heartfelt “Thankyou”.

Congratulate yourself on a job well-done and get ready for an even better2007.

Kind regards,Arthur OrrChairman, Calhoun Community CollegeFoundation
