CONTRIBUTED ARTICLED'Youville College

Adults who are interested in returning to college to complete their bachelor’s degree should investigate the ADVANCE Program at D’Youville College.

The ADVANCE Program offers adults the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s in business management in as little as 18 months while attending classes only one night per week (classes are held 6-10 pm), and most students only take one class at a time. This is all without disrupting the student’s personal and professional life.

The ADVANCE Program is designed with the adult learner in mind. Classes are smaller, taught in a seminar format, and only last fi ve weeks. Additional required college credits

can be earned through several alternative methods. Internet Courses, Internships, Challenge/Clep Exams or courses offered other than during evenings are available to students who transfer in fewer credits but still want to complete their degree within a brief period of time.

“Your entire bachelor’s degree can be earned during the evening,” said Dr. Dion Daly, business department chair.

The ADVANCE program emphasizes leadership in the business environment. Because so many companies are undergoing changes, managers must be trained to lead the workforce through periods of disruption.

“Similar to the way business is conducted, our students get the

necessary tools to advance in today’s workforce. Courses are taught by professors with experience in business and management, so students get a unique combination of practical theory and real-life experience in each course. The seminar format also allows adult learners to share their own professional experiences,” said Jackie Milbrand, ADVANCE Program Counselor.

Another example showing that D’Youville has the adult learners needs in mind is students are not required to meet once a week in study groups.

“It’s diffi cult to be away from home a second night of the week to meet with a study group” says Dawn, a current ADVANCE Student. “We can still meet as a group when we need to, but

it’s optional, not required like in other programs.”

The tuition cost for the ADVANCE Program is very competitive with other local adult degree completion programs, and fi nancial aid is available for qualifi ed students. Payment options are also available for those looking to fi nance their education.

Adults interested in fi nding out more about this unique leadership-based program should contact the ADVANCE Offi ce at 716-829-8090 or visit D’Youville’s website at www.dyc.edu. Classes begin in January.

BY MALLORY DIEFENBACH

It’s been four years since I fi rst entered St. Bonaventure University. It’s mind boggling considering it didn’t feel that long ago when I fi rst entered college, just a scared freshman terrifi ed if I was going to fi t in and whether I would be able to make it in this whole new world.

Ever since I could remember, I’ve been told college would be much more diffi cult then high school. However, this wasn’t as worrisome to me as making friends and becoming involved in a larger community. The friends I had made back at home were taking their own separate paths. I was doing the same.While I was no longer the shy child I was back

in middle school, I never had a need to go outside of my comfort bubble to make new friends because my old ones were always within reach. This was not the case anymore, however.The thought scared me.The fi rst day of classes was rather slow. Professors went over their syllabus. It would be a ritual repeated again and again each

semester for the next four years. They carefully explained what would be expected in their classes, and where to get help if it was needed. It got boring by the third class of hearing the same mantra repeated.One of the classes I was required to take was University Forum. It was a required course for all freshmen. They separated us by majors, so we could be with peers who were pursuing the same or similar degree as ourselves. The class was a one-credit course focusing

around teaching us how to study and forcing us to go to “passport events,” which showed us different things which Bonaventure had to offer. Such passport events included the Club Fair, which advertised the clubs on campus. There was also another one where students had to sit in a talk by an author of a book we had to read over the summer. There was some I enjoyed, others I didn’t. It got me out of my room, though. It allowed me to talk to people regarding something besides what the weather was doing outside. It was through this class, and through the help of upperclassmen, I was able to fi t into the routine of campus life easily. Thanks to the college making sure I was going to different things that fi rst year, I would make friends who I have kept over my whole college stay here. It wasn’t a terribly hard

transition, going from high school life to college life. Looking back, the transition was easier then the shock of the sheer amount of increased workload from middle school to high school. I knew what to expect.Now I’m going to be joining the working world soon. It will be another major transition and another new chapter in my life. However, I’m not too worried. After all, Bonaventure is helping to prepare me for this too.

CONTRIBUTED ARTICLESUNY Empire State College

This year, SUNY Empire State College graduated its largest class with more than 3,400 graduates. Unlike many other colleges, our graduates tend to be older (average age 36) and are more likely to have been holding down demanding jobs, raising families and participating in community activities while they learned.

That’s because Empire State

College was designed for motivated learners. You can study independently, either through one-to-one studies with a faculty mentor at one of our 35 New York state locations, online, or a combination of both. You also may take study groups with your peers or cross register at another college. At Empire State College, the best way to learn is determined by you.

You will be guided by your assigned SUNY faculty mentor who will

assist you in designing a degree program that fi ts your needs, identifying your prior college-level learning, and helping you to plan how to fulfi ll the academic requirements you will need in order to complete your degree. With your mentor’s help, you will tailor a degree program that meets your needs and aspirations.

Empire State College also provides college degrees for our active and returning men and women of the military. In 2012, nearly 200 military men and women earned degrees to help them advance in their military careers or transition to civilian jobs. The college’s Offi ce of Military and Veteran Education employs specialists, often former military themselves, to help our active and returning service members plan a degree program that is rigorous, yet which they can complete during their deployments or stateside.

In more than 40 years, Empire State College has partnered with people like you seeking to advance professionally and personally. Call 888-372-4077 or visit www.esc.edu for more information.

SUCCESS BY DESIGNJCC, FREDONIA PREPARE STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

BY PATRICIA PIHLManaging Editor

JCC

Even before students decide on a school for their secondary education, area colleges have their success in their sights.

The motto of Jamestown Community College, “Caring, Challenging and Connecting,” is more than just a slogan, as the school and its offi cials strive to give students the tools they will need to ensure their success during their fi rst year and throughout their college experience and beyond.

Eileen Goodling, vice president and dean of student development at Jamestown Community College characterizes the preparation as “an organized and meaningful trajectory” as students are paired with individuals and the resources that will help to ensure a positive college experience.

A large orientation at both the Jamestown and Cattaraugus campuses

before the offi cial start of the semester helps students get to know each other and ultimately make connections and increase their comfort level. “Our goal is to connect them with the organizations, faculty members and get them mixing with each other,” says Goodling.

Starting the Sunday before the start of classes and a day after residence hall students move on to campus, the full-day orientation has both small and large group activities with the objective to break the ice. “Some of it is for them to see our faces and we want to be able to say ‘if you need anything, come talk to me.’ ”

By the end of the day, students have made important connections with new friends and faculty, to get them started on the pathway to success.

Once classes begin, an extended, fi ve-week orientation begins called the student success seminar, intended to give students the skills necessary to be more

successful in college. Some of the topics covered include campus life, the importance of being involved in clubs, organizations or student government. Other areas may include how to use the reference library, or the on-line learning sources, or what they may expect from the health center or career counseling.

Students are always expected to think about their goals, even if those goals change says Goodling. “The job of the college is to help the students understand their aptitudes and interests and to move students along the trajectory of their careers or their transfer plans,” says Goodling, “we empower them to be responsible for their own experience.”

Hilbert College has made curricular changes in their business program to create new B.S. degrees in business management to refl ect the current and future needs of what companies and organizations are looking for in the managers. The program, originally geared towards

business administration, now focuses on building management knowledge, skills and competencies critical to meeting the challenges and opportunities of today’s complex and global economy.

The degree places an emphasis on research, quantitative and statistical analysis, information technology, communication and

leadership skills, ethics, global business, and cross-culture management.

Business management students may now take a focus on Global Business Management (GBM) within the program, which provides them with a unique skill set for global business employment. GBM is designed to prepare students with its strong culture and language component, for careers with multinational and domestic corporations, NGOs, and government agencies. Upon graduation, these students are also ready for graduate programs in global trade and business.

Hilbert’s major in Small Business Management (SBM) leads students through this specialized area of the U.S. economy, which creates the majority of new jobs today. The specifi c skill

set and knowledge that is needed to start, organize, and operate a small business is the focus of this business program. Classes in farm management and operations are also available to support the surrounding area’s small farm business dimension.

The Sports Industry Management (SIM) program at Hilbert gives students a strong business foundation, so they may thrive within many different environments. Graduates are prepared to work for large companies like New Era, manage health centers, supervise golf pro-shops, or seek sales and marketing opportunities in various sports-related industries.

In addition to adding these specialized and specifi c management courses at the advanced level, a new fi eldwork requirement for all

Hilbert students, helps to synthesize course work material with

applied skills through experiential learning.

Maybe you’re good with numbers. Maybe you’re more of a “people person.” Or perhaps you like working with technology. But just being drawn to something isn’t the same as having a career path. If you want some guidance turning your passion into your career, Bryant & Stratton College can help.

Bryant & Stratton College provides people just like you with the guidance they need to choose a career path and the help they need to map out a plan to get that career.

Paul Bahr, Director of Bryant & Stratton College’s Western New York campuses, explains it this way: “For some people, it’s really hard to

know what kind of career you want. There may things you’re good at, but the missing piece is how to turn that into a career. It can be very confusing and frustrating. And that’s where we can help.”

Bryant & Stratton College has a Career Services department staffed by experts who can help you decide what career path you are best suited for. They’ll listen to you, work with you, and explain your options.

Bahr goes on to explain, “If you’re good with numbers, then you might want to study accounting. If you’re more of a people person, maybe a healthcare career would suit you best. And if you like technology, there’s a career path for that as well. In fact, we just introduced a new Information

Technology degree program with a focus on Mobile Applications Development.”

In addition to their Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree programs in growing industries like healthcare, business, technology, hospitality and the legal fi eld, Bryant & Stratton College provides their students with a career-focused education and plenty of personal attention and support. If you need help learning the material, they’ll provide it. If you need one-on-one tutoring, they’ll provide that as well. Additionally, they have recruited their faculty by reaching out to experts from the local community, so you know you’ll be learning from highly credentialed professionals who bring their real-world

experience into the classroom. The College will also help you determine what fi nancial aid you may be eligible for, and they’ll even help you set up a class schedule that fi ts your life.

So if you have questions about choosing a career path that’s right for you, there’s no need to struggle with it all on your own.

Allegheny College is the premier college in the country for students with “unusual combinations” of interests, skills and talents.

Over and over again, we hear from leaders in business, government,

medicine and education that the future belongs to individuals who are innovators and big picture thinkers, those who are able to think both analytically and creatively.

It’s this preparation for the global marketplace—and for life—that Allegheny is nationally

known for providing. And as Allegheny prepares to celebrate its bicentennial in 2015, our reputation has never been higher. (U.S. News recently recognized us as an “Up-and-Comer” for “innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty, student life, campus, or facilities.”)

Unusual combinations at Allegheny lead to extraordinary outcomes after Allegheny. More than 90% of our graduates who are looking for jobs are hired

within eight months, and because of the reputation behind an Allegheny degree, our students go on to top graduate schools at twice the national average.

Do you think college should be about expanding your horizons rather than narrowing your interests? Then come see Allegheny for yourself. Tour campus, talk to our students and faculty, and see if Allegheny College is the perfect fi t for you.

CONTRIBUTED ARTICLEGenesee Community College

If you love helping people or working with animals, Genesee Community College has two new degrees to satisfy your interests. Polysomnographic Technology A.A.S. the study of sleep disorders, and in Veterinary Technology A.A.S. are now accepting new students who want a career with excellent job prospects.

Polysomnographic Technology A.A.S. - From sleep apnea to narcolepsy to insomniaóthere are 86 different classifi cations of sleep disorders, and more than 70 million Americans suffer from some aspect of sleeping disease. In fact, sleep disorders have become one of the fastest growing health concerns today. As a Polysomnographic Technology student, you will study the science of sleep disorders in

the fi rst program of its kind in New York State. Polysomnographic technologists (sleep techs) work closely with physicians to diagnose sleep-related problems and provide support services. They usually work in 'sleep clinics' or centers where patients with sleep problems spend one or more nights under intensive clinical observation.

Veterinary Technology A.A.S. - More than 100 million cats and dogs

live with American families making pet care a $30-billion-dollar-a-year industry. These staggering statistics and Genesee's location in a largely agricultural community with extensive livestock make the new Veterinary Technology

A.A.S. degree one of the College's most eagerly anticipated majors. The Veterinary Technology program allows you to work

alongside veterinarians as licensed veterinary technicians (also known as vet techs). Most vet techs work in animal hospitals and clinics, shelters, research labs and zoos. As a vet tech student at Genesee, you will have the opportunity to complete three 'externships' or supervised experiences working with animals in a clinical setting.

GCC has seven campus locations with centers in Arcade and Dansville, provides free WiFi service across all campuses, and offers many online courses each semester.

information on how to apply and admission requirements.

The summer before the fall semester, there is an

orientation for freshman, transfers and parents. The two-day orientation brings in fi ve groups of 200. According to Herman, “we get rave

reviews on it and parents love it.” He says it’s also an opportunity for parents to sign up for email and get a weekly report of what’s going

on in campus life.

In June and July, students receive information on residential life, campus rules and regulations, fi nancial aid and student handbook. “They also get their roommate information, so they can begin communicating with that person.” Students are also required to take an online course on drug and alcohol

abuse, he says.

According to Herman, orientation is divided into three components over the course of the fi rst few weeks and semester. During week one, there are both fun and educational activities to help freshmen get acclimated and involved. Often, returning students will help the freshmen class move on to campus.

Week two is comprised of “activities night,” during which student organizations set up tables where students can learn about the 130 student organizations on campus, and sign up for what interests them.

“MAP” Works (Making

Achievement Possible) starts the third week and continues throughout the whole semester, says Herman. MAPS is an extensive survey which allows students to compare their skills in writing, reading comprehension and math with students from the year before.

After getting the results in the fourth week, residential hall staff will reach out to students, who may be in need of assistance. “By the time they come back the second semester, if they haven’t done well, we can intervene.”

In addition, Herman says, “our goal is to have a good second year retention rate. We

have an 85% fi rst to second year retention rate. Once we were rated second in the nation for fi rst to second year retention rates for public comprehensives.”

A representative from Monster.com, a career search site, also speaks to Fredonia freshmen about what they need to make their resume distinctive, whether it’s participating in an internship, studying abroad, or pursuing job shadowing. “So by the end of that session they are encouraged to maintain a good GPA in their freshman year and visit career counseling.”

SUCCESS, CONTINUED FROM PG 5
