Priority Registration and Transfer
Judith Rhoads, Ed.D., President
Happy Fall! The cooler temperatures and the beautiful red, yellow, and gold leaves on the trees around the college remind us that we are already past mid-term of the fall semester. Plus, that means that priority registration
for the spring 2015 semester is underway and students are taking advantage of the opportunity to register for classes early. One of the key elements to student persistence is building a strong academic road map and sticking to
the plan. By registering for classes early, students can get what they need on their Madisonville Advising Plan that
leads to the degree of their dreams. New and transfer students are now eligible to enroll as well and our Enrollment Center has been very busy the last couple of weeks. Students have easy access to on-site placement testing and academic advising so
many of those important questions can be answered early. Our goal is to have every student begin each semester with only the coursework
on their minds, and we have the best student services around to make that happen.
While students are considering their spring semester coursework, many will also be exploring transfer opportunities. Madisonville Community College has Joint Admission agreements with Lindsey Wilson College, Murray State University, and Western Kentucky University.
Students interested in transferring to LWC, MSU, or WKU can sign up for the Joint Admission program and receive some outstanding benefits while still attending MCC, such as waived admission application and transcript fees. In addition, the catalog year is locked in at the
time of program admission and academic advising services ensure students are taking the correct courses.
Starting in January, our Transfer Coordinator, Lori Johnson, will be on the Muhlenberg County Campus once a month to provide assistance
to students interested in transferring to four-year colleges. It is important for students to work closely with transfer advisors to ensure they
are taking the required courses for their intended major and have the information they need to successfully transfer.
Murray State University - Madisonville Regional Campus will be hosting their free transfer day on November 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in
room 101 of the John H. Gray building. Students interested in transferring to Murray State University for the Spring, Summer, or Fall 2015
semesters will have the opportunity to apply for free, receive free transcripts from MCC, plus receive on-site admission and advising assistance along with a transfer credit evaluation.
Another transfer event comes on November 8 when KCTCS and Western Kentucky University sponsor a free, fun-filled, informative day
for students who are interested in transferring to WKU. Participants will receive a tour of WKU’s campus, receive information on the
transfer process, participate in a “tailgating” event with lunch, and receive tickets for the student and one guest to the WKU vs. University
of Texas at El Paso homecoming football game at 3:00 p.m. Students interested in transferring to WKU should register for the event at
wku.transferevent.org. An email with a complete itinerary will be emailed to participating students after registration. A similar event was
sponsored by KCTCS and Murray State University on October 25.
On November 11, representatives from WKU-Owensboro Campus, Kentucky Wesleyan College, and Bethel University will be on MCC’s
North Campus from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the Student Center. Campbellsville University representatives will be visiting on November 20
from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the Student Center.
For more information about MCC’s transfer program or one of the upcoming transfer events, contact Lori Johnson, Transfer Coordinator, at
(270) 824-1827 or [email protected].

The XH (Chi Eta) Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa elected officers in the spring and is working on program activities this fall. They held
orientation meetings and an Induction Ceremony in late September, and are meeting on the first Mondays-Tuesdays-Wednesdays of

through the wooded area at our back; a service project that will operate in November, collecting medical supplies for The Center For
Courageous Kids, which gives medically fragile children camp experiences; an honors-in-action project that will engage members in
discussion of frontiers and the spirit of exploration tied to viewing of video elements; and leadership enhancement activities. The
Madisonville Community College Chapter has been represented at a weekend Advisor's Institute in Florence, KY, September 19-20,
and at the Kentucky Region's Honors Conference that traveled to Jackson, MS on October 16-18. Officers are planning to attend a

The Happy Feet Equals Learning Feet program was created in 2009 by Jerry
Baird, a retired coal miner from Union County, to boost self-esteem and remove barriers to optimal school performance. It has
grown to include 18 counties and four independent school districts. In 2013, the program provided shoes for over 3,000 students
chosen by school principals, teachers, guidance counselors and family resource coordinators.

MCC’s Loman C. Trover Library will be participating in NaNoWriMo
- National Novel Writing Month. It’s a month-long writing challenge
held throughout the month of November. People who participate in
NaNoWriMo are also sometimes referred to as Wrimos, and novels
written during this event are sometimes called NaNo novels. The basic
goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. You can
write your novel in any language. People from all around the world participate in this event every year. In fact, there are over
700,000 people signed up right now! Everyone has a story inside them, just waiting to be let out, and this event is a great time to
discover the story that lives in you.
Interested? Go to www.nanowrimo.org to register and to learn more about National Novel Writing Month. Registration is not required before you start writing, but it is required in order to validate your novel’s word count between November 25 - 30. This is a
free event and there’s no official prize for winning, but if you win, you’ll have bragging rights, the satisfaction of knowing you’ve
completed a major creative work, and the possibility of getting your work published.
Not interested in writing a novel? Short stories, poems, fanfiction, etc. are allowed. For example, a collection of short stories adding
up to 50,000 words, a 50,000 word poem, or a collection of related poems could be submitted. One general rule of thumb, though, is
that you need to be writing fiction.
Don’t have a computer or internet access? No problem. If you don’t have a computer, the Loman C. Trover Library at Madisonville
Community College has computers with internet access. If you have a laptop or mobile device, the library offers Wi-Fi. If you want
to write your novel by hand, you can do that too, and still get the word count validated at the end of November.
MCC’s Loman C. Trover Library hours are Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Friday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. - 2
p.m. For questions, call (270) 824-8677.

KCA/MCC Mine Rescue Team Competes
The Kentucky Coal Academy (KCA)/Madisonville Community College (MCC) mine rescue team
was one of 25 teams that previously won qualifying events to enter the 2014 Nationwide Mine
Rescue Skills Championship held on October 7-8 at the Mining Technology and Training Center
in Ruff Creek, PA.
During the competition, team members participated in a traditional mine rescue contest in which
each team attempts to solve a set of problems and address various mine conditions in a simulated
mine disaster. They are tested on a variety of skills, including smoke exploration, firefighting, first
aid, gas detection, air measurement and knowledge of breathing apparatuses. A written test is also
part of the competition. The training center features a
simulated coal mine inside a 40,000-square-foot
building as well as a burn tunnel and smoke chamber
to give the training and contest a more “real life” feel.
Team members are trained to work in the hazardous conditions that could exist underground following a disaster. Entering the mine, they may encounter fire, dense smoke,
chest-high water or methane gas that can quickly rise or fall to explosive levels. MCC
mine rescue director Danny Knott said, “I very proud of our MCC mine rescue team.
Any miner who will risk his life for another miner is a very special person.”
Muhlenberg Campus Activities
By Betsy Allen, Assistant Professor of English
The Muhlenberg Campus has been busy with student life activities during the first half of the Fall 2014 semester! First, our campus
Relay for Life team has started its annual fundraising. Our goal was set at $500, which we met before the official team kick-off in
October. We will plan more fundraising events at the campus before the Relay date in June 2015.
Next, our Students Investigating Math and Science (SIMS) club has met monthly for different activities. We tested pressure by using
rubber bands to cut a watermelon in half, estimated physics with a Barbie Bungee drop, and continued to raise money for the local
Backpack program. Finally, we have hosted various Brown Bag lunches, with speakers from the community and college. A few of
our talks have been centered around the new Personal Effectiveness Skills initiative that students are seeing in their classes. At these
lunches, our speakers explained how different skills not only help the students in the classroom, but will enhance their success in the
workplace as well.
Coming up in the second half of the semester, we celebrated Halloween with a chili lunch, costume contest, and pumpkin carving
contest. The campus also hosted the community Relay for Life Kick-off event on October 28, and a blood drive on October 29. On
November 21, we will be hosting the annual Math and Spelling Contest for the county’s 3 rd and 5th graders.
HOSA
MCC's Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) club elected new officers on
October 8. HOSA offers students opportunities in leadership, skill development and
community service. Membership is open to students at any time during the fall semester. Faculty advisors are Tonia Gibson and Misty Burton.
The next meeting is Wednesday, November 12 at noon in the Byrnes Auditorium located in the Hatley Building on MCC’s Health Sciences Campus.
Library Hours To Change in 2015
Effective January 1, 2015, Madisonville Community College Libraries will no longer have Saturday hours. The Library has developed and acquired a wide variety of resources which are available to students and faculty 24/7. The alteration in hours will allow
library staff to focus more attention on our online presence beginning in the spring 2015 semester.

Madisonville Community College employees and students participated in the NW Earth Institute’s EcoChallenge during October 1529 to inspire and challenge everyone to change one habit for the planet. Sponsored by the college’s Sustainability Committee, the
EcoChallenge project was in partnership with West Broadway Elementary School to collect 400 pounds of plastic bottle caps and
lids. The caps and lids will then be recycled/repurposed into a bench for their school manufactured by Greentree Plastics in Evansville, IN.
Most all plastic caps and lids were accepted. Examples would be plastic caps/lids from medicine bottles, milk jugs, drink bottles,
detergent bottles, toothpaste tubes, cottage cheese containers, mayo jars, coffee cans, butter containers, etc. Caps and lids that are not
acceptable include metal of any kind, trigger sprayers, fast food drink lids, and soap or lotion pumps.
For additional information about EcoChallenge 2014, visit ecochallenge.org. Being friendlier to the environment one bottle cap at a
time!
Could you survive a month in poverty?
There are currently over 684,000 Kentuckians living in poverty, about 17% of the population. In Hopkins County, around 19.5% live below the poverty level. Many more have incomes above the poverty line, but still qualify to receive different types of public assistance
such as SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, and Pell Grants. And still more take advantage of food
banks, child care assistance, and unemployment insurance. These are some of the students that
Madisonville Community College serves every day in some capacity.
It is sometimes difficult for those of us that have enough to understand the situations that many
of our students and their families experience. Situations like “do I go to class or do I try to get
help with my heating bill?,” and “do I take an elderly family member to the doctor or do I attend a financial aid workshop?” These and so many more are the decisions that our students
face every day.
MCC faculty and staff had the opportunity to experience a little of what it is like during a Poverty Simulation presented by Gateway Community College BACC (Benefits
Access for College Completion) Team on Friday, October 3. During this 2 hour simulation, individuals assumed the role of a low-income person. The simulation was divided into four 15-minute sessions, each representing one week of a month, in which
you must try to provide for yourself and family. Gateway employees that were recently able to experience the Poverty Simulation commented, “It gave a new face to
poverty,” “gained empathy,” “humbling,” and “It’s easy to forget about your education when you have so many other obstacles to overcome.”
The event was hosted by MCC’s Ready to Work program.
MCC is participating in a statewide campaign to help victims of domestic violence. The Kentucky Commission on Women (KCW) Statewide HopeLine Drive
officially launched on October 1 during a news conference in the Capitol Rotunda
with Governor Steve Beshear. Homicide is the second leading cause of death for
women on the job, according to national statistics, but the Kentucky Commission
on Women, Gov. Beshear, Verizon Wireless and state government agencies are
working to change those numbers in Kentucky.
During the KCW Statewide HopeLine Drive, collection boxes will be placed across Kentucky to gather no-longer-used wireless devices and accessories - in any condition from any provider. The devices will be turned into a grant for the WorkSafe Program, a
collaborative project between KCW, Kentucky State Police and the Mary Byron Project to create safer workplaces, both for employees who are living in abusive situations and for their coworkers. The goal of the KCW Statewide HopeLine Drive is to collect 3,500
devices, each one representing an adult or child who spent at least one night at a domestic violence shelter in Kentucky in fiscal year
2013. Locally, HopeLine® from Verizon collection boxes will be available in all MCC’s North Campus buildings, the Hatley Building on MCC’s Health Sciences Campus, and in MCC’s Muhlenberg Campus in Central City. Collection boxes will be available
through November 30.
