Meet the Harrisburg
campus admission staff
Submitted by: Christina Wood, Interim Director of Recruitment
W
e visit your high schools. We’re in the community. We interact with
hundreds of prospective students and families each month both oncampus and off. In many instances, we are the first line of contact in
the enrollment process and the very faces of HACC. We are your recruitment team.
Meet Elizabeth Stager, Allen Norton, Michael Turi, and Natalie Smith.
They are part of a larger, college-wide recruitment team that not only
works with prospective students in the early stages of the enrollment process,
but also network heavily in our surrounding service areas to bring HACC
information to the general public.
What we do:
•
•
•
•
Work together with faculty and other student affairs staff to develop
targeted recruitment events for academic programs.
Provide HACC information at community events, local businesses, agencies,
and community centers, high schools, churches, and business expos.
Coordinate outreach events such as open houses, information sessions,
career information fairs, partnership days with high schools, and other
special events for the purpose of recruiting students to HACC.
Work with community partners to build strong referral relationships
through events such as guidance counselor breakfasts, community
partnership appreciation events, and by serving on a number of
consortium groups and advisory boards.
The Recruitment team also works closely with our College Pathways Office.
We extend a hearty welcome to new College Pathways coordinator for the
Harrisburg and Virtual campuses, Danielle Martin.This newly re-structured
office seeks to strengthen our relationships with area high schools by offering
dual enrollment programs such as Early Admissions and College in the High
School. These programs allow for students in high school to get a head start on
college by taking college courses in their high schools or on a HACC campus.
The Recruitment and College Pathways offices are located on the 2nd floor of
the Cooper Student Center. Stop by and see us sometime!

SAFETY ESCORT
SERVICE
HACC’s safety and security
department offers safety escort services to
our students and employees. If a person would
like to be escorted by security personnel, the
person can call their campus security office
phone number and request an escort. Upon
receipt of the phone call, a security officer
will be dispatched to the caller’s location. The
security officer will then escort the caller to
the desired on-campus location and a record
will be made in the dispatch log. The service
is available as needed and is free. Safety
escorts are one of several services the safety
and security department provides. Please stop
by any of our campus security offices to learn
about our other services. Thank you!
Interim Director Edwin Dominguez.

A
re you considering incorporating an online component into your
course for Spring 2014, but have not yet become familiar with HACC’s
Learning Management System, Desire2Learn (D2L)? November is a
great time to become acquainted with all that D2L can offer. Now is the time to
get started in preparation for next semester!
With that in mind, this month’s TTS training sessions focus on the basics
of using D2L. In addition, we offer some open workshops where you can bring
your questions and challenges as you work on your course.
You can register for training sessions at:
http://www.hacc.edu/FacultyandStaffDevelopment/index.cfm. Select Harrisburg for sessions conducted at Stabler Hall at the Harrisburg Campus. Select
Virtual for sessions conducted online using Adobe Connect web conferencing.
If you would like to discuss your ideas and develop a strategy for providing
an online component to your class, you may contact TTS staff to schedule a
consultation. TTS provides design and development guidance for your enhanced or blended course.
Want to learn more?
Teaching Technology Services (TTS) is available to help HACC faculty successfully integrate instructional solutions into their learning environments.

HACC Theatre features
‘Frankenstein, The Radio Play’
during a Season of Moral Ambiguity Directed by
R
emember the good old days
of radio—when people had to
use their imaginations—when
the mind was a stage? Those days are
back—only better! Victor Frankenstein
and his friend, Henry Clerval, set out
to create life using corpses stolen from
graveyards. During a raging storm,
Victor is successful but his scientific
experiment has created a misshapen,
inarticulate horror. Infuriated, the
creature sets out on a murdering rampage, prompting Victor and Clerval to
pursue it to the North Pole, to set right
the tragic wrong they have created.
With the aid of the Foley artists and
talented voice actors, you can see—as
well as hear—Mary Shelley’s classic tale
brought to life in this classic radio play!
“Frankenstein” will be performed
for the public on Friday, Nov. 15, and
Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7:30 p.m., with
a matinee on Sunday, Nov. 17, at 2
p.m. Student night performance is
Thursday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m., when
all tickets will be $5 with valid student
ID. All other performance tickets
are $15 for adults and $10 for senior
citizens and students.
