2 / Calhoun Community College
President’s Message
During the last year, Calhoun Community
College continued to thrive. And, the one
thing that remained constant throughout all
of our accomplishments, achievements,
honors and awards was our people. The
students, faculty, staff and communities who
make up the Calhoun family are truly
amazing.
Our students continue to excel at all levels,
our faculty and staff are among the most
committed and dedicated anywhere, and the
communities we are so very fortunate to be a
part of are among the most innovative,
productive and diverse in the nation.
Due to the efforts and support of many, we
have been able to accomplish much and once
again be acknowledged as one of this
country’s premier community colleges.
Evidence of this was our recognition last year
by the national publication, Community
College Week, as one of the country’s Fastest
Growing Community Colleges. Additionally,
the College continues to be recognized as one
of the region’s most successful economic and
workforce development engines as we
support the growth of existing businesses
and remain actively involved in attracting
new industry to our area.
We greatly value our partnerships with such
entities as AIDT, in the on-going development
of the Alabama Robotics Technology Park,
and with our sister institution, Enterprise
State Community College, as we become the
north Alabama site for the Alabama Aviation
Center, and with Athens State University in
development of the new Downtown Fine Arts
Center.
hosted a successful SACS Visiting Team
review. While work continues in our
institutional effectiveness efforts, we were
extremely pleased by the Team’s overall
report and were most fortunate to receive
glowing comments and no recommendations
on our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) topic.
While much of 2011 was indeed a bright star
for the College, we did see our share of
challenges. In early spring, members of the
Calhoun family, as did many across the state
of Alabama, suffered through the devastation
of the April 27th storms. How proud I was of
our students, faculty and staff as we came
together during this time to not only help
one another but to also extend a helping
hand to many of our neighbors. Even though
we were forced to remain closed for almost
two weeks during one of the busiest times of
the year, we came together, re-grouped, and
were able to complete finals and conduct our
2011 graduation ceremonies as originally
scheduled.
How very fortunate I feel to be part of such a
creative, innovative, and dedicated team as
we have here at Calhoun Community College.
Our number one priority remains that of
providing access and ensuring the success of
all of our students, and to that we remain
committed. My sincere gratitude to all who
have and continue to support us in our efforts
to serve the communities and the region we
are so much a part of.
Throughout the year, many hours of
manpower were dedicated to support our reaccreditation by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (SACS). In October, we
Advanced Technology Research and Development Center
Grand Opening Held for RTP’s Phase II
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley, along
with officials from Calhoun, Alabama
Industrial Development Training (AIDT), the
Alabama State Board of Education and the
Alabama Department of Postsecondary
Education, were among the over 400 people
who took part in the official grand opening
and ribbon cutting for the Advanced
Technology Research and Development
Center, Phase II of the Alabama Robotics
Technology Park (RTP), on August 24, 2011.
The RTP’s second phase is a 35,000-squarefoot, $8.3 million building featuring a test
facility for companies currently in the robotics
manufacturing industry. The building is
being used for the research, development
and testing of leading edge robotics used for
military projects, space exploration, and
other applications. The structure has an
appropriate infrastructure to support these
activities with substantial outdoor areas for
testing in a variety of environments.
The building includes four suites for use by
area business and industry to support robotic
research and development. Currently, all four
suites are occupied. The first client to move
into the building was PeopleTec, Inc. Last fall,
Calhoun, in partnership with PeopleTec, Inc.,
was awarded a 5-year, $18,833,652 contract
from the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense
Command (USASMDC) to fund the Adaptive
Robotics Technology for Space, Air and
Missiles (ART-SAM) program. Team funding
for the project’s first year was awarded in the
amount of $2,717,990. Work taking place in
Phase II of the RTP is supporting the ART-SAM
project.
“The ART-SAM program represents a unique
collaboration among government, academia,
and industry to promote a robotics and
unmanned systems testbed environment that
will offer cutting-edge robotics
enhancements in support of the Nation’s
warfighters,” commented Calhoun President
Marilyn Beck.
Other business partners currently located in
Phase II include SAIC, Mesa, and Amtec.

College Hosts Successful SACS On-site Visit
After months of planning and hard work, the
College hosted a successful Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
Visiting Team review last October. Much of
the work in preparation for the review was
coordinated by Calhoun’s SACS Liaison Dr.
Debi Hendershot and the College’s Quality
Enhancement Plan (QEP) Team Chair, Steve
Threlkeld.
As a result of the SACS team’s review, the
College has ongoing work in the area of
institutional effectiveness. The Visiting Team
was extremely complimentary of the QEP
plan, having no recommendations related to
the QEP topic, Academic Reading
Comprehension. According to the QEP
schedule, the five-year plan will officially
kick-off during the 2012 fall semester and
will be headed by Leah Vallely, a member of
the College’s History faculty.

Calhoun Among nation’s Fastest Growing
Community Colleges for 2011
In the November 28, 2011, issue of
Community College Week, Calhoun was the
only Alabama community college with
enrollment over 10,000 included in the list of
the nation’s “Fastest Growing” community
colleges. The analysis was based on data
provided by the U.S. Department of
Education’s annual IPEDS (Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System)
report.
Based on the report, Calhoun was listed as
#20 out of the nation’s top 50 Fastest Growing
public colleges with enrollments of 10,000 or
more. While the overall growth for many of
the colleges surveyed for the report was on
the decline, Calhoun’s enrollment growth for
the considered time period was up 10% or
1129 students (up from 11,005 students for
fall 2009 to 12,134 students for fall 2010).
According to the report, the listings were
based on changes in enrollment from fall
2009 to fall 2010 and only considered
students who were enrolled in courses that
can accrue toward an associate’s degree,
certificate or other formal award. For the
national survey, the enrollment trends at
1,129 of the nation’s two-year institutions
were examined.
“We are pleased to be included among the
list of America’s fastest-growing community
colleges,” commented Calhoun President
Marilyn Beck. “Our sustained enrollment
growth is clear evidence of the hard work of
our faculty and staff and of our efforts to
successfully meet the educational and
training needs of the communities we serve.
The annual enrollment analysis has been
conducted by Community College Week since
2001.
Calhoun Family Comes Together for Tornado Relief Efforts
In the aftermath of the devastating storms
and destruction of April 27th, 2011, the
benevolent spirit and desire to help others
was evident as dozens of Calhoun students,
faculty and staff assisted families, friends,
neighbors and complete strangers in recovery
efforts.
During the almost two weeks the College was
closed due to the extensive power outages
resulting from the storms, members of the
Calhoun family gave unselfishly of their time,
energy, talents, and financial resources to
help those most directly impacted. One of
the most uplifting demonstrations of this
volunteer spirit was shown by members of
the Calhoun baseball team, who spent many
hours in clean-up efforts throughout
Calhoun’s service area.
Calhoun’s Student Affairs Office organized relief
efforts for tornado victims, which was published
in Calhoun’s weekly newsletter, The Bulletin.
Upon returning to school, efforts continued
through a tornado disaster relief drive
organized through the College’s Student
Affairs Office, which collected food, clothing
and financial donations which were then
given to local non-profit agencies working
directly with those suffering the most loss.
Downtown Decatur Fine Arts Center
Construction nearing Completion on Two Calhoun Projects
Construction on two Calhoun facilities is
nearing completion, with classes scheduled
to begin in each soon.
The Downtown Decatur Fine Arts Center, a
partnership among Calhoun, Athens State
University, the City of Decatur, the Morgan
County Commission and the Decatur
Downtown Redevelopment Authority, will
allow students to pursue an associate’s
and/or bachelor’s degree as well as providing
a facility for use by the surrounding
community. Plans are for the Center to
become a venue for cultural events, to serve
as a catalyst for economic development of the
downtown Decatur area, and to help promote
opportunities for creative expression for
residents of the region.
Funded through a $3.47M, U.S. Department
of Labor grant, the goal of the ACECET is to
meet regional needs for energy certified
practitioners in the areas of energy
assessment and energy efficient installation.
Calhoun’s award was one of only 55 made
from over 1400 proposals submitted
nationwide and the only award made in the
state Alabama.
“The ACECET project is the first of its kind in
the state of Alabama leading to an industryrecognized certification and will serve as a
national model for community and technical
colleges and workforce training providers,”
said Dr. Debi Hendershot, Calhoun’s Dean for
Planning, Research and Grants.
In December 2010, a groundbreaking
ceremony was held for the facility, located at
the former home of the Bailey-Robinson
building in downtown Decatur. The new fine
arts center is located in the heart of the city’s
historic district, and while it is new
construction, the design complements the
area’s current historic feel. “With construction
of this new fine arts center, we build on the
partnership we have shared for many years
with Athens State University,” commented
Calhoun President Dr. Marilyn Beck.
Construction for the Center is on schedule,
with plans for classes to begin in August
2012. A grand opening event for the building
is planned for early fall.
The new Alabama Center of Excellence in
Clean Energy Technology (ACECET), located on
the College’s Decatur campus, will soon
become home to Calhoun’s Renewable
Energy associate’s degree program.
Calhoun Launches new Website
The URL may be the same, but when you now
go to www.calhoun.edu, you’ll see a fresh,
new look.
Late last year, the College launched a new
version of its award-winning website.
Designed in collaboration with In10sity, a
national interactive agency who counts
among its clients Staples, Coca-Cola, the
Knoxville Zoo and the University of
Tennessee, Calhoun’s re-designed website
allows for easier navigation by its’ visitors.
“Calhoun’s website has always been one of
the most informative and well-designed in
the area, however, we felt that this was the
time to invest in a re-design of the site that
better reflects the dynamic, progressive
institution we have become,” commented
Calhoun President Marilyn Beck.
“I am so excited about the new, sharplydesigned, clean appearance of our website,”
added Beck. “It definitely reflects an
institution on the move. And, what better
time to launch this re-design as we look
forward to our future,” said Beck.
Current and new visitors to the newlydesigned website will find information easier
to access. Information is now organized into
portals which makes the process of
navigation easier and more efficient. For
example, if a prospective student visits the
site for information, they can simply click on
the “Future Students” tab to find everything
needed to get started in the application and
enrollment process.
The re-designed website also incorporates
use of a Content Management System which
allows for quicker updates to the site.
Recognized among the region’s most successful
economic and workforce development engines,
Calhoun continues to play an integral role as our
communities enhance existing business and develop
initiatives to attract new industry. The College prides
itself on building business, industry, governmental
and educational partnerships which help to support
these workforce development initiatives.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMEnT InITIATIVES
Calhoun Partners with Enterprise State as
Site for new Aviation Program
marketable certification,” Clem-Shockney
added. Classes in the program began last fall.
In January, Calhoun entered into a cooperative
initiative with Enterprise State Community
College to open a credit instruction site of the
Alabama Aviation Center (AAC). The program is
designed to enhance the State’s current and
potential economic development opportunities
in aviation and related fields by addressing
inadequate training in aviation in Calhoun’s
service area. The AAC also has sites in
Andalusia, Albertville, Mobile and Ozark.
Machine Tool Program Receives national
Reaccreditation
The decision to add Calhoun’s Decatur campus
as a site for the program was based on input
from local community leaders in the
aerospace/aviation industry, representatives of
area chambers of commerce, and the Governor’s
Office of Workforce Development to meet the
need for aviation training in north Alabama.
“This training will augment ongoing economic
development opportunities in aviation and
related fields in our region,” commented Mary
Scott Hunter, Alabama State Board member
(District VIII). “As the daughter and wife of two
pilots and as a former Air Force officer, I am
excited and proud to support this endeavor.”
“We are extremely excited to have the
opportunity to work closely with Enterprise
President Nancy Chandler and her very qualified
team in this effort,” said Calhoun President
Marilyn Beck.
“The addition of this new aviation program at
Calhoun is a logical enhancement for our
existing Aerospace Technology program,” said
Bethany Clem-Shockney, dean of the Business,
Technologies and Workforce Development
division at Calhoun. “The Alabama Aviation
Center already carries the FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration) certification and by partnering
with Enterprise, this will allow our students to
also work toward this highly-regarded and very
Last spring, the College’s Machine Tool
Technology program received re-accreditation
by the National Institute for Metalworking Skills
(NIMS). According to the NIMS national office,
the re-accreditation is effective through April 6,
2016.
“This re-accreditation is the result of a rigorous
examination determining that your program
meets the quality standards as established by
the National Institute for Metalworking Skills on
behalf of the nation’s precision manufacturing
industry,” commented NIMS Executive Director
Stephen C. Mandes in correspondence to the
College.
NIMS accreditation sends a powerful message
that Calhoun’s program meets national industry
standards. This is an important message to
internal and external customers, the board of
directors, employees, future employees,
customers, and the community at-large.
According to the NIMS website, Calhoun’s
machine tool program is one of only 115
programs across the country to meet the
national benchmark for NIMS accreditation. The
Calhoun program has graduated hundreds of
successful machinists, including 2010 graduate
Joey King, who was selected to represent the
United States in the CNC Milling competition as
part of the 2011 WorldSkills Competition held in
London, England.
SpaceTEC, Calhoun and north Alabama
Aerospace Industry Host Fourth Annual
Aerospace Technician Recognition Event
The 4th Annual Aerospace Technician
Recognition Awards dinner for the North
Alabama region was held April 15, 2011, at the
U.S. Space and Rocket Center’s Davidson Center
for Space Exploration, an appropriate venue for
such an occasion.
“This event is always one of the premier
activities of SpaceTEC and is held each year to
recognize and honor the many significant
contributions of the local aerospace technician
workforce,” commented Dr. Al Koller, principal
investigator and managing director for
SpaceTEC.
The highlight of the event, which attracted over
300 technicians, their employers and families,
local elected officials and representatives of
area educational institutions, was the
recognition of each sponsoring company’s
Aerospace Technician of the Year and the
presentation of the 2011 Regional Aerospace
Technician of the Year Award selected by
representatives from each sponsoring company.
Criminal Justice Program Conducts Career
Day Event
In April, the Criminal Justice program hosted a
very successful Career Day event at the College’s
Huntsville/Cummings Research Park Campus,
which attracted dozens of Calhoun students and
members of the local community.
According to organizers, the Career Day event
afforded high school and college-age students
the opportunity to see, and experience
firsthand, the career choices that are available in
the criminal justice field and to give them
information on the training needed for these
careers.
A number of local, state, and federal law
enforcement and security agencies participated,
including area police and sheriffs’ departments,
district of attorneys’ offices, the Alabama
Department of Forensic Sciences, Alabama
State Troopers, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and the U.S. Secret Service.
HIGHLIGHTS
nursing Graduates Excel on Passage
Rate for Licensure Exam for 3rd
Consecutive Year - First Physical
Therapist Assistant Class Also Exceeds
national Average
For the third consecutive year, graduates of
Calhoun’s nursing programs posted gains on
their National Council of Licensure
Examination (NCLEX). Passage rates for the
2010-2011 graduates of the College’s
Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program
were 90.2%, while graduates of the Practical
Nursing (LPN) program posted an impressive
passage rate of 97.1%.
Calhoun’s scores for its registered nursing
students exceeded the state of Alabama’s
average of 83.7% as well as the national
passage rate of 85.1%. The averages were
based on registered nursing programs at both
2-year and 4-year institutions.
The College’s Licensed Practical Nursing
graduates also exceeded both state and
national averages on their exam. The state
average for this period was 94.2%, while the
national average was 87.0%.
“We are extremely pleased with these latest
scores,” commented Calhoun Health Sciences
division Dean Bret McGill. “We have now
experienced three consecutive years of high
scores, and feel that we are in a sustainable
pattern.”
The first class of graduates from the College’s
Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program
also performed well on their licensure exam.
According to McGill, 18 students graduated
last May from the PTA program. Of that
number, 16 took and passed their licensure
examination on the first attempt, for a
passage rate of 89%, six points above the
national first time passage rate of 83%.
Calhoun IMAV Team Members
College, RTP Host International
Competition
In May, Calhoun and the Alabama Robotics
Technology Park (RTP) hosted the indoor “leg”
of the Spring 2011 International Micro Air
Vehicle (IMAV) competition. This
international event is held in alternating
years in Europe and in the United States.
Nine teams representing the US, Germany,
Canada and the Netherlands participated,
including a team representing Calhoun.
According to competition guidelines, the
student-designed, student-built flying
systems had to meet very stringent standards
to participate. The Calhoun team performed
quite well, winning second place in their
category. For their win, the team took home
a share of the $10,000 in prize money
provided by the Association for Unmanned
Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI).
Calhoun’s API Program Receives Grant
The Alabama Parenthood Initiative (API)
program of Morgan and Limestone Counties
was awarded $100,950 from the Alabama
Department of Child Abuse. The grant was
part of a $2.5M award received from the
Federal Department of Health and Human
Services by the state for its Pathways to
Responsible Fatherhood grant. Calhoun’s API
program partnered with the Department of
Child Abuse Prevention and other state
agencies as a consortium in the grant
application. Pathways to Responsible Fatherhood will
enable Calhoun’s API to provide more services
to reach additional non-custodial parents in
its service area and help ensure the program’s
sustainability. API is part of a statewide
network of public, private, non-profit, and
faith-based organizations working to
enhance the ability of non-custodial parents
to support their children and to have greater
and more constructive involvement in the
their lives.
“We are extremely excited about this
additional funding for our API program”
commented Calhoun President Marilyn Beck.
“Since beginning this program over five years
ago, dozens of parents have successfully
completed training and well over $400,000
has been paid in back child-support. This
program has definitely met the mission for
which it was established.”
HIGHLIGHTS
majoring in nursing, emergency medical
technology, clinical laboratory technology,
physical therapist assistant, and surgical
technology allowing them to gain the skills
needed to meet the ever increasing employer
demand for trained employees in health
fields. And, college data indicates the
majority of our graduates remain in the local
area to work,” McGill added.
EMS and nursing Students Conduct
Mock Emergency Drill
College Awarded $200,000 ARC Grant to
Purchase Patient Simulator
For the second year, students from the
College’s Emergency Medical Services and
Nursing programs conducted a mock
emergency disaster drill to gain real world,
hands-on experience. The mock disaster
simulated a scenario of a large crowd with an
implanted explosive device (similar to the
bombing incident which occurred during the
1996 Olympics in Atlanta). In addition to
Calhoun EMS and Nursing faculty, area fire
and EMS agencies participated with the
students in this exercise.
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)
awarded a $200,000 grant to the College to
purchase a SimMan 3G patient simulator.
According to coordinators of the drill,
approximately 50 simulated casualties
resulted from the mock drill. Patients were
portrayed by Calhoun EMS dual enrollment
students from Bob Jones High School,
Calhoun nursing students, and students from
the College’s anatomy and physiology classes.
“This exercise provided a unique, real-world
learning experience for our students as they
gained useful training working along-side
area rescue professionals,” commented Bret
McGill, Calhoun’s dean for Health Sciences.
The SimMan 3G will allow students in
Calhoun’s Allied Health programs to
experience the latest in hands-on simulation
while incorporating theory taught in the
classroom setting and strengthening clinical
skills. Patient simulators are some of the best
ways for healthcare students to receive
proper training before working with actual
patients. Scenarios may include the moment
of the patient’s injury, patient transport and
treatment simulation. In addition to the
purchase of SimMan 3G, the grant provides
funding for an additional allied health
laboratory assistant to be hired to assist the
300+ students who will use the simulation
equipment each week.
“Calhoun is experiencing unprecedented
enrollment growth in our Allied Health
programs. In fact, there has been a 146%
enrollment increase in the Nursing program
alone between 2000 and 2009,” commented
Bret McGill, Health Sciences division dean.
“The SimMan 3G will be used by students
According to McGill, Calhoun has incorporated
the use of patient simulators in its health
programs for several years. “While we have
made extensive use of these simulators for a
number of years, the SimMan 3G incorporates
the latest and greatest this field has to offer.
Our students and faculty are indeed fortunate
to have the opportunity to include this
technology in our programs,” McGill said.
Dual Enrollment EMT Program
Recognized nationally for Innovation
The League for Innovation in the Community
College recognized the College’s Dual
Enrollment Emergency Medical Technician
(EMT) program as an Innovation of the Year
for 2011. According to information on the
League’s website, the programs selected
represent capstone achievements and the
continuing renewal of the spirit of innovation
and experimentation upon which the League
was founded.
Calhoun piloted the Dual Enrollment EMTBasic program at Sparkman High School in
fall 2009. Following the tremendous success
of that program, EMT-Basic has also been
established at Bob Jones and Grissom high
schools, and has become a model for high
schools across the state. Funding from the
state’s Office of Workforce Development
provides tuition, textbooks, and supply
scholarships for participating students.
The Dual Enrollment EMT-Basic program is
the first in the state and was established to
help meet a growing workforce need in our
area. According to Calhoun EMS-Allied
Health Department Chair Mark Branon, “By
delivering Emergency Medical Technician
education to high school students, individuals
are able to springboard into the workforce or
further expand their medical career options.”
Health Division Conducts Community
Outreach Targeting Youth
Two annual programs coordinated by
Calhoun’s Health Division provide valuable
health-related information to area youth.
In February, the Dental Assisting program
was among programs across the nation
participating in the American Dental
Association (ADA) 2011 Give Kids A Smile®
Day. Students and faculty, with support from
local dentists and area dental hygienists,
provided free examinations (including x-rays,
cleaning, and fluoride treatments) to 75
children through the local Head start
program.
“Our students and faculty were extremely
excited about the opportunity to participate
in this national event and more importantly
to be able to provide free dental care to some
very deserving local children,” said Karen
Chockley, Calhoun’s Dental Assisting program
director. During the week of April 5-8, the Nursing and
Allied Health departments, in partnership
with Decatur General Hospital and for the
first time, Athens-Limestone Hospital, hosted
over 1000 first graders from area public and
private elementary schools for the 11th
annual “Let’s Pretend Hospital”. “Let’s Pretend
is an annual project that provides first graders
with ‘friendly’ and age-appropriate
information about what actually happens
when someone is admitted to the hospital.
The hospital is assembled in the College’s
state-of-the-art Health Sciences building on
the Decatur campus, by nursing and allied
health program students and faculty who
spend hours planning and preparing for the
event. “All the information presented in this
mock hospital setting is done so on a nonthreatening, first grade level,” commented
Health Division Dean Bret McGill.
“This annual project gives our Nursing and
Allied Health departments the chance to
partner with two of our largest nursing
employers, Decatur General and AthensLimestone. It also gives our students
first-hand experiences in developing creative
methods of teaching and represents a great
opportunity for them to provide a community
service to area youth,” McGill added. Over
450 Calhoun students took part in the Let’s
Pretend experience.

STUDEnTS, FACULTY AnD STAFF
English Instructor Featured on the
History Channel
Calhoun English instructor Dr. Randy Cross
had the unique opportunity last year to
appear as one of several commentators on a
History Channel special entitled “You Don’t
Know Dixie”.
The two-hour special, described by producers
as a “positive, celebratory and insightful
program” showcased various aspects of life in
the South that are “little-known, unexpected
and interesting.” A film crew travelled to
Decatur to film Dr. Cross’ segments of the
program, which were used throughout the
show to cover topics ranging from music,
sports and food to religion, politics and
industry in an effort “to uncover how the
South helped make America what it is
today.” The program, seen by millions across the
world, was originally broadcast August 17th
and was re-broadcast several times by the
History Channel. The program is now
available on DVD and can be found by visiting
the History Channel’s website.
