Running Wild With Credit

Most people know why debt management is important:  consumer debt, not counting mortgages, hit 2.46 trillion by June 2007; almost 10 percent of American households owe $9,000 or more on their credit cards; one in every ten Americans owns at least 10 credit cards; almost half of Americans consistently spend more each year than they earn. 

The result - soaring foreclosures, personal bankruptcies and a nasty credit card squeeze that is ruining individual’s credit reports.

U.S. Representative Jim McDermott sounded the alarm in 2004 saying there should be a national red code alert about the swelling debt.

Today, the alarm still sounds.  SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) club members in colleges across the country are responding.  Through SIFE grants awarded by AIG Insurance Co., club members from approximately 200 U.S. colleges met Feb. 3-4 in New York City for the AIG Credit Counseling Challenge in which they learned and discussed ways to help their communities understand this growing, threatening crisis.

James Van Eerden of Stokesdale, Rockingham Community College SIFE club president, was one of those who attended the Challenge.  In January, the RCC club was awarded $867 per year for three years to educate people in our area about credit card debt.  In New York, Van Eerden was given information about debt management, how poor credit affects one’s life, how credit debt leads to poverty, and much more.

Van Eerden, a second year RCC college transfer student who plans to become a lawyer before entering the political arena, wants to use the club’s grant money to educate citizens, making them aware of credit debt and its various pitfalls.  Ultimately, he hopes the information will lead people to solutions and skillful credit management.

“A lot of people don’t understand credit and if you don’t understand it, you can’t avoid the dangers of using it,” said Van Eerden.

In addition to providing workshops, Van Eerden wants RCC SIFE club members to create a PowerPoint presentation concerning credit.  Other plans for raising awareness, educating students and citizens, and finding solutions to this growing problem are being planned.

“Credit is very personal,” said Van Eerden.

However, it’s affects can be widespread.

If you would like more information on SIFE or to become a member, contact Dr. Felix Nyako, SIFE advisor, at nyakof@rockinghamcc.edu.

And look for upcoming workshops concerning debt management sponsored by the RCC SIFE club, whose purpose is to understand the free enterprise system and make a difference in their world.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRESIDENTS’ SCHOLARS PROGRAM

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR UNC-G TRANSFER STUDENTS

2008-2009

We have recently received notice that the University of North Carolina at Greensboro is continuing its scholarship program for transfer students. The Community College Presidents’ Scholars Program has two components: (1) admission to UNCG and scholarship assistance for exceptional students, and (2) admission to UNCG and a waiver of the admissions application fee for other eligible students.

A limited number of students attending Rockingham Community College may be awarded a renewable Community College Presidents’ Scholarship in amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000 for the 2008-2009 academic year.  Applicants must meet the following criteria:

·         Minimum of 30 semester hours completed at the community college; preference given to associate degree recipients.

·         Minimum community college cumulative GPA of 3.0 with completion of associate degree or minimum community college cumulative GPA of 3.5 for students transferring prior to completion of associate degree.

·         Minimum UNCG admissions requirements for transfer students.

·         In the judgment of the President, the student merits the opportunity and has the potential to be academically successful in a transfer setting.

An unlimited number of students transferring to UNCG may be recommended for a waiver of the admissions fee.  The same criteria as required for the scholarship will be applied for the admission fee waiver.  Students should bring their UNCG admission application to the RCC Financial Aid Office to request a Fee Waiver Form.  Waiver Forms must be used by August 1, 2008.

Eligible students who plan to transfer to UNC-G in the fall 2008 and who would like to be considered for the Community College Presidents’ Scholarship should notify the RCC Financial Aid Office by 5 pm, Friday, April 18, 2008.

RCC Students Receive Academic
Excellence Awards

     Out of the approximate 800,000 students enrolled each year in community colleges across the state, a maximum of 116 are honored by the North Carolina Community College System with academic excellence awards.  Others may be honored by their individual institutions.

     This year Rockingham Community College selected Holly Protzek of Reidsville and Alison York of Madison as its recipients of this prestigious statewide award.  The two will be honored in Raleigh on April 16 at an Academic Excellence Awards luncheon.  The luncheon is a means of showcasing community college students’ achievements.

     Both RCC winners are also Student Ambassadors, individuals who not only excel in the classroom, but participate in clubs and organizations, volunteer on and off campus, and fulfill their roles as wives and mothers.

     “Holly and Alison were selected from a group of very worthy nominees by a faculty committee,” said Bob Lowdermilk, vice president of student development at RCC.  “The committee was impressed with how these individuals attained high academic achievements along with other important life obligations.”

     In addition to her work as a student ambassador, York is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and Sigma Kappa Delta honor societies, tutors math and physics, tutors in elementary and middle schools, and has volunteered to teach Spanish to elementary school students.

     Protzek serves a club president of the nursing class of 2008, is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and Sigma Kappa Delta honor societies, tutors anatomy and physiology, and assists her classmates with math specifically related to nursing.

     Students must have a minimum 3.25 grade point average to be nominated for the Academic Excellence award.  Protzek and York far exceed this minimum.

     “Their achievements are indicative of the high ideals toward which we hope all students will strive,” said Lowdermilk.

Keith Sigmon and Lee Dishmon entertained a packed house with their version of songs by James Taylor and John Gorka. Hubert Lawson and the Bluegrass Country Boys (left) tear into a fast-paced set. Lee Lawson, (seond from left) is a student in the machinist program at RCC.

Homemade Music Packs the House!

            “We didn’t have to turn anybody away, but it was a near thing,” quipped Lee Dodson, advisor to the Musicians’ Guild and organizer of their annual benefit concert, Homemade Music.

            More than 260 people packed the RCC auditorium on Feb. 29 to take part in a fund-raising activity for the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. At the intermission, HFH representatives announced that they had collected $1460 to support the work of their organization.

            The crowd enthusiastically welcomed back their favorite acts from previous years for this special, tenth-anniversary concert. Guest MC Leon Griffith encouraged the audience to greet each act with a “big whoop and howdy!” Doc Moser of Affordable Sound patiently ran the sound board and sorted out the glitches that can occur when many bands are sharing equipment and trying to get started quickly.

            Keith Sigmon and Lee Dishmon started things off with some lively covers of familiar tunes by James Taylor and John Gorka. Their combination of melodic harmonica accompaniment (Sigmon) with finger-style guitar and vocals (Dishmon) has been featured at a number of Homemade Music concerts.

They were followed on stage by two members of Wood & Steel, a bluegrass band that has played at the last several concerts. Although two band members could not perform because of a family health emergency, the remaining members of Wood & Steel did themselves proud. Joey Lemons and Ed Dodson showed off their fancy picking on mandolin and guitar respectively, while both demonstrated their fine song-writing abilities.

            After a short intermission, Hubert Lawson and the Bluegrass County Boys turned in a sizzling set of fine bluegrass and old-time country tunes. Hubert’s sons and wife, who form the core of this family band, all showed why the family musical tradition is alive and well in Rockingham County.

            “We usually save the best-looking and the best-sounding group for last,” joked MC Leon Griffith, “but tonight you’ll have to make do with Campus Tradition.” RCC’s own string band, veterans of all ten concerts and all employees or former employees of the college, received a warm welcome from the crowd and introduced a few surprises. Joining the quartet on stage was 15-year-old Jesse Smathers, the son of guitarist Dave Smathers (and the grandson of Harold Smathers, winner of a North Carolina Heritage Award for his music).

            “When we first started doing these concerts, Jesse would sit with his mother and kick his feet,” remembered his proud father. “Now he’s up here playing with the rest of us!”

            Also joining Campus Tradition for two numbers was RCC’s president, Robert Keys. As a member of Triad Harmony Express, Keys has long performed in barbershop quartets. He fit right in to the baritone parts on “Riding Down the Canyon” and “You Are My Sunshine.”

RCC Global Education Builds Connections to Ireland
by Ed Tweedy

It all began back in 1998 when Ed Tweedy gave a lecture from University College Cork in Ireland to one of his classes at RCC using desktop video conferencing over the Internet.   Many connections to Ireland and Northern Ireland over the next decade led to current connections, collaborations, and joint activities between colleges and universities in Ireland and Rockingham Community College.  In 2008 the RCC-to-Ireland connection is growing rapidly, and some exciting things are happening.

Activities with Irish institutions during the last ten years included video conference faculty, staff and student meetings, PowerPoint presentations to Irish conferences, participation in conferences with Irish colleagues, lectures and presentations from RCC to Irish colleges, and lectures from Irish colleges to RCC.   There were a number of visits to educational institutions and businesses by Ed Tweedy on his personal trips to Ireland and Northern Ireland, cultivating contacts, arranging and orchestrating these activities. 

Connections with Irish schools included University College Cork, Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin, University of Ulster (Magee  and Jordanstown campuses), and Tipperary Institute.  Campuses visited also included Limerick Institute of Technology, Limerick College of Further Education, Letterkenny Institute of Technology, Waterford Institute of Technology, and Limavady College of Further Education.

In October, 2006 an RCC Foundation grant partially supported sending Ed Tweedy and another faculty member to Ireland to visit colleges, universities, and businesses, and to cultivate contacts.  Companies visited included Dell Computers and Alcan Packaging.  Colleges visited or contacted included Galway/Mayo Institute (Letterfrack Furniture College and Castlebar campus), University of Limerick, University of Ulster (Coleraine campus), and Newry Institute of Further Education.  Follow-up visits were made by Ed Tweedy in 2007 to GMIT (Castlebar), University of Ulster(Coleraine), Southern Regional College (Newry and Lurgan), and Alcan Packaging (Dublin plant).

As a direct result of the 2006 and 2007 trips, a fine arts instructor from Newry Institute (now part of Southern Regional College) with an interest in art and furniture visited RCC in the spring of 2007.  Then, in the fall of 2007, a team of four staff members from Southern Regional College (Newry, Lurgan, Banbridge, and Armagh campuses) visited RCC to look at fine arts, student services, woodworking, and childcare.    SRC has openly invited RCC faculty and staff to visit their campuses in Northern Ireland.  Hopes are to send two RCC staff/faculty to Southern Regional College for a visit in 2008-2009, and RCC Foundation funding is being sought to assist with this. 

A second result of the above 2006 trip, and a follow-up trip by Ed Tweedy in 2007 is the invitation by Alcan Packaging in Dublin to host two Business Technologies students for a two-month summer visit (internship) in 2008.  Airfare and some other expenses are being funded with an RCC Foundation grant, and housing is being provided by the host company in Ireland.  Due to increased costs and other financial factors, only one student is being sent this first year.  Additional funding is being sought for next year to more fully cover student expenses and possibly support two students going to Ireland for two months.  A student has been identified for the summer of 2008 and final interviews and approvals are now in process with Alcan, Dublin.

A third result of the 2006 visit and follow-up visits by Ed Tweedy is the visit to the RCC campus by two University of Ulster graduate students in the summer of 2008.   These students will be on our campus during June and July and will be assisting our teaching staff and learning about the Community College system and other educational systems in America.  We plan for them to also visit other colleges, 12-month public schools, and community organizations while here.   They will be provided housing by volunteers in our campus community and RCC and local people will help with coordinating and providing transportation; other costs will be borne by the Irish visitors and their colleges.  Currently six finalists are being interviewed to select the two UU students who will come to RCC.

There are many interests.  The woodworking people at Letterfrack Furniture College (GMIT) and woodworking people at Lurgan (campus of SRC) already have partnerships and would like RCC to join with them.  The Business and Technologies department and Nursing department at the Castlebar campus of GMIT want partnerships.  Many departments, including fine arts and student services and business, want activities and exchanges with Rockingham Community College.  Hopefully, RCC faculty and staff will be able to act on and get funding for some of the opportunities.   

Several video conferences have been held this year with both Galway/Mayo Institute and Southern Regional College, including lectures both ways across the Atlantic, as well as some meetings between classes.  We are planning additional lectures and meetings between RCC and colleges in Ireland for this spring and summer.   Video conferencing is a good way to do low-cost planning for and implementation of exchange ideas without incurring excessive travel costs.  All faculty and staff are encouraged to make use of RCC’s new video conferencing equipment  to bring the world to their classrooms.  (Contact Ed Tweedy or Charlotte Meeks for more information on video conferencing.)

As you can see from the above, many opportunities exist for partnerships and activities with Irish colleges and businesses.   Ireland is a good place for RCC to start the journey in global education exchanges.  While it offers a chance to view an example of European educational systems, international businesses in a booming economy, an old and interesting heritage, and traditions different from our own, its western European culture, English language, and friendly people make it less threatening than some more different places.  Ireland is a good starting point for connections to the rest of the world.

Faculty and staff at RCC are encouraged to participate in the following ways:
- Working with Irish students who will visit the RCC campus in the summer of 2008
- Helping with housing and transportation for Irish visitors to our campus this summer
- Exchange meetings with Irish college faculty and staff through video conferencing
- Encouraging  joint classroom activities through video conferencing and other methods
- Developing travel and study abroad experiences and exchanges for faculty and students
- Promoting collaborative activities with institutions in Ireland and around the world
- Using video conferencing and other technologies to bring the world to our classrooms

Any faculty and staff interested in being part of our RCC-to-Ireland connection or developing connections to the rest of the world should contact Ed Tweedy for further information and assistance.   The last decade of connections has been productive, many opportunities exist today, and we must keep our global education initiatives moving in the future as we prepare our students for the 21^st century.

Sweetheart Court 2008

by Adam Cardwell

Thanks to everyone who made the 2008 Sweetheart Court a great addition to this year’s events.  This year’s King and Queen had much to say about the event. Some remarks from the 2008 Queen (Mara Snyder) and King (Jason Shelton). 

Queen Mara Snyder stated, “It is truly an honor to be the 2008 Sweetheart Queen.  Since enrolling here at RCC, I have had the opportunity to make new friends and get a job working on campus at Subway. I do hope that the sweetheart court will become a tradition so that I will have the opportunity to pass on the crown and sash to another lucky queen.”   

King Jason Shelton was really honored to be elected. He said, “The whole thing was a fun process.  I really enjoyed getting dressed up and having my beautiful girlfriend as my escort. This was a really neat and cool experience, very different.”

Jason also hopes to see the Sweetheart Court become an annual tradition at RCC.

Retired school personnel find way to give back to community 

    A new scholarship opportunity recently opened up for seniors at the four high schools in Rockingham County.  Due to an endowment by the Rockingham County Retired School Personnel (RCRSP), a scholarship has been established at Rockingham Community College for individuals in the college transfer program.

             RCRSP has been awarding scholarships to high school students since 1982 to attend the college of their choice.  Because they felt RCC is a valuable asset to the community, the group decided to endow their scholarship with the RCC Foundation to establish a scholarship fund which will serve as a lasting memorial to its members.

            According to the scholarship guidelines, recipients must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average, be a full-time student enrolled in the college transfer program with plans to enter the field of education, and demonstrate financial need and a commitment to improving their life through education.

ROCKINGHAM COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Scholarship Application And Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) 2008-2009

Please be reminded that the deadline for submitting RCC Scholarship Applications for the 2008-2009 year is March 15, 2008.

 Students who received “renewable” scholarships in 2007-2008 must complete the 2008-2009 scholarship application and meet the scholarship criteria to receive the award for a second year.

 Students may pick up scholarship applications in the Financial Aid Office in Whitcomb Student Center or may download the application from RCC’s website: www.rockinghamcc.edu

 Many of RCC’s scholarships are need-based.  Students must complete the 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for need-based scholarships.  The 2008-2009 FAFSA is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. 

 Any questions regarding financial aid opportunities should be directed to the Financial Aid Office, extensions 2203, 2319, 2204.

Transcription skills sought in community 

     Employers in the medical office community and current Rockingham Community College students are clamoring for the same thing: individuals with keen transcription skills.

Currently, RCC teaches transcription in its medical office administration associate degree program but the emphasis is relatively minor.  Due to the emerging interest in transcription, the advanced technologies division at the college is considering offering a diploma in medical office transcription.  In addition to providing instruction concerning equipment, means of data retrieval, medical terminology, and transcription skills, the curriculum have a small business component – how to write a business plan, how to market, how to make cold calls, etc.  This will enable graduates to become employed in one of two ways:  secure a job in an existing business or starting a home-based transcription business. 

A successful transcriptionist must type 60-70 words per minute, be attentive to detail, work well under pressure, and excel at spelling.  The job outlook is good.  Earnings can go as high as $40,000, especially if one is self-employed and motivated. 

And, of course, once transcription skills are learned, they can be employed in other businesses besides the medical field.

Speaker Motivated to Create Success

Odell Bizzell II is 23.  From age 15-18, he and a friend operated JO Candy Corp., selling candy at a net profit of $2,000/month.  At 19 he purchased a barbershop in Greensboro.  At 22 he graduated from NC State University.  Now, he is the author of “Barely Out of College, Barely Out of Wealth,” and a partner in Young Mogul Enterprises, the exclusive marketing arm of the total wellness program, Your Promised Land.  Part of his work includes motivational speaking.

On Feb. 20, in a lecture open to the public and in celebration of Black History Month, Bizzell discussed getting what you want out of life.  For an hour he talked to the group gathered in Whitcomb Student Center.

But first, he said, you must have a worthy goal.

“Worthy goals,” he said, “stretch us to make us bigger and better people.  If you have a worthy goal, you will become worthy by achieving it.”

Next, realize college is a vehicle to get you where you want to be.

“School is a model for achievement.  Your goal is to earn a degree.  You prepare for this by attending class, learning the material and finally graduating.”

Finally, start your future today.

“Think about what worthy goal you want to accomplish.  Network.  Finish what you start.  And get mentors.”

Bizzell emphasized that failure is part of success, pointing out his own loss of $20,000 in one day.

“On average,” he said, “people who succeed go through about 17 failures before they finally succeed.  Everything you need to succeed is right in front of you.  You just need to take advantage of it.”
