POWER
It’s something we strive for, something that society
places in high regard. Although Harford Community
College recognizes that, we also know that it’s not the
power itself that is important, but the positive things that
can be done with the power. It’s about empowerment.
The Power to . . .
What does Harford empower you to do?
What makes you say, “We’ve Got the Power”?
WE’VE GOT THE POWER!
Message From the President
At Harford Community College, we strive to enrich and expand
lives—giving those who come here the power to achieve their
academic, career and development goals. I am pleased to share
with you the many accomplishments that occurred at Harford
Community College between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012.
One of our most significant achievements is that the Middle
States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) reaffirmed
the accreditation of the College, a process that involves a 10-year
cycle of review. We not only received a commendation from
MSCHE on the quality of the self-study process, but the College
is also in a very select group of institutions with no follow-up
reporting requirements. In addition, we received another kudo—
the College was named as one of five model institutions.
Dr. Dennis Golladay
President, Harford Community College
Harford Community College is growing! During FY12, work
began on the Susquehanna Center renovation and expansion.
The project was completed in FY13 and included the new APG
Federal Credit Union Arena. We greatly appreciate the financial
support of the State and County as well as APGFCU, our naming
partner. In addition, we have begun the design phase for a new
Nursing and Allied Health building. For the first time ever, this
facility will bring together the work of the credit and noncredit
divisions, allowing them to share resources and plan curriculum
to meet the needs of our students.

I participated in the Northeastern Maryland Higher Education
Task Force, designated by the Governor to recommend solutions
to higher education needs in the region. As a result, the Towson
building that has been discussed for years will finally become a
reality. We hope to break ground in spring 2013. The building,
which will be located on the west side of campus, will allow
students access to four-year degrees without the commute to
Towson, saving them time and money.
Our academic programs are strong—the College was recently
named a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information
Assurance 2-Year Education. Our students are performing well
academically and our athletic teams are having winning seasons.
Thank you for your continued support of the College. As you read
this report, I hope you will join me in taking great pride in the very
important work being conducted at Harford each and every day.

Internship Project Attracts National Attention
Anthropology students Morgan Bengel, David Guzman, Cara

selected to participate in “Anthropology By the Wire,” a prestigious,
very selective, paid internship experience where students live
on the Towson University campus for six weeks and learn about
anthropological film making and urban ethnography. They
conducted anthropological research with community agencies
and feature people in Baltimore who are living with AIDS. This
multimedia research project on urban and visual anthropology
in Baltimore was a very important project for Towson and has
generated national attention. The internship was funded by a

Student Magazine Benefits Students and the College
OWL Magazine is written, designed, produced and distributed by
students—a unique selling point to prospective students. While the
newspaper industry is fading, the magazine industry is flourishing.
Graphic designers who previously worked on the newspaper staff
stressed that their professional interest is in magazine design,
not newspaper design. While the magazine showcases student
photography, writing, and design, OWL readership has increased
student involvement on campus and in the greater community, putting
HCC on the cutting edge of college media production.
Field Trips Add to Academic Experience
Cultural Anthropology classes (above) visited the
Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American
Indian for a special tour by a Native American on
the topic of American Indian identity.
Sociology students participated in a field trip
to the Newseum in Washington, D.C. They
visited several exhibits relating to journalism
and contemporary social issues, including one
devoted to issues surrounding 9/11. Students also
participated in a museum-conducted workshop
on media ethics.
In May, several students participated in an
archeological excavation and artifact analysis
at Elk Landing, the site of a bunker during the
War of 1812. The excavation was sponsored
by the State of Maryland Archeology office,
the Archeological Society of Maryland, and
the local Archeological Society of the Northern
Chesapeake. Students participated in both
the dig and the artifact analysis at the Hays–
Heighe House.

“Students love field trips! I encourage them to bring family and

Encouraging the Completion Agenda
Established to increase college completion rates in Maryland, the goal of the Completion Agenda
is to increase the number of people with postsecondary credentials, such as a degree or a certificate.
Working in collaboration with College faculty, administrators, business leaders, local and state
government, and public education teachers and administrators, Harford Community College has
implemented several ways to encourage this agenda and increase a student’s opportunity to
obtain employment or earn a bachelor’s degree in the future.
• Compass Seminar/First Year Experience addresses skills
freshmen need to succeed in college.
• High School One Stop Programs provide easy access to
enrollment.
• Summer Bridge Program for incoming freshmen targets
at-risk students and provides them additional help.
• Articulation Programs with four-year institutions provide
seamless transfer to bachelor’s programs.
• Re-engaging Students by contacting and encouraging those
who only need a few more credits to earn a degree/certificate
• Reverse Transfer allows students who transfer to a four-year
college without first earning their associate degree to transfer
credits back from the four-year college to HCC in order to
earn the associate degree.
• Completion Advisors contact currently enrolled students who
have earned at least 45 credits but not yet graduated, offering
personalized advising to assist them with expeditious degree
or certificate completion.
Between
December 2010
and December
2011, HCC saw
a 27% increase
in the number
of graduates.
HCC instructors challenge students to achieve things they never
thought were possible. They open their minds to new ideas and teach
them to follow their dreams . . . giving them the power to say, “I can.”

plans to move forward with the
new standards by 2014.
MSCHE Reaffirms Accreditation of HCC
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
has reaffirmed the accreditation of the College. The accreditation
process conducted by the Middle States Commission involves a
10-year cycle of review that includes a Self-Study Report prepared
by the institution under review as well as an on-site evaluation
visit by a Commission team.

Student success. It’s the culmination of all we do at Harford.
Comprehensive support services not only enrich our strong
academic programs, but also prepare our students for what
comes next, whether it’s a promotion, a new career, or
transfer to a university. Simply put, we have the power to
build futures.
First Year Experience (FYE) Launched in Spring 2012
First Year Experience is a collaborative College-wide effort to improve student
learning and to promote a successful transition into higher education. The goal is to
help students foster relationships and to become a part of the campus community
by learning skills through mentors, classroom activities, and workshops. FYE
Survival Guides were designed by the Marketing department and distributed to
all students who participated in the FYE one-credit seminar course. Thirty-seven
students successfully completed the FYE course and received a one-credit tuition
reimbursement for helping to pilot the program.

academic advising, disability
support services, and enrollment
services traveled to each site and
offered One-Stop introductory

assessment, a self-directed
learner presentation, academic
advising, course selection,
and OwlNet registration.
The program, designed to offer
students the entire enrollment
process without traveling to
campus, was well received
and participating schools have
already expressed interest in
doing it again next year.

A Commitment to Veterans and Their Families
The College joined 21 community colleges and four-year institutions
in signing the Maryland Campus Contract for Student Veterans to
improve on-campus services for our veterans. Initiatives included:
• Creation of a Veterans Task Force
• Removal of barriers for returning veterans
• Creation of a web page to centralize information for veterans
Harford Community College is a member of Servicemembers
Opportunity Colleges (SOC), a consortium of national higher
education associations with more than 1,900 institutional members
that subscribe to principles designed to provide quality academic
programs to military students and their families. Through use of SOC
agreements, active duty and reserve service members and their family
members are able to lock in a degree plan with a home college and
continue to work on that degree plan after leaving the home school
through completion of pre-approved course equivalents.
HCC is also a supporting member of My Career Advancement

Modern Day Pirates Meet HCC Professor
In August 2011, Wayne Hepler, Associate Professor of Mass
Communications, approached the Board of Trustees requesting a
sabbatical to research radio piracy—both the original pirates of the
Netherlands and UK in the mid-60s, and present-day, covert pirates
in America. By the spring 2012 semester, Hepler and two HCC Mass
Communications students traveled to the Netherlands and the UK,
conducting interviews and videotaping numerous pirates—many in
silhouette to protect their identities. The stories were both poignant
and humorous, documenting life on the high seas and in hiding.
The culmination of Hepler’s research will be presented at a variety
of conferences and competitive film venues next year. The Board
will see a segment of his work in early 2013.

Alternative Spring Break
Instead of taking time out to
relax from their studies, HCC
students put others before
themselves by spending their
spring break serving others.
Through the 2012 Alternative
Spring Break program, HCC
students visited Washington,
D.C. for three days performing
community service projects.
At the nonprofit agency
“Food & Friends,” students
prepared and delivered meals
to individuals in D.C. living
with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and
other life-challenging illnesses.
Additionally, the team worked
at the Armed Forces Retirement
Home in D.C. helping to clean
up the grounds and interacting
with residents.

“. . . Students seemed to really enjoy interacting with the residents of
the Retirement Home and took special pride in the ability to serve
those who have served our country.” Elaine Gisriel, College Life Specialist, Alternative Spring Break Advisor
During FY12, 26 students
enrolled in the Rites of
Passage mentoring program.
The Rites of Passage Mentoring Program
Throughout the year, Rites of Passage sponsored events ranging from documentary screenings, panel
discussions, and exhibits to lectures and visits to area colleges and historic sites. One of the year’s most
well attended events was a documentary screening and discussion called Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes,
which provided an examination of manhood, sexism, violence, and homophobia in hip-hop culture.

THE POWER TO
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
As the needs of the community change, the College must
develop new ways to meet the challenges—major capital
projects, new programs, and ways to operate in a sustainable
fashion—not only for the campus community, but for
Harford County residents, schools, and businesses as well.

WE’VE GOT THE POWER!
Future Plans
Two major capital projects were underway in FY12:
Construction of $4.1M Waste Water Treatment Facility
The new Waste Water Treatment Plant constructed at Harford
Community College dramatically improves the quality of waste
water through the use of natural biological processes. In addition,
the amount of energy needed to operate the plant is much less
when compared to a conventional package plant. This new
system provides for a very low carbon footprint.
Susquehanna Center
The $27M Susquehanna renovation and expansion included a new
auxiliary gym, two new multipurpose rooms, a new dance studio,
a new larger fitness center, athletics offices, a student lounge, and
a completely renovated pool, along with the construction of the
50,000 square foot APG Federal Credit Union Arena.
Planning Ahead
Nursing and Allied Health Building
The design phase has begun for a new Nursing and Allied Health
building. For the first time ever, this facility will bring together
the work of the credit and noncredit divisions allowing them to
share resources and plan curriculum. Work is scheduled to begin
on the new 45,000 square foot building during spring 2013 with
completion by fall 2014.
31
Plant Services Annex Building
The Plant Services Annex will consist of a two-story 12-14,000
square foot building located on the North side of Joppa Hall. The
building will house the Copy Center, Computer and Technology
Services, bulk storage, Housekeeping and office space for several
Plant Services personnel. Work is expected to begin in summer
2013 and be completed within 12 months.
“The Nursing and Allied Health building is being designed with input from all
the stakeholders: students, faculty, staff, and administrators. The intent of the
design is that the building reflects health and wellness. Therefore, there will be
lots of natural light, pleasing textures, and open spaces.” ~ Tina Zimmerman, Professor of Nursing

New Arena Named –
APG Federal Credit Union Arena at Harford Community College
In February 2012, Harford Community College announced APG
Federal Credit Union as the naming rights partner for the new APG
Federal Credit Union Arena at Harford Community College. The
partnership will be for an annual contribution of just over $50,000
per year over 15 years and will fund scholarships for Harford
students, as well as operations and programming in the arena.
Home to HCC’s Fighting Owls men’s and women’s basketball
and women’s volleyball teams, the arena will accommodate up
to 3,200 guests and be used for community and regional events,
commencements, concerts, special events, student services,
fundraising activities, meetings, conferences, and trade shows.
With a shared commitment to education, the partnership is a good
fit for both APGFCU and Harford Community College.

Harford Offsets Carbon Footprint With Photovoltaic Panels
Thanks in large part to J.M.
Huber Corporation, fortyfive 230-watt photovoltaic
panels were installed on
the roof of Aberdeen Hall,
Harford’s Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math center.
Huber Engineered Materials,
a division of J.M. Huber
Corporation, made a five-year
pledge of $50,000 to support
student scholarships, scientific
education, and sustainability
projects, which included $40,000
for the photovoltaic panels.
In recognition of their generous
gift, Chemistry lab #303 in
Aberdeen Hall was named for
J.M. Huber Corporation.
The photovoltaic system will
generate approximately 10,000
watts of electricity and will be
reflected on HCC’s monthly
BGE bill. The College will
retain ownership of the system’s
“Renewable Energy Credits,”
which can be used to help offset
its carbon footprint.

In Memoriam
Ann B. Ramsay
Ann B. Ramsay, educator, principal, and administrator for the
Harford County Public School system, passed away in February from
complications resulting from an automobile accident. Those who
worked with her over the years knew of her passion for education
and the tireless effort she put into her life’s work. In addition to the
many accomplishments in her career, Ann served as a Trustee and
Foundation Board Director as well as a dedicated volunteer for
Harford Community College. HCC President Dr. Dennis Golladay
said he admired her strong attachment to the College: “She was always
willing to do whatever would be in the best interest of the College.”

outlets for alumni through Facebook and
LinkedIn.
Through the Association’s fundraising
efforts, the Alumni Endowment Fund
reached a historic value of $200,000,
which was a long-standing goal for the
group. Each year the Association awards
scholarships from the fund to full-time,
part-time and transfer students.
