HINKING BEYOND
OUR OWN WALLS
At Harford, we continually ask, “What defines us?” and although specific answers
may change, an overall commitment to student success is always at the core.
Over the past five years, we have seen a 37 percent increase in HCC graduation rates. We continue to help our students
achieve the goal of college completion in a number of ways: by implementing new strategies in the areas of advising
and admissions, by increasing scholarships through our Foundation to help students who are struggling financially to
stay in college, and by facilitating the transfer of noncredit certificate classes into credits toward a degree. One of the
most visible steps was the groundbreaking for Darlington Hall, the new Nursing and Allied Health building, which,
when complete, will allow the credit and noncredit divisions to share resources and plan curriculum. I am very
appreciative of the generosity of the named donors who are partnering with us in this endeavor.
After overcoming many obstacles, a Towson University building located on the HCC campus is finally becoming a
reality. The $28 million facility will allow Harford Community College students to earn their associate degree here
and then complete their bachelor’s degree at Towson—without having to leave our campus. Undergraduate degree
programs that will be offered include Business Administration (management concentration), Information Technology,
Integrated Early Childhood Education/Special Education, Psychology, and Sociology (criminal justice concentration).
Towson University in Northeastern Maryland is expected to be completed in time for the fall 2014 semester.
When defining the College, we would be remiss not to talk about our place in the community and how we’ve grown to
meet the needs of those around us. During FY13, the Susquehanna Center renovation and expansion was completed
and included the new APG Federal Credit Union Arena. In addition to holding our first commencement ceremony
there this year, we were elated that five local high schools also chose our beautiful new facility for their graduation
ceremonies. Community members enjoyed a variety of performances including The Harlem Globetrotters and KC
and the Sunshine Band, as well as athletic events and assorted trade shows in the new venue.
It is gratifying to be part of such a worthwhile organization. I am proud of the many achievements and the excellent
academic work being completed by our students, staff, and faculty, as well as the outstanding performances by our
many athletic teams.
I am honored to share this report with you and hope that as you read it you will gain an even greater understanding
and appreciation for what defines us at Harford Community College. Your ongoing support of the College and its
programs is greatly appreciated, and I am pleased that we are working together for the common good.
Dennis Golladay, Ph.D.
President

On May 23, 2013, 331 students walked across
the stage to receive diplomas from HCC. Five
20-foot banners depicting the beauty of the
HCC campus provided a fitting backdrop. The
banners were a collaboration between Student
Activities and Marketing and will be used for
future HCC ceremonies.

prospective students,
providing them easyto-use information
about financial aid and
VA programs, default

management, and

MOVING FORWARD,
CONTINUOUSLY
Commencements, capital projects, and concerts. The new APG
Federal Credit Union Arena at Harford Community College officially opened its doors on December 4,
2012. Since then, the same doors have opened for the NJCAA basketball tournament, Family Fun Day
for community members, five high school graduations, The Harlem Globetrotters, KC and the Sunshine
Band, Andy Grammer, the 2013 Alumni & Friends Association Wine Expo, HCC’s employee holiday
party, and several trade shows. In May, Harford Community College’s Class of 2013 was the first class
to walk across the stage in the new arena. They were also the first class to wear gowns made from
100% recycled plastic bottles—part of Harford’s continuing effort toward sustainability on campus.
Hard work pays off . . . Graduating with honors”

ACADEMICS
CONTINUING EDUCATION
CAPITAL PROJECTS
Those pursuing nursing and allied health degrees and certificates, as well
as community health programs, will now be able to share resources in one
building. The $14.3 million Nursing and Allied Health building, Darlington
Hall, broke ground on August 27, 2013 and is on schedule to open in spring
2015. The new 52,000 square foot, three-story, state-of-the-art facility was
designed with high-tech classrooms, laboratories, modeling and simulation
labs, and informal study and social spaces.
“A facility of this caliber ensures that the teaching and learning experiences
will keep pace with changes in health care.”
Laura Cianelli Preston, Dean of Nursing and Allied Health Professions

Partnering for High-Tech
Instructional Delivery
Continuing Education and Training (CET) and the credit Nursing and Allied
Health Division partnered to acquire capital for computer hardware needed
to incorporate the use of electronic health records (EHR) into new and
existing degree and certificate programs. Using funds from a generous grant
provided by CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, CET was able to invest in tablets,
hybrid computers, charging cabinets, and wireless printers to use for EHR
instruction in labs and at clinical sites. The new technology replaces paper
charting and allows for greater access to individual patient information.
Sustainability
in the Classroom
Stan Kollar believes the concepts applied to
sustainable practices are so deeply interwoven into
our culture that he integrates them into all of his
classes. For example, the loss of plant species due
to climate change is discussed in Plant Science;
energy use and quality of life are integrated into
Human Ecology; and in General Biology II,
students explore how activities in our watersheds
impact the water quality in the Chesapeake Bay.
Colleen Webster’s English Composition and
English Literature and Composition classes focus
on ecology and the environment. Students’ writing
and research are designed to raise awareness and
alter lifestyle so that all may learn to live more
gently on the planet.
Harford County Council
President Billy Boniface
recently visited HCC
and learned the benefits
of solar power and how
HCC continues to be a
leader in sustainability
initiatives. Mr. Boniface,
pictured above with Steve
Garey, HCC’s Associate
Vice President for Campus
Operations, took a guided
tour to learn more about the
system. He was so impressed
with the project that he
is exploring options to
implement a similar system
on his farm in Darlington,
as well as in other areas
of the county.
Building With Environmental Consciousness
Tecta Solar installed 3,700 solar panels on the roofs of the Chesapeake Center, Student Center, Joppa
Hall, and the APGFCU Arena. The facility will generate approximately 1,000 MWh of electric power per
year, approximately 16% of the campus’ total electric use, and allow the College to save more than $30,000
per year in energy costs.
Stan Kollar and Colleen Webster
During construction of the APG Federal Credit Union Arena and renovation of the Susquehanna
Center, more than 40,000 cubic yards of earth were removed from the renovation site and relocated
to the College’s practice fields, decreasing vehicle emissions on nearby roads and providing more
“even playing fields” for the College’s practice fields. Hauling the dirt off site would have created
2,000 dump truck loads.
Sustainable features incorporated into the facilities included an energy efficient, white TPO roofing
system; a construction waste management plan; energy efficient heating and cooling systems; native
species landscaping; low flow water fixtures; and an energy efficient lighting selection.

SUSTAINABILITY
After 18 months of construction, the APG
Federal Credit Union Arena at Harford
Community College was completed in the fall of
2012. On December 4, community and business
leaders joined HCC to officially open the new
3,200 seat arena with a ribbon cutting ceremony
and court dedication.

Supporting the College’s goal of completion,
the Child Care Career and Professional
Development Fund Award (a grant totaling
$56,514 from the Maryland State Department
of Education) provides funding to credentialed
child care providers in Harford County to
pursue a degree in early childhood education.
During Power Up! orientation sessions, current student leaders
volunteered their time to guide newly admitted students through
the orientation process. At the end of the day, orientation leaders
encouraged students to sign a “pledge to complete” puzzle piece,
later displayed in the Student Center, as a reminder to stay on
track for graduation.

Completion of degrees, buildings, and goals. This year, Harford
Community College asked incoming students to “commit to complete” what they set out to
accomplish—to finish their degree, their certificate, or their class. The College did the same
by breaking ground for the new Towson building, fulfilling our goal of providing access to a
bachelor’s degree without leaving campus. A new political science course was added, a public
history track was developed, and once again, our College was recognized for its commitment
to the military by being listed as a 2013 Military Friendly School®. A commitment to health and
wellness was also at the forefront with several new employee initiatives as well as completion of
HCC’s portion of the Walls-Cook Trail—a walking and biking trail connecting the HCC Observatory
and Prospect Mill Park.
– can’t wait to walk across that stage! ”

Jumpstart Your Bachelor’s Degree
at Towson by First Earning Your
Associate Degree at Harford!
The new $28 million TU in Northeastern Maryland facility brings with it
unique opportunities for students. Towson’s programs will now be easier
for county residents to access and will provide opportunities for study
and workforce development in the region. The easy commute will also
save students in Maryland’s northeastern region both time and money.
An innovative 2+2 program with HCC allows students to study two
years at Harford and then finish their coursework toward a bachelor’s
degree at TU in Northeastern Maryland—all without ever having to
leave our campus. The University expects 140 to 200 students to enroll
for fall 2014 and aims to double that number the following year.
Undergraduate degree programs offered by TU in Northeastern
Maryland include: Business Administration (management
concentration), Information Technology, Integrated Early Childhood
Education/Special Education, Psychology, and Sociology (criminal
justice concentration).
On May 30, 2013, Towson University (TU) and
Harford Community College broke ground
for Towson University in Northeastern Maryland,
the first structure to be built on HCC’s new West
campus. Located across Thomas Run Road from
the main campus, the 60,000 square-foot facility
is set to be completed for the fall 2014 semester.
12
In addition to classrooms, the building will house wet labs, an
auditorium, and a bookstore.

Student Profile:
DANIEL ADAMS
Daniel Adams graduated from high school in 2003
with no thoughts of higher education. His interest
was cars—how they work, why they don’t, how
they can be fixed. It wasn’t long before he realized
that being a full-time automotive technician left
little room for growth. He wanted to be among
those who design, test, and build machinery for
tomorrow.
After enrolling in Harford’s engineering program,
he found a focus and determination to excel at his
studies. He clearly saw a career path that he had
been struggling to define.
That’s when the doors to his future opened.
Daniel was invited to join the Phi Theta Kappa
Honor Society. He continued in Harford’s
engineering program and graduated in May
2013 with a 3.64 GPA. Before graduation, he
applied for transfer scholarships offered to
graduates of Harford’s Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs
of study. Meeting the rigorous criteria outlined,
he was awarded a scholarship established by the
Armed Forces Communications and Electronics
Aberdeen Chapter Education Foundation and
another offered by Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC). The doors opened again as he
was able to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Maryland.
After earning his degree, Daniel plans to apply for
a career with the Department of Defense.
“I would love to help make tomorrow’s
military vehicles more efficient,
economical, and most importantly,
safer for our troops.”
Daniel Adams ‘13, Engineering

As part of an ongoing
effort to promote
independent exercise
and wellness, Fitness
Center hours were
increased and individual
exercise programs and
drop-in instruction times
were made available to
both full- and part-time
employees.
Harford Community College’s Department of Human
Resources has been hard at work developing new
wellness initiatives to create a two-fold benefit—
increase the health of our employees and minimize
the rising cost of health insurance.

A Commitment to
DIVERSITY
Harford Community College continues to recruit a racially and ethnically diverse campus population. The percent of
non-Caucasion students was 26% for 2012. Comparatively, the percent of non-Caucasion residents in Harford County
18 or older was 18%. In 2012, 8.7% of the full-time faculty were members of minority populations, up from 7% in 2008.
Programs and activities are designed to highlight the cultural diversity on campus and our diverse academic and co-curricular
pursuits, as well as introduce the campus community to cultural perspectives with which they may not be familiar. Some of
the specific programs this past year included Salsa dancers, a Gamelan ensemble, and South African dance. Kaleidoscope
of Cultures evening programs were open to the campus and community and offered the chance to view performances and
learn about the cultures and art through interactive workshops.

BRANDON WOLF
A member of the Fighting Owls Men’s Tennis
Team, Brandon Wolf truly loves the sport. This
spring, the mechanical engineering major was
named the national 2013 Arthur Ashe Leadership
and Sportsmanship Award winner by the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association. When his
name was announced at the NJCAA National
Tournament, Brandon said, “I was totally surprised
and very happy.”
As a national award winner, Brandon was invited
to attend a special recognition ceremony held
during the U.S. Open in August.
A major factor in receiving the award was
Brandon’s philosophy of helping others. He
has been involved in a number of community
service projects including volunteering at a soup
kitchen at St. Francis de Sales Church, collecting
donations for a women’s shelter in Baltimore,
and serving as a volunteer for church bingo. He is
also an exceptional student who received a tennis
scholarship and was named to the prestigious
Athletic Director’s Honor Roll at HCC.

THINKING BEYOND
OUR OWN WALLS
Partnerships, volunteerism, and philanthropy. When we look beyond
our immediate surroundings, we see how we are able to effect change—in others, in communities,
and in the world. This year our nursing students’ eyes were opened as they traveled to Belize to work
with staff at San Ignacio Hospital, and Alternative Spring Break students were able to lend help after
the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Some volunteered their time for the Hurd 5K, and others donated
toys for underprivileged children as “admission” to our holiday party. Each time we reach beyond our
walls, we bring something back to the College. Many of our partner organizations reach beyond their
own walls to support our campus, our students, and our scholarships—with their time, talents, and
donations. For them, and for members of our own community, we are grateful.

HCC students Regan Adair, Monica Frost, Jennifer
Lewis, Allison Redman, Aliyah Russell, Lauren
Zybell, and Ereini Yiannouris traveled to heavy-hit
New Jersey to donate their time during Alternative
Spring Break. They worked with other college
students from across the nation, cleaning up the
shoreline, sorting donations, and interacting with
the youth of Toms River.
Over spring break, HCC nursing students traveled
to San Ignacio, Cayo, Belize to work in San Ignacio

area, a labor and delivery area, and a six bed
in-patient area.

Terri Garland and Craig Ward
The Harford Community College Foundation is
pleased to report that several individuals in the
community have partnered with the College in
named gifts. The newest building going up on
campus, Darlington Hall will be the central hub
for students pursuing degrees and certificates in
the nursing and allied health professions, and the
gifts help make it possible for the College to keep
up with the high costs of emerging new medical
technology, equipment, and programs of study in
these fields.
With their strong ties to the College and a deep
appreciation for the value of a quality education,
Bryan and Katherine Kelly have named the lobby
of Darlington Hall in honor of Bryan’s parents,
Bob and Mary Ella Kelly.
David and Alena Schwaber
Craig Ward and his wife, Terri Garland, have
watched the College grow in leaps and bounds
year after year. They believe their partnership in
naming the Allied Health Lab will play a pivotal
role in the quality of health care education.
David and Alena Schwaber have long been
supporters of the College’s nursing program
Bryan and Katherine Kelly through scholarships they provide each year to
Mary Ella and Bob Kelly nursing students. Most impressive to them is the
hands-on technology used in the program.
By naming the Simulation Suite in Darlington Hall,
their hope is that students will be using state-ofthe-art simulators to prepare them for real world
experiences in their medical careers.
Generous donors, such as those mentioned
previously, help make a difference in the
educational opportunities available to our students.

Volunteer Profile:
TERRY TROY
Like most service organizations, the HCC
Foundation relies heavily on volunteers to
coordinate and execute fundraising events.
“We appreciate all of our volunteers—simply
put, we could not exist without them,” remarked
Denise Dregier, Director for College and Alumni
Development. However, some volunteers
rise to the top of the list as those who give a
tremendous amount of their time and talent to an
organization. Terry Troy is the HCC Foundation’s
volunteer extraordinaire. Terry has served on the
Foundation’s Board of Directors for the past nine
years. She has been a member of the Executive,
Financial Resources, Membership, Golf, and
Grants for Innovation Committees. In addition,
she is successful in securing gifts-in-kind for silent
auctions, serving on event planning committees,
and “working” events. In short, Terry is willing to
do what it takes for success. When asked why she
volunteers with the College Foundation, Terry said,
“Education has been very important in my life. I
felt that volunteering with the Foundation would
allow me to raise funds for student scholarships
and program support to allow others the
opportunity for a higher education.”
Thank you, Terry. You are one in a million!
“We appreciate all of our volunteers—simply put,
we could not exist without them.”
