Letter from the President
Whether you’ve been associated with Calhoun
Community College for one year, ten years, fifty
years or more, I know that we can all agree that in no
other time in the 62 year history of this great
institution have there been so many significant
accomplishments and so many milestones reached
in such a relatively short period of time.
Over the past few years, Calhoun has experienced
many tremendous successes, a number within the
past year. We have seen our enrollment sky-rocket to
over 11,000; progress on the construction of The Robotic Maintenance
Training Center, Phase I of the Robotics Technology Park, is moving along
nicely; our $44 million redevelopment project at the Decatur campus and
$3.3 million dollar expansion project resulting in additional classroom
space, parking, a new bookstore and student center for our Huntsville
campus are complete; and millions of dollars in grant funding have been
awarded to the College.
And, while all of these successes are truly impressive, what is just as
noteworthy is the fact that literally thousands of students, faculty and staff,
contributors, supporters and friends of the College have been involved. To
quote famed author, political activist, lecturer and Alabama native Helen
Keller, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
It is indeed because of the involvement of so many that we have and
continue to accomplish so much. We thank you for your many
contributions on behalf of Calhoun and the students we serve and hope you
enjoy this 2009 year in review.

A Campus that Encourages Learning
he completion of a $44 million redevelopment project literally transformed the Decatur campus, providing an educational environment
designed to support and encourage teaching and learning. Included
in the project was the construction of two new, state-of-the-art facilities (the
Health Sciences Center and the Math/Science/Administration building),
both featuring a more traditional academic look. Renovations to the Noble
Russell building, Harris Hall and the Wallace building were also included.
A $3 million beautification initiative which included landscaping, parking,
new signage, a new electronic marquee, a brick walkway extending the entire one-mile length of the campus, underground utilities, upgraded exterior
lighting and an impressive brick and wrought iron main entrance were
added to enhance the project.
T
Significant upgrades were also made to the College’s Huntsville campus.
The $3.3 million project includes 200 more parking spaces and 28,000
square feet of inside renovated space providing seven new state-of-the-art
classrooms, a new student center, new bookstore, and over 5,500 square
feet of additional space dedicated to the College’s Adult Education program.

A New Leader in our Midst
n December 1, 2009, Dr. Freida Hill officially became the new
chancellor of the Alabama Community College System (ACCS),
making her the first woman in the System’s history to serve as
permanent chancellor. Later that month, the Decatur campus of Calhoun
and our local community were fortunate to be among the first stops made
by Dr. Hill in her travels throughout the state and the System.
O
Dr. Hill visited the Decatur area to meet with the administrative staff of
Calhoun and local business leaders, elected officials and others as she
shared her vision for the system and put her “stamp of approval” on the
new downtown Decatur fine arts center, a collaborative effort between
Calhoun and Athens State University.

Opening Doors to Opportunity
ast summer, a $20,000 grant from the Alabama Department of
Education allowed Calhoun to literally open our doors to many
students and potential students who may not have otherwise visited
one of our traditional campus sites.
L
Funding from the “Opening Doors” College Access Challenge Grant Model
program enabled the College to open a temporary enrollment center in
Huntsville’s Parkway Place Mall and to meet students and potential
students where they work and play.
Referred to as the “Calhoun Connection”, the center provided financial aid
information, admissions assistance, advising/counseling, placement testing,
and even the opportunity to register for the 2009 fall semester. “Having a
location in such a high-traffic area as Parkway Place Mall was a perfect way
for us to reach students,” said Deborah Byrd, Calhoun Financial Aid
director.
The Opening Doors grant also provided funding for the Financial Aid staff
to go on the road with information and assistance through a series of bus
tours to area Wal-Marts.
The enrollment center proved to be a good investment of state dollars and a
successful way to reach students. Of the over 625 students assisted
through the center during its six-week “run”, close to 200 completed an onsite survey, with 97% indicating that they were very satisfied with their
experience, and 50% indicating that they would not have applied and
registered for classes had they not visited the center. The “dollar amount”
of the classes taken by these students came to almost $42,000, more than
doubling the initial funding of the project.

Robotics Technology Park Moves
Full Steam Ahead
Architects’ Rendering
mid frigid temperatures, snow and a few sunny days sprinkled here
and there, workers with G.C. Wyatt General Contracting quickly
transformed the once empty lot off Highway 31 north across from
Calhoun’s Decatur campus into the building that will anchor the Alabama
Robotics Technology Park (RTP). The Robotic Maintenance Training
Center, Phase I of the RTP, is set to open in mid-September 2010. “It is so
exciting; a truly remarkable site to look out the window of my office and
witness the daily progress that the construction company has made,”
commented Calhoun President Marilyn Beck.
A
Construction of the RTP’s Phase II facility, the Advanced Technology
Research and Development Center, is expected to begin soon, with an
anticipated completion date of early 2011. The $8.5 million, 35,000 squarefoot project will include a large open shop space, labs and classrooms for
robotics research and development, and a 53-acre outdoor track to allow for
testing in a variety of environments.
Funding options for Phase III, the Integration and Entrepreneurial Center,
are being explored.

Tradition Takes a Back Seat in
Pursuit of High Tech Careers
ven in the face of a recession, great careers are still available in many
technical fields, and throughout the nation efforts are underway to
grow the workforce in those jobs through greater diversity.
E
A week-long free summer camp offered by Calhoun continues to spark the
interest of area high school girls in non-traditional, high-tech, high wage
careers in welding and electrical technology.
During the college’s 3rd annual Summer Welding and Electrical Technology
(SWeETy) camp, participants were given a unique opportunity to learn
hands-on about technical skills that can lead to high-paying, satisfying
careers in high growth industries.
“The students were challenged to break down stereotypes that may deter
girls from pursuing technical professions by introducing them to successful
women who currently work in nontraditional fields and by offering them a
number of convincing reasons why girls should consider technical careers,”
said camp coordinator Gwen Baker.
Athena Hinkle, a student from Athens Bible School who was also enrolled
in the welding program at Limestone County Career Technical Center,
attended the camp because one of the camp’s instructors was also her high
school welding teacher. Hinkle says that her plans are to enter a college
welding program when she leaves high school.
Sixteen-year old Casey Hamer, a student from Woodville High School,
traveled almost an hour each morning to get to the camp, but felt it was
worth the drive. “My mom found out about this online and I really like
trying new experiences, so I decided to come. The welding is fun and it’s
something I might like to do later,” she said.
“By introducing these career options to young women still in high school,
we hope to guide them early on into the math and science courses they will
need to prepare them for earning a degree or certificate in these highdemand, high-paying fields,” said Jim Swindell, associate dean for
technology education at Calhoun.

Highlights
he following are selected highlights of notable events and
programs which occurred throughout the last year.
T
In April, Calhoun’s Decatur campus served as the site for a regional meeting
announcing the results of the Tennessee Valley Regional Growth Coordination Plan,
a report on how the Valley will address the needs associated with the area’s Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) effort. More than 100 business, educational and
civic leaders; government and elected officials; law enforcement representatives and
others attended the meeting. Among the priorities set forth in the plan is to increase
the number of graduates and students in vocational/ technical programs, specifically
in machine trades and other manufacturing disciplines, an area which is of
particular interest to Calhoun as we do our part to provide highly-qualified
individuals to assume the increased number of jobs resulting from BRAC.
EMT Dual Enrollment program
Military Friendly School
Calhoun was among eight area two-year colleges featured in the local launch of a
national awareness campaign designed to change the image of manufacturing
careers in the minds of 16 to 26 year olds, their parents, teachers and counselors.
“Dream it, Do it” (DIDI) is a program developed by the National Association of
Manufacturers in Washington D.C. and piloted in the Kansas City area. The local
campaign has already made a significant impact on increasing the awareness of
career options in the manufacturing area.
The Alabama Office of Workforce Development awarded the College a $31,500 grant
to establish a pilot Dual Enrollment program in the Emergency Medical Technician
(EMT)-Basic certificate program. The pilot program, which kicked-off during the
2009 fall semester at Sparkman High School, targeted seniors to provide EMT-Basic
training. Upon successful completion, eligible students were prepared to take the
National Registry EMT exam. Students Jacob Nesmith and Alexandria Gray
successfully completed their first attempt at the certification test to become
nationally registered and state-licensed EMT-Basics. Sparkman was selected to pilot
the program because of its established Medical Academy with a proven method of
identifying high-achieving students having a genuine interest in health education.
The school also has a strong Dual Enrollment relationship with Calhoun. The
Calhoun-Sparkman High program was the first in the state allowing high school
students the opportunity to complete the EMT-Basic certification entirely through
Dual Enrollment. The tremendous success of the Sparkman program has led to the
development of programs with Bob Jones and Grissom High schools.
Calhoun was among the educational institutions included in the 2010 list of
Military Friendly Schools by the newsletter, G.I. Jobs. The list honors the top 15
percent of colleges, universities and trade schools throughout the nation which are
doing the most to embrace America’s veterans as students. The common bond of the
schools listed is their shared priority of recruiting students with military experience.
The list was compiled through exhaustive research starting last May during which
G.I. Jobs polled more than 7,000 schools nationwide. Criteria for making the Military
Friendly Schools list included efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran
students, results in recruiting military and veteran students, and academic
accreditations.
Associate Degree Nursing Program
14 |
Associate Degree nursing graduates last fall posted an impressive 9 point gain over
the previous class for the 2008-09 NCLEX (National Council of Licensure
Examination). The graduates’ 88.3% score represented an 11% increase over last
year. Health Sciences Dean Bret McGill credited the increase in scores to several
things which included implementing a system designed to identify at an earlier
point in the semester students who are struggling with the curriculum and then
providing additional instruction and assistance for these students throughout the
semester and prior to their sitting for the licensure exam. The College’s scores for
the Associate Degree or registered nursing program graduates exceeded the national
average of 88.2% and were just slightly under the state’s average of 89.6%. The
averages were based on registered nursing programs at both 2-year and 4-year
institutions. Licensed Practical Nursing graduates performed just as well on their
exam, with an 89.7% passage rate, again exceeding the national average (85.2%) and
just under the state average of 94.8%.
Over 1000 middle and high school students, teachers and parents representing 19
schools from across north Alabama and southern Tennessee descended on Calhoun’s
Decatur campus on October 24 for the 2009 Tennessee Valley (TVB) BEST (Boosting
Engineering Science and Technology) robotics competition. Headquartered at
Auburn University, the BEST program was created to help address the critical
shortage of engineers and scientists the country is now facing. Calhoun serves as one
of four “hubs” for Alabama’s BEST program. According to Calhoun BEST Director
Sue Mitchell, industry sees BEST as an ideal workforce development program
because in the process of building their robots, students learn to identify and analyze
design problems, brainstorm solutions for them, and build and test their designs, all
in a team-building setting.
Last fall, the College’s Adult Education program was awarded $1.4 million in
funding from the state for the 2009-2010 fiscal year, a 20% increase over the last
year. During the previous year, the program served over 2000 students across its
three-county service area of Madison, Morgan and Limestone counties, 16% more
students than in 2007-08. Calhoun’s Adult Education program, which was
recognized as an Outstanding Program in the state, last year added 10 additional
program sites across its service area to meet the growing demand.
Adult Education
Calhoun students started the 2009 academic year last fall "on the road to success"
when nationally-recognized motivational speaker Dennis Rahiim Watson visited the
College. President and CEO of The Center for Black Student Achievement, Watson
has been ranked as one of the top 50 motivational speakers in the nation and is often
described as a cross between Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson and Les Brown. He has
spoken at colleges and universities around the country including Yale, Harvard,
Howard, Kent State, Cornell, Morehouse, UCLA, Columbia , Hampton, Vanderbilt,
Brown and Stanford. During his presentation, Watson addressed the topic "No
Excuses for a Lack of Student Achievement in a Globally Competitive World."
Calhoun, in conjunction with event sponsors ATK, Boeing, ERC, InfoPro, Jacobs,
LM, Qualis, Teledyne Brown Engineering and ULA (United Launch Alliance)
honored north Alabama aerospace technicians during the 2nd Annual Regional
Aerospace Technician Appreciation Night on May 1. Venue for the event was the
U.S. Space and Rocket Center’s Davidson Center for Space Exploration. Over 450
local aerospace technicians, company representatives and community leaders
attended the event. Guest speakers included NASA/MSFC Director Robert Lightfoot;
Phillip R. Marshall, Vice President Production Operations, ULA; and Colonel John
Olshefski (U.S. Army Ret). “Technicians make the world go round,” commented Col.
Olshefski during the event.
Based on the most recent report from the National Registry Examination for
Emergency Medical Services graduates, students from Calhoun Community
College’s Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic programs achieved
passage rates significantly above the state and national averages. According to
the report, Calhoun’s paramedic students achieved a 100% passage rate,
exceeding the state rate of 70% and the national rate of 75% during the same

time period. Calhoun students taking the EMT Certification exam posted a 96%
passage rate, compared to the state rate of 74% and national rate of 70%.
Calhoun’s Paramedic program was awarded continuing accreditation by the
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP)
during the 2008 academic year. The College’s Emergency Medical Services and
Paramedic programs have been listed among the best in the country.
Alicia Taylor
Calhoun’s 2009 WORKFORCE EXPO was held February 4. Close to 1,000
students, parents and educators from seven area school systems attended. Each
year, the Expo brings together local businesses, industries and employers who
provide the jobs in our area and the young people who will soon fill those jobs.
Over 50 area businesses and industries participated in last year’s Expo. The
Career & Workforce Expo is an annual program sponsored by the Calhoun
Community College Tech Prep Consortium and the Decatur-Morgan County
Chamber of Commerce with support provided by area businesses and industries.

Several administrative changes have been made at the College. Following
national searches, Calhoun President Dr. Marilyn Beck announced the selection
of Alicia Taylor as the College’s new Vice President of Instruction and Student
Success and the naming of Dr. Debi Garrison (formerly Grants Coordinator at the
College) as the new Dean for Planning, Research and Grants. Both searches were
the result of retirements. Dr. Beck also announced the appointment of Terri
Bryson as the new dean of the Calhoun’s Huntsville/Cummings Research Park
campus, replacing Alicia Taylor, who held the position just prior to her selection
as VP. Bryson, who previously served as Calhoun’s Director of Development,
retains this position in addition to her duties as Huntsville campus dean.
Jimmy Duke, dean of Calhoun’s Math and Science division, was featured in the
cover story “Technology & the Community College: The Three R’s: Resourceful,
Resilient, and Ready,” published in the March 2009 issue of Campus Technology
Magazine. In the article, Duke discusses the widespread investment in
technology by community colleges across the country that is boosting the image
of these two-year schools and making them more competitive with four-year
institutions.
Computer Information Systems instructors Mike Haghighi and Nick Agrawal
attended the Cisco CCNA-Security program, becoming Cisco Certified Academy
Instructors for CCNA-Security. Calhoun has also been designated a CISCOCCNA, Wireless and Security Academy.
Ms. Angela Watkins, MSN, RN, was selected for the 2010 The Face of Nursing
calendar. Ms. Watkins was one of 12 nurses in Alabama selected for the calendar.
The Alabama State Nurses Association sponsors the project each year to celebrate
and recognize professional nurses. Nurses are nominated by informative essay
submitted by a colleague. Watkins was nominated by Dr. Sybil Roark of the
Calhoun Nursing department. Candidates selected have served as an inspiration
to other nurses and patients through demonstration of outstanding professional
nursing practices.
Mike Haghighi
The Public Affairs, Community Relations and Special Events department at
Calhoun continued its record of winning by returning with an impressive 11
awards from last year’s annual conference of the Alabama Community College
System Public Relations Association (ACCSPRA). During ACCSPRA’s annual
conference held June 22-23 in Montgomery, Calhoun’s Public Relations
department received 6 first place Pyramid Awards, 1 second place Award of
Achievement, 3 third place Awards of Merit and a “Best of Show” award in the
Broadcast/Electronic Publications area for the “We are Calhoun” television ad.
Mindy Birdwell, a student in the Machine Tool Technology program at Calhoun,
was named first place winner of the Community College Week /NISOD (National
Institute for Staff and Organizational Development) Student Essay Contest.
Mindy’s essay won first place from the more than 700 essays submitted from
community college students nationwide. Entitled “A Hero in an Unlikely Place,”
Mindy’s essay speaks about the impact her instructor, Mike Blizzard, made on her
life after coming to Calhoun as an older student. In her essay, Mindy says that
Blizzard, “opened up a whole new world to me, and in his own way mentored me
through my first two years at Calhoun. Mike Blizzard not only taught me how to
be a pretty good machinist, but he also helped me get my self-esteem and selfconfidence back that I had lost during an abusive twenty-seven year marriage. I
will never be able to repay him for the encouragement and compassion shown to
me during my first two years at Calhoun.”
Nick Agrawal
Joey King, a second-year Machine Tool Technology student at Calhoun, won the
gold medal in the CNC Milling competition during last year’s National SkillsUSA
conference in Kansas City, Mo. A 3rd generation machining student at Calhoun,
both Joey’s father and great uncle were enrolled in the College’s program a
number of years ago.

Mr. Em Barran, III
Gateway Commercial Brokerage, Inc.
Dear Friends,
What you are doing is wonderful!
On behalf of the College and its Foundation, I want
to thank all of Calhoun’s contributors for their
continued support of our students and our College.
Your gifts are changing lives.
There is a Chinese proverb that says, “Give a man
a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish
and he will eat for a lifetime.” Today, education is
the net that makes it possible for families to catch their future.

Education is a treasure. It is the most meaningful and enduring gift you
can share. It is the gift that students carry with them for the rest of their
lives - a student’s Calhoun Community College education will provide
them the means to do their part in making our community a better place
to live.
Mr. Zach Jacobsen
Redstone Village
I am happy to report that through your generosity this past year, we were
able to provide financial assistance to more than 300 students. Those
that received your support represent a cross-section of talented
individuals who might have been recruited from our community without
the incentive of your scholarship support. Our scholarships retained
these “best and brightest” for our local workforce and opened the doors of
education to those who needed your helping hand.
Mr. Stan McDonald
Thank you for being a champion of education. Please continue to make a
place for Calhoun in your heart and in your giving. Your support is
changing lives and blessing our community.
