The President’s
MESSAGE
Marilyn C. Beck
President
2
The past year has
been a very busy and
tremendously exciting
year for Calhoun Community College and for me,
personally. My first year
as president of the College has been a wonderful and extremely
rewarding experience,
and I feel most fortunate
to have had the opportunity to be associated with
such a dedicated and
committed team.
Much has been
accomplished during the
last year, none of which
could have been possible
without the support and
contributions of our many
community partners and
friends. And, as we do
each year through this
publication, our Annual
Report, we reflect on just
a few of the many programs and activities, outstanding
accomplishments of our
students, and the significant work of our faculty
and staff which have
occurred in the past year.
This year, we saw
record enrollments in
both our fall 2003 and
spring 2004 semesters,
with an all time high of
over 9,000 students fall
semester. Our instructional area added two
new degree programs,
and new certification programs in the health field
were added to our extensive list of offerings
through the Business and
Industry Services division. The development
of a College Master Plan,
including renovations
and improvements of a
number of our facilities, is
also underway.
Last spring, we celebrated the official opening of the Advanced
Electronics Manufacturing Lab, Phase II of the
Aerospace and
Advanced Technology
Park, and anticipate the
groundbreaking for the
final phase of this threebuilding complex soon.
In addition, we expanded
the College’s Student
Services area, with
improvements in the registration process and the
college bookstores.
As we look forward to
an even greater 20042005 academic year, we
thank each of you for the
part you have played this
year and ask for your
continued support as we
move forward in making
Calhoun Community College a world-class institution.

CALHOUN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
College Marks Official Openings of New
Advanced Electronics Manufacturing
Lab and New Barbering/Cosmetology
Facility
The College hosted a
ribbon cutting ceremony on
April 21, 2003, to officially
“open the doors” to its new
ADVANCED ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING (AEM) lab,
located in the new
Advanced Manufacturing
Processes building. The
College invested $2.9 million in refurbishing and
connecting two existing
buildings to create the
28,000 square foot
Advanced Manufacturing
Processes facility, the second phase of Calhoun’s
three-building Aerospace
and Advanced Technology
Park. Construction on
Phase III, the Information
and Visualization Technology Center, also to be a
combination of refurbished
and new construction, is
expected to begin later this
year.
The new AEM lab
occupies approximately
5,000 square feet of the
Advanced Manufacturing
Processes building and
supports the College’s
AEM associate of applied
science degree. Among
the equipment located in
the AEM lab is $220,000 in
state-of-the-art industry
processing equipment provided through a partnership between Calhoun and
STI (Soldering Technology
International), Inc. of Madison. Through this partnership and use of Perkins
technology funds, STI also
assisted the College in
developing curriculum for
the AEM degree to support
its success.
The Barbering and
Cosmetology programs cohosted a Ribbon Cutting
and Open House ceremony in October to mark the
grand opening of their new
location. The new Barber-

Phase III of Tech Park.
According to college
records, Barbering and
Cosmetology courses have
been offered at Calhoun
since the mid 1960’s, making them among the College’s oldest programs.

CALHOUN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Partnership
Creates New
Program Targeting
Training for
Non-Custodial
Fathers
Among the areas in
which Calhoun continues to
have a positive impact are
economic and workforce
development. To that end,
the College recently
announced the formal kickoff of the Alabama Fatherhood Initiative (AFI) of
Morgan County, a program
designed to provide shortterm employment and skills
training services to assist
underemployed and unemployed non-custodial
fathers who have fallen significantly behind on their
child support payments.
The courts are taking a
much tougher stand in dealing with non-custodial parents who have fallen behind
or fail to make mandated
child support payments.
However, in some cases,
these parents have real
obstacles in making support payments, and the
courts have recognized this.
In an effort to aide these
individuals, the College
partnered with the Morgan
County Department of
Human Resources, the
Alabama Department of
Rehabilitation Services,
Decatur Youth Services,
Decatur CareerLink, PACT
(Parents and Children
Together) and Morgan
County District Judges
2003-2004 ANNUAL REPORT
David Breland and David
Bibb to provide this program.
Calhoun is one of nine
community colleges in the
state selected to pilot the
Alabama Fatherhood Initiative program. Specifically,
the program provides
employment opportunities to
under- and unemployed noncustodial parents through
increased educational and
short-term skills training,
adult education classes, and
pre-employment skills to get
these individuals into the
workforce sooner. In addition, it provides realistic alternatives to incarceration for
non-custodial parents who
want to work and meet their
financial responsibilities to
their children and training
certifications and assistance
in obtaining viable employment. Funding for tuition for
program participants is
being provided through Welfare-to-Work and the Workforce Investment Act.
Calhoun’s job training
will offer skills in Commercial
Drivers’ License (CDL),
welding, health care programs (Phlebotomy Technician, Pharmacy Technician,
Medical Billings Records
Clerk, Certified Nursing
Assistant), and computer
application classes. The
students will have up to 12
weeks to complete the program (depending on work
schedules). Angela Henderson is the program’s Interim
Case Manager.
National Grant
Awarded to Fund
Martin Luther King
Day Activities
The College received a
grant last year from the Corporation for National and
Community Service to fund
several service projects
related to Martin Luther
King Day activities.
Dr. Kermit Carter, assistant dean for student affairs,
commented, “ We’re looking
forward to a great celebration of Dr. King’s life this
year, one that will reflect his
commitment to service and
bring his teachings to life.
This grant will help us serve
our community by (1)
Hosting a community
brunch and program
commemorating Dr.
King’s birthday; (2)
Taking a group of elementary students on a
field trip to the Birmingham Civil Rights
Institute; (3) Stocking
a food pantry and
community clothes
closet, and (4) Hosting
a ‘Paint the Town’
event to beautify the
homes of senior citizens in the community. I hope that for many
residents of Morgan County, this will be the start of a
continuing commitment to
service.”
Dr. Mervyn Warren, Oakwood College Provost and author of
the book “King Came Preaching: The Pulpit Power of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.” was keynote speaker for Calhoun’s
2004 MLK Observance program, which drew over 100 persons from the college and the local community.

CALHOUN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
New Degree
Programs, Health
Care Certifications
Add to Calhoun’s
Workforce
Development
Initiatives
Last year, the Alabama
Commission on Higher
Education (ACHE)
approved the College’s
application for a new Associate of Applied Science
degree in Process Technology. Classes in the new
program started in January
2004, with more than a
dozen students enrolled.
The College worked with
the Morgan County Chamber Workforce Development board and local
process industries over the
last few years to develop
this training program,
aimed at meeting projected
workforce requirements in
this industry. Local companies involved in this initiative included BP, Bunge,
Cargill, Solvey, Solutia,
Nova Chemicals, 3M, Hexcel, Toray, Calpine, TVA,
and others.
Most of the technicians
and operators currently in
the field have received
their knowledge and skills
through in-house training.
However, today’s entrylevel employees need
basic and advanced
knowledge in the area.
Throughout the program
development process, Calhoun worked closely as a
mentee with the Center for
the Advancement of
Process Technology
6
(CAPT), a National Science
Foundation (NSF)
Advanced Technology Center of Excellence.
With the start of this
program, the College adds
the north Alabama region to
a list of areas served by
more than 26 community
colleges and three universities in ten states providing
this nationally-recognized
curriculum to students training for employment in this
challenging and rewarding
industry.
Health care jobs and
careers are presently the
fastest national growing
occupations today. The
Department of Labor projects a 25% increase in the
number of health care jobs
between now and the year
2010. In response to meeting industry needs in the
surrounding communities of
North Alabama, Calhoun
partnered with Condensed
Curriculum International
(CCI) last fall to offer shortterm training in “Innovative
Allied Health Certification
Programs”. Under the
umbrella of short-term training and health certifications, the College is offering
Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy, Medical Billing and
Coding, and Certified Nursing Assistant.

want to invest in programs
they believe will have a
long-term, positive impact.
This is a reflection on the
work our faculty, staff and
students are doing.
As available state and
federal funds diminish, private philanthropy will make
the difference in the future
success of public higher
education. Therefore, we
are especially grateful to
you for providing resources
that make the difference
between a good educational experience and a great
one. Please accept our
heartfelt gratitude for giving
your time, talents and financial support to Calhoun
Community College.
