2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT
President’s Message
Once again, it is time for us to take a look back at
the many events, activities and programs that helped to
shape the past year for Calhoun Community College.
While I always enjoy this annual review of our
many accomplishments and successes during the past
year, this particular annual report holds an even greater
significance for me. Shortly, I will assume the position
of President/Executive Director of the Wisconsin Technical College System. And, while I am excited about the opportunities this new
position will afford me, I am at the same time saddened by my departure from Calhoun.
It has been said that an organization is only as strong as the individuals who
comprise it, and in the case of Calhoun this could not be truer. In the past year
alone, Calhoun has reached all-time record enrollments for both our fall and spring
semesters; went live with our very own television station; been awarded several million dollars in public and private funding; prepared for and hosted our SACS
(Southern Association for Colleges and Schools) Reaccreditation Team visit; and is
very close to completion of Phase II of Tech Park. These accomplishments and so
many others this year are the direct result of our dedicated and committed students,
faculty and staff, and I am truly honored to have been part of such a progressive and
innovative team for the past 10 years.
For well over 50 years, Calhoun Community College has been a vital part of
this community and I know will continue to be well into the future.
I wish the College and the community it serves much success. I will truly miss
all of you.
Sincerely,
Richard Carpenter
President

2001-2002 ANNUAL REPORT
Programs
Despite the tremendous challenges faced by the College in the past year, many of those
directly related to existing budget shortfalls greatly exacerbated by last year’s proration woes,
the Calhoun team realized many significant milestones.
A highlight of these accomplishments is featured in the next few pages.
Tech Park’s Phase II Nearing Completion
Construction is rapidly nearing completion for the
Advanced Manufacturing Processes Lab, Phase II of the
Aerospace and Advanced Technology Park project.
According to Jim Swindell, assistant dean for technology
education and director of Tech Park, the project is on track
and scheduled to open spring 2002.
The $4.5 million facility will house the state of Alabama’s first Advanced Electronics Manufacturing Lab as well
as programs in electronics manufacturing, electro-mechanical automation (robotics), and surface mount technology.
In addition, the College’s Distance Education program will
be located in the building.
Phase II’s development involves a number of community partners, which include Soldering Technology International, Incorporated (STI) of Madison. The partnership
between Calhoun and STI provides for the development of
new associate’s degree and certificate programs in
advanced electronics manufacturing, to be housed in
Phase II. These programs will provide workforce development support for electronics manufacturing throughout
the region by training students in modern electronics
industry concepts.
“The completion of Phase II of Tech Park and the creation of the state’s first Advanced Electronics Manufacturing
Center at Calhoun represent a major initiative for the state’s
economic and workforce development activities,” said Calhoun President Richard Carpenter.
CALHOUN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Fall, Spring Semesters See Record Enrollments
The fall 2001 and spring 2002 semesters saw record
numbers of students enrolling at Calhoun. Close to 8500
students were enrolled in each of the semesters, helping
the college to reach an enrollment milestone and topping
the previous year’s enrollment numbers by almost 600 students each semester.
According to officials in the college’s Admissions
Office, this upward trend in enrollment was attributed in
part to the nation’s current economic picture. “Historically, when the country has experienced a downturn in the
economy, educational institutions have experienced enrollment increases,” commented Calhoun Admissions Director
Wayne Tosh. “A significant number of our students are
here to upgrade their skills for job advancement. We have
also seen a growing number of students who have been laid
off from companies in the area. These individuals have
taken advantage of benefits provided under the Workforce
Investment Act to obtain the necessary training or retraining
to re-enter the workforce and have made the decision to
come to Calhoun,” added Tosh.
As the largest of the state’s 29 two-year colleges, Calhoun continues to offer a quality education to our students
at an affordable cost in a variety of locations and formats
making the College an even more attractive option to those
planning to pursue a higher education.

“Calhoun’s Channel 4 will offer 24-hour distance education programming as well as community service
announcements, Calhoun job announcements, and original programming,” said Dr. Richard Carpenter. The channel is currently being broadcast from a studio located on
the second floor of the college’s Fine Arts Building, but
will move to a larger facility at the College later this year.
“This new venture into cable television will allow
Calhoun to continue our commitment to provide quality
education ‘anytime, anyplace’,” added Carpenter.

“I attribute much of the success of this program and
its graduates to our outstanding team of full- and part-time
faculty,” commented Brenda Beasley, chairperson of the
college’s Allied Health department. “We are also extremely fortunate to have tremendous support from our president, Dr. Richard Carpenter, and the administration of the
College,” Ms. Beasley added.
“Let’s Pretend Hospital” Provided
Age-Appropriate Look for Area First Graders
Last spring, the College’s Nursing Department, in partnership with Decatur General Hospital, hosted its first
annual “Let’s Pretend Hospital,” a mock hospital for area
first graders. Close to 800 first grade students from schools
in Decatur City, Morgan County, and several private
schools in the area participated in this innovative ‘ageappropriate’ look at the hospital.
According to Jan Peek, chairperson of the Nursing
Department, “Let’s Pretend Hospital” was created to provide first graders with ‘friendly’ information about what
actually happens when someone is admitted to the hospital, has surgery, etc. “All the information presented in the
mock hospital setting was done on a non-threatening, first
grade level,” said Ms. Peek.
“This project presented a great
opportunity for Calhoun’s Nursing Department to partner
with one of our largest nursing employers, Decatur
General,” commented Ms.
Peek. “It also provided an
opportunity for our associate degree nursing students to participate in
health teaching and be
actively involved in a
community pediatric experience,” she added.
Nursing department students and faculty recently conducted the second year of the
“Let’s Pretend Hospital” project.
EMS Program Among Nation’s Best
Students graduating from Calhoun Community College’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program are
among the nation’s best
prepared, based on results
from the most recent state
licensing exam.
According to statistics from the Alabama
Department of Public
Health’s EMS Division,
the passing rate of Calhoun EMS and Paramedic
graduates was significantly greater than both the
state and national averages. Comparisons are as

Division hosted the
Third Annual North
Alabama Computing
Olympiad in
February.
According to
Elizabeth Cheatham,
Calhoun CIS instructor and coordinator of the Olympiad, the activity’s primary
goal each year is to increase the awareness and participation of students in technology-related fields such as computer science, information systems, and computer
engineering.
Student teams from high schools in Athens/Limestone
County, Decatur, Falkville, Hazel Green, and Huntsville
participated in the event, competing in the areas of Web
Page Design (consisting of the design of a complete web
site) and Web Surfing.
Each member of the winning teams was awarded a
scholarship to attend Calhoun. Winners also earned the
opportunity to compete in the state Computing Olympiad
on the campus of The University of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa.
Child Care Development Center Library
Dedicated in Honor of Dorothy Johnson
In September, the College’s Child Development Learning Lab held a dedication ceremony to officially name the
Center’s library in honor of Dorothy B. Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson retired from Calhoun last year, having
served as chairperson of the College’s Social Science division. She has also established the Dorothy B. Johnson Loan
Fund for Calhoun students experiencing immediate cash
flow problems. Monies from the fund may be used to pay
tuition and/or purchase books. In addition, during the
dedication ceremony, Mrs. Johnson presented a check for
the purchase of two new computers and software for the
Child Care Development Center.
Calhoun Selected as National Headquarters for
English Honor Society
The Board of Directors for the Sigma Kappa Delta
English Honor Society recently selected Calhoun as the
official site of the Society’s national headquarters. In addition, Calhoun English Instructor Dr. Sheila Byrd was
named the Society’s national Executive Director.
Sigma Kappa Delta is the national English honor
Society for two-year colleges and has the following purposes: 1) to recognize and reward outstanding achievement in
English and literature; 2) provide cultural stimulation and
promote interest in English on two-year college campuses
and in the communities they serve; 3) to foster English in

Surgical/Operating Room Technology Program
Receives Accreditation
The Commission on
Accreditation of Applied
Health Education Programs granted initial
accreditation to Calhoun’s Surgical/Operating Room (SOR)
Technology program. The initial
accreditation period runs from January 2002 - January
2005.
The State
Board of Education
granted approval for
the creation of Calhoun’s Surgical/Operating Room program in
2000, with the initial
class of students being
admitted in the fall of 2000.
The college’s Surgical/Operating
Room Technology program is one of
several programs included in Calhoun’s Allied Health division.
The 12-month certificate degree program is designed
to prepare graduates for employment and careers in the
rapidly growing field of Surgical Technology. Surgical
Technologists are integral members of the surgical team
who work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses, and other surgical personnel in delivering
patient care.
“Accreditation of our SOR program is an extremely
important step for us, from both the standpoint of our curriculum and just as importantly for our students,” commented Program Coordinator Grant Wilson. “Accreditation
of the program means that our graduates are now able to
sit for the national certification exam,” added Wilson.
A partnership between the ACT Center at Calhoun, in
cooperation with ACT, Inc., and Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) last year resulted in the launch of a webbased pilot program which allows TBE employees to
access more than 1,000 courses free of charge.
Through the new web-based learning program, Teledyne Brown employees are able to access the courses on
desktop personal computers—from home or work—on a
24-hour per day basis.
Teledyne Brown is the first commercial company in
the U.S. to initiate this type of partnership with ACT and
the ACT Center Program established through community
colleges nationwide. The success of the TBE program is a
model for other ACT Centers to partner with companies
seeking the flexibility and resources of Web-based learning
to expand and maintain the skill sets of employees.
“This is another example of our commitment to partner with outstanding local institutions like Calhoun to
expand and enhance the quality of each employee’s work
experience and environment,” said Jim Link, president of
Teledyne Brown Engineering. “Programs like this ensure
that we will continue to support our customers with a
highly-skilled and ever-improving workforce.”

Last spring, former Calhoun Executive Vice President
Dr. Gary Green left the College to accept the position of

“In his eight years with the College, Gary Green did a
wonderful job for Calhoun,” commented Dr. Carpenter.
“He will truly be missed by the College and the community, and his shoes will be hard to fill.”
A veteran educator with over 25 years of administrative and instructional experience in the field, Green joined
the Calhoun staff in January 1993. Before coming to Calhoun, he had served as Dean of Academic Affairs for

Elizabethtown Community College in Kentucky.
for generating millions of dollars in grants and private support, and most recently, completed the College’s Partners
in Progress Campaign, raising $4.7M in pledges and support. Dr. Hansberry’s influence was felt, not only in the
enhancement of funding to Calhoun, but also in the leadership role she played in campus beautification, signage, and
special events on campus. She served in a key liaison role
between the College and the community and will be
missed,” Carpenter added.

A unique partnership between the College and The
Mental Health Center of North Central Alabama, Inc. last
year resulted in the establishment of a new Student Assistance Program (SAP) for Calhoun students.
According to Dr. Kermit Carter, assistant dean
for Student Affairs at the
College, the new program
allows the Division of Student Affairs to provide
counseling services for students with special needs.
“We are excited about the
DR. KERMIT CARTER
opportunity to provide
Assistant Dean for
expanded counseling and supStudent Affairs
port services to our students,”
said Carter.
“One of the unique features of this new program is
that it was created through an agreement between Calhoun
and The Mental Health Center using the time honored tradition of bartering,” he added. “Specifically, The Mental
Health Center will provide counseling services for our students, and in exchange, Calhoun will provide services for
the agency such as meeting room space and training support, all at no cost to either party.”
The goal of the new program is to provide creative
solutions to student problems. Professional, confidential
counselors will provide assistance to students with personal issues that may be impacting their academic performance. “We are pleased to be able to offer these expanded
counseling services to our students at a time when the
threat of proration and budget constraints make it impossible to hire additional counseling staff,” said Carter.
Calhoun Alum
Donates Artwork to
College
Former Calhoun art
student Ooyoo Augustine donated one of his
original pieces of artwork to the College’s permanent Fine Arts Gallery
Collection. The piece,
entitled “Lyrical Leap” is
an example of art from
Kenya and is valued at
over $1600.
Ooyoo, who is well known for his metal sculptures,
has been recognized frequently for his work. He has sold
many pieces and for the last two years was a First Place
winner in the Alabama College System’s Chancellor’s
Awards Art Competition. Last year, Ooyoo was commissioned to create a butterfly-inspired metal piece for the
Huntsville Botanical Garden.

MESSAGE FROM THE
FOUNDATION PRESIDENT
MESSAGE FROM THE
FOUNDATION DIRECTOR
Dan David, Foundation President
and Chairman of the Foundation
Board of Directors
Jane Houston,
Interim Executive Director
Forward thinking citizens established the Calhoun Community
College Foundation in July 1975
to help Calhoun fulfill its mission of providing a quality,
affordable and accessible post-secondary education and to
promote economic development in north Alabama. Those
concerned citizens were determined to provide a learning
environment that would put Calhoun on the leading edge
of excellence. Recognizing that relying solely on public
funding limits the potential for excellence, the Foundation
worked to develop a broad base of private financial support.
As the president of a college,
there are many decisions to make
and many causes to consider.
Choosing what to support is
never easy because every cause is important to someone.
Calhoun Community College has been fortunate to have,
in Dr. Richard Carpenter, a president who has chosen to
support projects and activities that made a genuine difference in the lives of the citizens and communities of
Lawrence, Limestone, Madison and Morgan counties. Calhoun graduates have gained skills and knowledge that
make them competitive in the workforce, thus allowing
them to create a better and more productive life for them
and their families.
Public funding has sustained the College for 54 years.
Foundation donors have provided the resources
that positioned Calhoun as the premiere community college in the state. Area businesses
and industries and individual donors supplied a necessary link in our chain of success by directing private resources to
develop educational programs that meet
community needs.
During Dr. Carpenter’s ten years of service,
Calhoun has developed programs that
will have a lasting effect on the lives of
its students. Calhoun Community College has had an impressive six USA
Today Academic All-Americans. The
College’s Huntsville campus is the
only community college in the nation
located in a major research park, and
through innovative partnerships,
houses the North Alabama Science
Center, BizTech and Huntsville City
School’s New Century Technology High
School. And, the College is currently completing construction of the $41 million Technology Park on the Decatur campus, bringing
national and international attention to our state.
The 2001 Annual Report is a tribute to all
of the community-minded businesses and
caring individuals that give their time, talents and funds to Calhoun Community College. We thank all of you for affording us the
opportunity to set higher standards for education in north Alabama.
It has been a privilege to work with Richard Carpenter. On
behalf of the Foundation Board of Directors, I thank him
for his dedication to ensuring that Calhoun Community
College continues to be the standard by which other colleges are compared.
