I am continually amazed by what happens at Roane State.
Being here, every day, the extraordinary opportunities at this small East Tennessee community
college can start to seem routine.
But then I have a moment or two when I can step back and take a minute to soak in the simply
astounding initiatives led by our faculty and staff.

Roane County Campus
Stanley E. Keylon coached Roane County High School tennis players for more
than 20 years, and although he retired, his passion for the sport never waned.
To continue promoting tennis in the region, Keylon donated $34,000 to the
Roane State Foundation for resurfacing of the eight tennis courts at the main
campus. Keylon’s vision is for the refurbished courts to provide a venue where
more young people from the community can learn the sport.
Campbell County Campus
Jellico High School graduate Kendra Ivey received a Presidential Book and
Materials Scholarship from the Roane State Foundation. Ivey chose to receive
an iPad, and it has made a big difference in her studies. Ivey had no access to a
computer at home, and the iPad provided her with a variety of apps and programs
to help her learn. Campus director Tracy Powers said, “I’m not sure I have ever
awarded a scholarship to a student who has been more grateful than Kendra.”
To learn how you can contribute to scholarships for Roane State students,

Cumberland County Campus
Dr. Janice Poole has been named director of the Cumberland County campus.
A 1976 graduate of Pearl River Community College in Mississippi, Poole earned
her bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1990, her
master’s degree from Southern Miss in 1996 and her doctorate in educational
leadership from Mississippi State University in 2006. She has served in education
for nearly 30 years and spent much of her career in community college leadership
positions.
Fentress County Campus
Pam May, director of the Fentress County campus, and Clarkrange High School
vice principal Judy Jones congratulated student Keli Stephens, who is on track
to graduate from Clarkrange with an incredible 39 hours of college credit thanks
to dual studies courses offered by Roane State. In Fentress County, the Dr. Guy
Pinckley Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for dual studies students, and
SouthEast Bank assists with textbook costs. Stephens plans to enroll at
Tennessee Tech University and major in chemistry.
Knox County Campus
An Ivy League school called on Roane State to teach medical students how to
respond to emergencies in the wilderness. The Continuing Healthcare and Safety
Education Department, based at the Knox County Center for Health Sciences,
has offered its wilderness first responder course locally for years. Last fall,
program leader Kirk Harris and instructor Fred Baty taught a two-week
4
wilderness and disaster medicine course for 10 fourth-year medical students
from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine. One
student said the Roane State course was the “highlight of medical school.”
Loudon County Campus
Innovation Valley and the Economic Development Agency of Loudon County
partnered with the Loudon County Education Foundation to fund Loudon
County high school students in dual enrollment classes at Roane State.
Innovation Valley is an investor-directed regional economic development
program designed to recruit, retain and expand business growth. Students
taking math and science classes for dual enrollment are eligible to receive
funds for tuition, books and calculators. Several students have been able to
take advantage of the funding.
Morgan County Campus
Anderson County Emergency Medical Services recognized student Amber
Kennedy of Sunbright for providing assistance during a medical emergency.
Kennedy was working at Ruby Tuesday in Oak Ridge when a customer
collapsed. Kennedy–who had taken a safety, first aid and CPR course at
the Morgan County campus–stepped forward and administered CPR. “We
wanted to recognize Amber because she got CPR training, which we highly
encourage because CPR saves lives,” EMS director Nathan Sweet said.
“And when she was called on to use it, she used it.”
Oak Ridge Campus
The $13.8 million Goff Health Sciences and Technology Building at the Oak
Ridge campus is progressing well. Classes are scheduled to begin there in
Fall 2014. The building will include 14 classrooms, seven labs, 37 faculty
offices, an adjunct faculty area, three conference rooms, two lecture halls,
15 student study areas and four computer labs. The building will be LEEDcertified for energy efficiency and have geothermal heating and cooling.
Scott County Campus
Roane State and Winfield School have teamed up to encourage middle school
students to start thinking about college early. Winfield principal Sharon Stanley
and Roane State associate professor Dr. Tressa Murphy developed the
Collegiate Achievement Through Student (CATS) Partnership as a pilot
program. Students in the program learn about what college can offer them
and how to get started. As part of the partnership, students participated in
College Student for a Day at the college’s Oak Ridge campus, where they
followed a college schedule, did science experiments, used iPads to create
artwork and learned about college programs.

Roane State Continues
Tradition of Embracing
Technology
by Owen Driskill, Alumni publications editor
Roane State was the first community college in Tennessee to offer
courses through live interactive video (1992), and the college has
provided Web classes for nearly 20 years.
Today, that tradition of innovation continues. As more technology
tools emerge—tablets, apps, 3-D printing—Roane State faculty
and staff evaluate them based on one key question. Does the tool
engage students? If so, then Roane State’s leaders want to try it.
6
“I would never use technology just for the sake of technology,” said
Dr. Diane Ward, Roane State’s vice president of student learning.
“Technology is a tool, and I have seen, first-hand, technology engage
students. In order for students to learn in the classroom, to learn
something new, they have to be engaged.”
(continued)

Student Mark Little (at

the classroom experience
then becomes one where
students learn from each
other.
(continued)
Associate professor of mathematics Kathy Arcangeli
moves from student to student—giving them advice,
offering them encouragement and checking their work.
The flipped classroom
strategy is one example
of innovative, technologydriven initiatives under
way at Roane State.
Students had already taken notes on the lecture. They watched it on video at home.
Instead, class time is devoted to working on math programs, giving students a chance
to collaborate as they seek solutions.
Arcangeli is piloting a flipped classroom, a teaching strategy in which students review
course material outside of class and then apply their knowledge in class. What
traditionally happened in class is now the homework. What was once homework
is now the class.
Flipped classroom instruction gives
Roane State associate professor of
mathematics Kathy Arcangeli more
time to work directly with students
during class.
iPads for Faculty
“It’s all as a group,”
he said.“It’s a lot
of activity as a
whole instead of
individually. I’d
rather have
everyone’s help
than just
individual help.”
Student Mark Little
In Fall 2013, Roane State
leaders committed to
provide every full-time
faculty member with an
iPad.
“In a time of a tight
budget, we have a
president and a chief
financial officer who were
willing to take a chance
and put some money
behind this because our
thought was that if it’s
a tool a faculty member
thinks they can use in
their classroom to engage students, we wanted them to have one,” Dr. Ward said.
“Our approach was to let faculty take them and see what they could do with them for a
semester. Then in the spring, we’ll talk about how to assess what worked and what did
not work.”

“In math, especially, I don’t know if I would be able to go home, open the book, and
do all kinds of homework and get it,” said student Amber Taylor of Tellico Plains.
“With the videos (lectures), you are forced to go home and watch your videos, and she
(Arcangeli) explains, and you take notes, and you are doing your homework but
it doesn’t feel like you are doing homework. And then you come in and work it out.”
Roane State’s IT staff outfitted many classrooms with AirServer software, which allows
students and faculty to stream their iPad to LCD projectors. The college’s library staff
manages app purchases and classroom iPad carts, and Roane State’s Center for
Teaching Arts and Technology provides training.
Nearly 65 percent of faculty requested iPads for Fall 2013. Faculty and staff now meet
regularly for “Appy Hours,” where they share apps tried in the classroom.

For example, paramedic
program director David Blevins
teaches functions of the lung
with an app called Living Lung.
As Blevins discusses how
lungs function, he and the
students can touch the parts
of the lung, rotate it and
see changes in circulation
patterns.
said Robert Benson, director
of library services and co-chair
of the college’s Ed Tech
Committee. “We don’t want the
technology to drive what we do.
We want the teaching to drive
what we do.”
“With the app, I can show
where the air goes instead
of just relying on the text,”
Blevins said. “You are putting
those words into function, into
a visual meaning behind the
written word.”
Roane State’s technology team
created an Engaged Learning
Environment, a classroom 2.0.
Rather than traditional desks
planted in rows, the Engaged
Learning Environment has
chairs on wheels that can be
easily configured for group work
and collaboration. The room
has bouncy, cushy seats called
buoys for kinesthetic learners
who best absorb information
while moving.
Teri Gergen, director of Roane
State’s occupational therapy
assistant (OTA) program,
utilized the library’s iPad cart
for an interesting project.
OTA students were asked to
identify apps that could be
used to improve a patient’s
motor skills, cognition, visual
perception, etc. Through the
AirServer software, students
projected apps onto a
whiteboard and then led
discussions about an app’s
strengths, weaknesses, and
methods for changing the
app’s intended use to achieve
specific therapeutic benefits.
How Blevins and Gergen use
apps reflects the teachingdriven approach Roane State
has adopted when utilizing
technology.
“I love the conversations
about mobile technologies,
apps and our classrooms,”
10
Engaged Learning
Environment
The space’s wireless
capabilities allow students
and faculty to easily collaborate
and to share their work on the
room’s flat-screen monitors.
The room does not have an
instructor station, which by
design means the faculty
member will move among
the students during class.
Dr. Susan Sutton, director of
Roane State’s Center for
Teaching Arts and Technology
and Distance Education,
registered Roane State for
SCALE-UP (Student-Centered
Active Learning Environment
with Upside-down Pedagogies),
based at North Carolina State
University. The Engaged
Learning Environment,
designed with faculty input,
will be ideal for flipped
classroom instruction
consistent with the SCALE-UP
initiative.
Students can watch lectures
and review materials out of
class. When they arrive in
the Engaged Learning
Environment, they can work
together on projects, create
and share content, and show
their work, all while the faculty
member guides and instructs.
“We asked faculty, ‘If we were
to build you a mobile learning
space, what would you like to
be able to do in that space?’”
Dr. Sutton said.
Even the bright colors of the
chairs have an educational
purpose. The different colors
allow a faculty member to
easily assign students to
groups. Students in red chairs
can be in one group, while
students in yellow chairs form
another.
“Faculty members wanted
environments where students
could work together,” Benson
said. “The solution is space
with flexibility.”
Additional Initiatives
Roane State is also
experimenting with
additional technology
initiatives to enhance
student learning.
• In fall 2013, most college
history classes began using
e-textbooks.
• The college’s art
program and advanced
manufacturing programs
are utilizing 3-D printers
for class projects and job
training.
• Roane State’s advanced
manufacturing
programs also have both
industrial and
training robots to
ready students
for careers in
automated
factories and
logistics centers.
“Not every tool fits every
faculty member, not every
tool fits every class, but it may
work for one,” Dr. Ward said.
“That’s the point. We need
to engage our students even
more.”
• Roane State is
collaborating with
other institutions
to provide an
online
phlebotomy
program, which
gives students
across the state
access to an
in-demand
healthcare
credential.

The Experience of a Lifetime
Each year, Roane State associate professor of biology Bruce Cantrell
takes a group of students to the Marine Resources Development
Foundation’s MarineLab in Key Largo, Fla. The Marine Resources
Development Foundation is a nonprofit organization devoted to
creating a better understanding of marine resources. MarineLab
hosts the foundation’s many education programs.
12
During their stay at MarineLab, students survey coral reefs located off
the Florida Keys. The students’ data is uploaded to a database hosted
by the nonprofit Reef Check Foundation. Based in Los Angeles, Reef
Check Foundation seeks to educate the public about reef ecosystems,
and the organization has created a global network of volunteer teams,
trained in Reef Check’s scientific methods, to monitor and report on
reef health. Scientists from all over the world utilize Reef Check’s data.

Spotlight (continued)
“Roane State is involved in real world, cutting
edge research on coral reefs, and the students
are doing it,” Cantrell said.
The students are all trained divers–Roane State offers beginning scuba
and advanced scuba courses–but they must also be conscientious
researchers who take careful notes as they swim along the ocean
floor and observe the reefs. At MarineLab, students start each day at
7:30 a.m., dive, collect data, take classes, dive some more and then
end the day at 11 p.m.
While the work is hard, the students have opportunities to visit with
leading experts in marine biology. During these casual gatherings
over meals or after dives, the students and the experts share ideas
and experiences as if they were colleagues.
Some students even stay overnight in a two-bedroom underwater
habitat, one of only two facilities of its kind in the world. One of the
evening’s highlights is enjoying pizza delivered in a special box
designed to handle the pressure of being 21 feet below the water’s
surface.
Enjoy these photos of Roane State students’ extraordinary adventure
under the sea.
“You can’t beat that kind of
interaction with some of the
world’s leading authorities in
this field,” Cantrell said.

2013 Outstanding Alumni
Two graduates with lifelong ties to Roane State have been named the college’s
2013 outstanding alumni.
The recipients are Chester Goad of Crossville, director of disability services for
Tennessee Tech University, and educator-turned-entrepreneur Melody Marsalis
Price of Lillington, N.C.
Dr. Goad started at Roane State in 1990, taking classes in Scott County. For a
period of time, he worked three jobs while pursuing his education.
“I took classes in a little red building; it used to be a lumber yard,” he said. “One of
my first classes was with my Dad, who was also seeking a college education. He
finished his four-year degree in business management before I finished my four-year
degree. For him, it was a dream come true.”
Goad was not far behind his father. He received his bachelor’s degree in
secondary education at Tennessee Tech, where he also earned a master’s
in instructional leadership. Goad completed his doctorate in educational
leadership (with an emphasis in special education) at the University of the
Cumberlands.
Goad has served as president of the Tennessee Association on Higher
Education and Disability (TNAHEAD) and as vice president of the
Tennessee Dyslexia Association. His work has been featured in the Journal
of Postsecondary Education and Disability, The Tennessean, Learning Ally’s
Access and Achievement, and the Jossey-Bass Wiley periodical Disability
Compliance in Higher Education. In 2012, Dr. Goad was honored by
TNAHEAD with the Dona Sparger Professional Service Award for his
commitment to issues of access for students with disabilities.
Price is the daughter of W. Carroll Marsalis, one of the college’s first faculty and
staff (affectionately known as the “Dirty Dozen”). Price recalled seeing her Dad’s
office back when the college opened in 1971. As she described it, the office “was
in a small house on the cutoff road between Midtown and Harriman.”
“Little did we know that the opportunity was a great one and that our lives would
be so positively affected by Roane State Community College,” she said.
Price graduated in 1980 and earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of
Tennessee. She taught special needs students before eventually starting her own
business, a boutique called Frox on Broad, located in Dunn, N.C.
Price is heavily involved in her community. She works with local domestic violence
prevention programs, volunteers with chambers of commerce, serves with civic
clubs and was the lead business proprietor for a municipal restoration
initiative.
Price traces her commitment to civic engagement to her time at Roane
State.
“Roane State gave me a very good jump start,” she said. “I was involved in
a lot of leadership activities that I probably would not have been a part of at
a larger institution. But then when I moved on in life, I carried that with me.”
“Roane State was a part of my preteen years, my teenage years and my
college years,” Price added. “The impact that Roane State has had on my
life has been outstanding. It’s home.”
“Roane State has meant opportunities,” he said. “I had the opportunity to
grow and meet lots of amazing professors who made a lasting impact on
me. I will never forget the roots that I have here.”
