Education And Outreach Case Study: UNAVCO

In 1937, Meridian Community College (MCC) was founded as a part of Meridian High School in the local school system. In 1965, the College also formerly known as Meridian Junior College moved from its original location to its present location. In 1970, the College merged with the historically T.J. Harris Junior College according to a federal court order to the Meridian Municipal Separate School System. There were more than 400 students and faculty joined the MJC campus. In 1980, Meridian Junior College established its own district and Board of Trustees. In 1987, the College officially changed its name to Meridian Community College to reflect its mission and the diversity it provides to a growing community (http://www.meridiancc.edu/Assets/1pdfs/catalog/MCC_Catalog_2015-2016_Book.pdf).

The education score for Clark County is about 28.8 compared to the National score of 52.0. If to gaze deeper to this score, everyone can agree that Clark County score in terms of education is genuinely low. Education is one opportunity that is lacking from a lot of people. Either they do not have the proper resources to stay in school or they are not surrounded by people who inspire them to get an education. When looking at the average of on-time high school graduates, Clark County averages at 31.5% while the National is about 47.1%. No matter how you view it, the education score in the county is still lower.

This paper analyzes the case study of Valley Community College (VCC), which is one of the oldest community colleges in the nation. Since its inception in 1910, it has grown and expanded to over 25,000 students, and a faculty of 1,500. The largest student population consists of 38% Latino, followed by Whites, Asian Americans, African Americans, and Native Americans. The College is now operating at maximum capacity and has a waiting list for each location. In order to meet the growing demands of the community, temporary classrooms have been setup in a large portable trailer. Due to the financial pressures of the institution, a new building is currently not an option. In addition, many of the faculty members and administrators are expected to retire, which is affecting faculty and staff workloads as well as tension of program accreditations. These concerns are impacting the entire campus morale.

Grade seven outreach takes place at Western Technical Commercial School during various months of the first semester. Students from a profusion of different schools around Toronto, come to Western to participate in various dissimilar activities in the SHSM programs offered at Western. This is a great experience for the students who come to Western to participate in these collaborative, logical thinking and fun activities, because they meet new people and learn new useful skills that might inspire them to be in a SHSM when they enter high school. The leadership teachers designed an activity called chain of communication, which allowed the students to put there teamwork and time management skills to the text. My job as a leader was to ensure that everything was set up and clean when the new classes came to the classroom. I was also responsible for solving problems that arose, keeping track of time and encouraging students to get the task done.

Fresno Pacific University would help me develop professionally and personally. By continuing my education at FPU’s biblical seminary, I would gain a deeper understanding and application of theology and psychology. FPU will provide me the knowledge and tools to further my career/goal of becoming a MFT. FPU offers a mixture of theology and psychology courses that suit my personal and professional goals. I am excited about the program’s integration of psychology, theology, and practicum courses that are offered. The availability of faculty and astonishing education that FPU offers is the reason I have chosen to apply to Fresno Pacific’s MFT program.

Onondaga Cortland Madison Boards of Cooperative Educational Services, or OCM BOCES, is a public service entity that local school districts can buy into. OCM BOCES offers alternative educational programs such as K-12 special education, career and technology education, and adult education. These programs have continued to grow and develop, creating a demand for more space and relocation of departments. Many of the departments resided in buildings leased by OCM BOCES, so top administration decided their objective would be to eliminate as many of those leases as possible by making an investment in owning property.

Coming fresh out of high school, earth sciences was never on my radar as a potential future career field. There were no earth science classes available at my schools from kindergarten to 12th grade; I was only briefly exposed to the idea of it during a Georgia history class in middle school. I entered college as a biology major, but subsequently went through the common stage of frantic major switching after I encountered organic chemistry. In the end, I settled with geology after conducting mildly extensive research on what the major entails, the broad range of career opportunities, and the job availability; however, having no exposure to anything earth science-related, whether it be classes, hiking, or camping, I was initially hesitant in pursuing unknown territory. Yet, after a year of geology courses, I attained a compelling fascination with the subject, and particularly with the water science/hydrogeology aspect of the field.
