Top-Notch Courses @ CCCs Price+ Unlimited Transfer Opportunities

= The Best Higher Education Bargain

Imagine earning a bachelors degree from aselective liberal arts college or an Ivy

League university say, Bryn MawrCollege or Smith College or the Universityof Pennsylvania for about half theusual cost.

Attend Camden County College, and noimagining is required: Graduateshave been doing so throughout thelast 40 years, just by completingthe first two years of their highereducation at CCC before transferring.

When CCC opened in 1967, a Camden County resident could take a full-time courseload for just $275 per academic year. Todays tuition rate isnt t

inexpensive, but its still a bargain compared to whats charged by public aprivate four-year schools especially the highly competitive institutions.

Today, a year of full-time study thats 12 to 15 credits per semester woulyou less than $3,000 in tuition at CCC. According to the New Jersey Commion Higher Education, youd pay more than double that about $7,000 for same credits at a state-supported four-year school and more than seven timesthat close to $20,000 for two semesters at a prestigious independent fouryear institution.

Best of all, Camden County College credits transfer. Bryn Mawr, Smith and have all accepted CCC alumni in recent years, and among the top 10 schoolsCCC graduates transfer to are nationally ranked Drexel, Rowan, Rutgers and

Temple universities.If you think you cant start here and go anywhere, think again. While yourethink of all of the transferable credits youll be earning and all of the money be saving.

It takes a smart person to earn a baccalaureate degree from a well-regardedschool. It takes an even smarter one to do so for a fraction of the cost.

Digital cameras are great for captur-ing life as its happening and record-

ing it for history. But a CamdenCounty College professor has begunusing one of these devices to capturehistory from records and bank a life-times worth of research materials.

Professor Christopher Gennari of the History Department experiencednecessity becoming the mother of invention firsthand during a 2007research trip to Stockholm, Sweden.He began studying letters related tothe 17th-century reign of KingCharles X in the RiksarkivetNational Archives. But he found thenarrow, squeezed-together script onthe documents extremely difficultand time-consuming to read using just the standard magnifying glassand paper handwriting-decoder.

Running out of the time and money,Gennari had to develop a way tocapture the materials he needed andget them back to the United States.Photocopying was out of the ques-tion due to both cost per page(totaling $15,000) and cost and

bulk of transporting home whatwouldve been 24,000 pages (weigh-

ing a half-ton).

Conventionalphotoswouldvebeen evenmore expen-sive. Thatmethodwouldverequired 695rolls of 36-frame film plus development plusconversion to disk. Altogether, thiswouldve cost Gennari about $30,000.

Instead, Gennari invested $1,500 ina high-end digital single-lens reflexcamera and began shooting digitalphotos without using flash, as thelight would damage the centuries-old papers. He then stored some of images on the hard drive of the lap-top hed brought from home andinexpensively purchased 15 record-able disks to hold the rest.Everything fit easily into his carry-on luggage for the flight back.

Once in the U.S. again, Gennarimoved his images onto his desktop

personal computer. He then catego-rized, chronicled and stored themusing Googles free Picasa software.

Gennari could now read the docu-ments at high resolution at his leisure,24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Using digital photography,researchers can use what they digi-tize anywhere in the world andeffortlessly share these archival doc-uments with colleagues thousandsof miles away, he said. Using easi-ly accessible photographic andcomputer technology, a researchercan amass a lifetime of researchduring a short trip to an archive,allowing for a deeper level of long-term scholarship.

Gennari hopes that other scholarsincrease their own reseach efficiencyby following his example. To thatend, he shared his experiences in anarticle in the debut issue of theInternational Journal of Digital Cultureand Electronic Tourism.

Course-SupportImprovementsThe demand for Internet-based col-lege courses and the ability to meetthe needs of non-traditional stu-dents continues to grow, but thelack of real-time interaction betweenstudent and instructor can hinderlearning. Determining if adding reg-ular Web conferencing to supportonline and classroom courses willcorrect this problem is the goal of agrant-funded study under way atCamden County College.

ProfessorLesterOwens isconductingthe studyTheImpact of BlendedLearningTools: An

Elementary Algebra SynchronousLearning Research ProjectExamining Web Conferencing as an Alternative Strategy to EngageLearners Off-Campus. His project is

funded by a $15,000 grant fromThe Christian R. and Mary F.Lindback Foundation.

Owens holds a bachelors degreefrom West Chester University and amasters degree from RichardStockton College. He is pursuing adoctorate at Northcentral Universityand a synchronous learning expertcertification from InSync Training.

Owens became a full-time facultymember in 2005 after serving formany years as an adjunct. He alsohas been the owner of CulturalSoftware Design since 1991 and reg-ularly gives community presenta-tions on New Jerseys African-American history.

In 2006, Owens was named an EOFChampion by the New JerseyEducational Opportunity Fund forhis devotion to serving the specialneeds of his students. He also hasserved as advisor to the CollegesUrban Unity Club.

Art faculty flies soloin Philadelphia showProfessor Gregory Brellochs presentedhis most recent body of work in an exhi-bition at AXD Gallery in Philadelphiaduring September and October.

Symbiote Hybrids consisted of a com-prehensive series of works executed overthe last two years. In creating them,Brellochs explored the use of ink andvarnish on wood panels to realize free-form organic abstractions.

Brellochs previously presented solo showsat Camden County Colleges BlackwoodCampus gallery, Clay College in Millville,the Pennsylvania Academy of the FineArts in Philadelphia and Opus One inMunich, Germany. In 2007, he was oneof 12 artists selected to show works in the30th annual Samuel S. Fleisher ArtMemorial Wind Challenge Exhibitions.

His two-dimensional work is in the reg-istry of contemporary drawings at NewYork Citys The Drawing Center.

If You Need the Best Tech Training Around,Who You Gonna Call? Rich Dolan!

Its common for a student to have a favorite teacher or for aclient to favor a particular trainer. Its not an everydayoccurrence, however, for a national corporation with officesin major cities like Detroit and Houston to demand the servicesof an instructor from a small town in New Jersey to educate itshigh-level engineering technology employees.

But thats exactly what happened with Division of Continuing Education instructorRich Dolanand the Comcast Corp. Comcast flew Dolan 1,700 miles to its top guncenter for new product design in Denver so he could deliver Certified NetworkAssociate training there. His previous work with Comcast employees in the

Philadelphia region particularly in terms of the methodology and expertise that hedemonstrated so impressed corporate executives that they wanted no one but him.

Dolan started out 14 years ago as a computer technician who also gave instruction inWindows and AutoCAD. He has since earned and instructed the following certifica-tions: CISCO, Certified Network Associate, CISCO Certified Network Professional,Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, A+, Linux+, Windows 2000, Network+ andSecurity+. He knows that they wont be the last that he masters.

We have to really keep up with the technical side because you cant stay currentwithout constant learning, Dolan said. Its not English 101, so you really have toembrace lifelong learning to stay ahead of the curve.

If the demand for his services is any indication, it looks like hes doing just that.

I wanted to be a doctor and com-bine a holistic and nutritionalapproach, says Schramm, whodecided to go into optometry whileworking as a personal trainer and atGNC. The eye is not only the win-dow to the soul. It is a keyhole tothe body.

Schramm finished his bachelorsdegree at Rutgers and continued hisstudies at Nova SoutheasternUniversity College of Optometry inFort Lauderdale, Fla. During hisfourth year, Schramm took an oppor-tunity to go to China and teachvision therapy to 10 optometrists andtwo ophthalmologists at Tianjin Eye

Hospital. He recalls the experienceas humbling.

My Chinese friends were amazedthat my condo had an air condition-er, a microwave, a stove withoutan oven and a washer without adryer, he says. There are manythings we take for granted.

Schramm was pleased to have theopportunity to serve the people of Tianjin.

Tianjin Eye Hospital is to China asBascom Palmer in Miami is to the

United States, he says. It is thebest the country has to offer, and I

was very proud to be part of it until August 2007.

Following his internship in China,Schramm received his doctorate inoptometry in 2008. Now an opto-metric physician at Lange Eye Associates in Ocala, Fla., he aims totake a preventative role in eye care.He specializes in nutrition, educat-ing his patients on how diet canaffect their vision.

Nothing gives me more satisfactionthan seeing my patients visionimproving, especially when theywere told by other doctors that therewas no chance for improvement,Schramm says. I am not a miracleworker. I just try to educate mypatients in what their body needs,and their body takes care of the rest.

When the proper nutritional foun-dation is in place, amazing thingscan happen.

What Have You Been Up to Since Graduation?I was a professional student for awhile, finishing my bachelor of arts degree, getting my master of arts degree andentering a doctoral program, until a paying profession lured me away from a doc-torate from Temple.

Favorite Memory of CCC:I was privileged to teach at Camden County College from1992 until I moved to New York City in 2004, and I always had fun classes. In one,as I turned from the board, I noticed that one student had decided to put his headdown and wander off to sleep. Every student in the class quietly ripped out a pieceof paper from their notebooks, balled it up and, on my cue, pummeled the poor guywith paper bombs! Good times, good times.

As students learnthe history and evolution of American mass media, they come tounderstand how the media operateswhile they develop analytical andcritical skills involving the obviousand subtle effects that media haveupon our society and culture.

Students who enter this field usual-ly are creative, seeking a career dif-ferent than the standard 9-to-5 job,said Professor Drew Jacobs. Theyare looking for experiences that dif-

For most of my classes, she recalls, I was the onlfemale in the room.

This projecresulted in her receipt of a TeachingNote Award from the Stillman SchoolBusiness at Seton Hall University andthe New Jersey Policy ResearchOrganization Foundation of the New Jersey Business and Industry

Association. I was very surprised when I found out I had won the award, Asaid, and I was elated because the award was given to me by my peers.

Aria has developed and taught many courses and programs, but said she partlarly enjoyed her work with GED students enrolled in the Camden City CamGateway Program. She offered credit workshops on topics such as personal bets and protecting finances from credit card loopholes.

Graduate SpotlightAlthough it doesnt take a genius to realize a good

choice when its made,Christine Gingerichis one. Agenius, that is.

Gingerich belongs to Mensa International, an exclusive soety whose members must score among the top two percent

the population on an approved intelligence test. The group,founded in 1946, has a membership of only 100,000 people in

100 countries throughout the world.

College, however, wasnt in Gingerichs immediate future when sgraduated from Triton High School in 1992. She decided to take a y

off and found a good job in information technology. That one year tuinto many years. But life was good until she was laid off unexpected

She knew she needed a degree.

Something had always prevented me from enrolling, Gingerich said. Tlayoff actually forced me to rethink my goals.

In 2004, the Edgewater Park resident decided to attend Camden County ColleAs an adult student, she said, she took her selection of college more seriously t

she might have years before.

I picked Camden County College because I knewit was a good school and a good deal for me

financially, she said. When its your own money,you spend it wisely.

Gingerich feels she made the ideal choice. In 2006,she completed an associates degree in business

administration. In 2007, she earned a second associ-ates degree in information systems.

I received a great education here, with the best professors,she said. They not only knew the materials but had a deepmotivation to express it clearly.

Gingerich is now attending Drexel University with her brother,Timothy, who is a fellow CCC graduate. She said her son

Stephen, 13, plans to begin his higher education here as well.

Some people have the mistaken idea that community colleges offer less of an education than four-year schools, Gingerich said. That simply is not true. My

education here was fantastic. I learned so much, and if giventhe chance, I would do it all over again.

Visualizing the Future

Meet the Office Managerfor Registration Services

Zaida Esteras, the acting office manager for Camden County Colleges Office ofRegistration Services, doesnt just know what its like to help students register forthe courses they need to achieve their education and career goals. She also knowsvery well what its like to be on the other side of the registration equation.

Esteras is now working toward a bachelorsdegree in accounting from Thomas EdisonState College. She prepared for her currentstudies by earning an associates degree inaccounting from CCC.

When I was a Camden County College stu-dent from 1991 to 1993, we had to wait inlong lines for registration, she recalls. Toget their prime schedules especially the verypopular science courses students wouldcamp out, and the lines would be out the doorand around the building at times.

Todays registration process is much smootherthan it was a decade and a half ago. One

thing, however, remains the same: the need to register as early as possible.Esteras advises current students to take advantage of the priority registrationperiod, when payment is deferred and the likelihood of getting first-choice coursesis at its highest.

Students should take advantage of the convenience provided by the registrationtechnology that is available, such as the online WebAdvisor system, she says.They also should familiarize themselves with the Colleges policies and key dead-lines for registering and payment.
