Letter from
Presi
Dost.
Dear New and Returning StudeiGHJilSTUlJ^ |
May I extend this ‘‘welcome back” to the 1,000 plus'
students and the 500 plus new students? The Student Services
personnel, from our deans to our RAs, have been busy preparing for
your arrival. With the rain and the diligent efforts of our able
building, grounds and custodial staff, the campus has rarely been
more clean and attractive. 1 know you have found your old and new
friends as pleased to greet you as those of us in the faculty and
administration.
Some new programs and
faces will also be greeting you.
This summer we introduced the
fourth year of the medical tech
nology major, and this fall
the faculty in this area has been
expanded along with chemistry.
Additional faculty leadership
has been provided in the new
drama major with a person in
technical theater. Some new
faces may soon be seen as
sisting with the Learning Re
source Center, the Computer
Center and the Office of Career
Planning and Placement, as
funding arrives from a special
grant recently promised to At
lantic Christian College. Fac
ulty members who retired or
assumed new positions will be missed, but those who have come to
know our new faculty members in education, English, business,
religion and science are excited about the instructional interests and
capabilities each new teacher brings.
May 1 encourage each of you personally to launch your year with
the highest standards in study habits, class attendance and campus
activity involvement? The best way to keep from getting behind is to
discipline yourself to start today. Your goals will be better met and
the campus spirit will be the best ever with each person involved and
enjoying the learning and leadership possibilities.
Last fall we enjoyed outstanding seasons in women's tennis and
men’s soccer. 1 know we are all hoping for another district
championship—and beyond. The SGA has a wide range of activities
planned; the same is true for the Student Center and several of the
campus organizations. It will be a busy fall.
I plan some special breakfasts with student groups, and some
“Listening Luncheons” with students and faculty as sessions to share
ideas. I also plan to continue the Council of Presidents' monthly
dinners at which we coordinate many activities among the campus
organizations and disseminate information in an effort to enhance
better campus communication.
Please remember my office operates on an ‘‘open door” policy. If I
am not in conference or meeting some deadline, I will be happy to
meet with you; and if I’m unable to assist with your interests or
questions, 1 will help direct you to the person who can. Best wishes
for an outstanding year.
Expanded
Last year was the first year of
operation for The Learning
Place, a service provided to the
college by the Department of
English and Modem Lan
guages. This year, because of
additional funding, the name is
being changed to The Learning
Resource Center and the pro
gram is being expanded into
several new areas.
Directed by Dr. Thomas G.
MacLennan, assistant professor
of English, the center is staffed
by trained peer tutors and
volunteers who have had ad
vanced training in the teaching
of reading and writing as well as
peer tutoring methodology.
The Learning Resource Cen
ter Program is designed to help
students with college level read
ing and writing assignments
and to expose them to a variety
of study skill strategies. The
program can be helpful to
students who do not understand
a reading or writing assign
ment. It can demonstrate effec
tive study/reading approaches
that help students recall impor
tant points when they prepare
for examinations. It can also
demonstrate the steps behind
thinking, planning, organizing
and editing a college-level
writing assignment.
This year’s plans will be
expanded to techniques in im
proving memorization and re
call, planning effective time*
management, improving listen
ing skills, preparing effectively
for standardized tests and deal
ing with test anxiety.
The Learning Resource Cen
ter is located on the second floor
of Hardy Center and will be
open Monday through Friday
after Oct. 1.

W orkshop
Thirty-nine students partici
pated in a one-day workshop on
Thursday, August 20, for their
roles and responsibilites as
