  • Flexible Class Formats Coming For Fall

    Posted June 11, 2020 at 12:28 pm

    Pennsylvania Highlands Community College has developed five different types of classroom instruction into their fall 2020 course offerings. The new offerings were created to ensure that all students feel comfortable and safe within their preferred learning environments.

    Dependent upon individual preference, students may register for the following five different instructional formats: split section, virtual classroom, online, in-person, and hybrid.

    CLASS FORMATS

    • Split Section Instruction (1/2 Face-to-Face and 1/2 ZOOM instruction)
      Split section classes are offered two days per week, where part of the class is on-campus one day, while the other day is conducted via ZOOM at the student’s preferred location. Below is an example of a Monday/Wednesday schedule.
      • Mondays: Half the class meets in-person, while the other half meets via ZOOM.
      • Wednesdays: Half the class meets via ZOOM, while the other half meets in-person.
    • Virtual Classroom Instruction
      Students will participate in class virtually through ZOOM at a scheduled day and time each week. Students will get to choose their preferred day of the week when registering for classes.
    • Online Instruction
      Online classes will be taught 100% online and will not be scheduled to meet on specific days or times. Online classes will have weekly assignments, readings, forums, tests, and activities. These classes are reading and writing intensive. It is recommended that students enrolling in these classes have strong time management, reading, and writing skills.
    • In-Person Instruction
      In-person classes meet physically on-site each week. Classes will meet one, two, or three days per week at scheduled times, with smaller class sizes in order to comply with social distancing guidelines.
    • Hybrid Instruction
      Hybrid classes are a combination of in-person and online instruction. Students must attend class physically on scheduled days and times. They must also complete online assignments, readings, activities, and projects.

    “Split section classes are a new concept for Penn Highlands,” stated Barbara Zaborowski, interim Vice President of Academic Affairs. “This format will allow us to have students on-campus and face-to-face with faculty while maintaining mandated social distancing rules. In addition to social distancing, students will need to wear face coverings while on-site.”

    SAFETY MEASURES

    In order to adhere to social distancing mandates, class sizes have been reduced to allow for both students and faculty to interact in a safe environment.

    Access to the college’s computer labs and the library will be readily available for students at the Richland Campus. All computer lab and library areas will be monitored and sanitized regularly, while every other computer workstation will be available for use in order to maintain proper social distancing.

    Students are required to wear face coverings at all college locations. Hand sanitizing stations will also be available at each entrance; students will be encouraged to use them prior to entering any college facility.

    CONTACT INFORMATION

    For questions pertaining to the new classes listed above, please contact Admissions at 814.262.6446 or admissions@pennhighlands.edu. Summer office hours for Admissions are Monday through Thursday, from 8am to 5pm.

  • GJHS Students Receive Boost From Degree Program

    Posted June 8, 2020 at 2:46 pm

    The original column written by Joshua Byers, Education Reporter, and appeared in the Tribune-Democrat on June 6th, 2020. Click here to see the original sourced column. 

    Kaleya Smothers’ journey to graduation this year looked different than her classmates, not because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but because of the associate’s degree she was securing in addition to her high school diploma.

    “The experience of pursuing this degree was great for my education,” Smothers, a Greater Johnstown senior, said. “Not only did it give me a head start in my education, but it also prepared me for college. Now I am aware of some of the rules and expectations of higher-level education.” 

    However, due to the virus, Smothers, the salutatorian, had to complete her degree online.

    That didn’t pose much of an issue, she explained.

    “Luckily, I only had a few assignments left for my classes, so I was able to finish my classes with ease. I was able to finish the spring semester on the Dean’s List and I graduated Magna Cum Laude,” Smothers said.

    The online transition also wasn’t an issue because she’s had experience with that type of learning before.

    If anything, Smothers said she felt like she had more time to work on assignments that way.

    The school has been offering this degree to students through Penn Highlands Community College since the 2012-13 school year with that first set of students graduating in 2015-16, explained Kurt Hoffman, assistant principal and lead administrator for the program. 

    Since then, the school has had nearly 100 students graduate from Greater Johnstown with an associate’s degree in liberal arts at no charge because the district covers the cost. This year, there were 27 graduates who received their high school diploma and the degree.

    “We see this as an opportunity to be able to give the students something that can change their lives,” Hoffman said.

    He added that the district takes pride in “trying to level the playing field for members of the community.”

    “The associate degree in high school program is an economic game-changer for our families as well as our community,” Superintendent Amy Arcurio said. “By creating innovative partnerships that redefine education, it provides our students a significant head start into the community that desperately needs their contributions.”

    She added that Greater Johnstown is grateful for the partnership with Penn Highlands, who helped create “the most successful program in the Commonwealth.”

    With this degree, the students can either enter the workforce or transfer the 60 credits to a number of colleges and universities across the state that have partnerships with Penn Highlands.

    Hoffman explained that someone who completed the courses could effectively begin college as an academic junior and finish a bachelor’s degree in two years instead of four.

    The endeavor begins in eighth grade, when participants apply to be considered for the degree program.

    Hoffman said those who make the final cut then begin with classes in high school during their freshman year.

    The educators that teach the dual-enrollment classes are Accelerated College Education qualified, he added, and held to a high standard. 

    Entering their sophomore year, the students’ schedule begins to change with more study halls to accommodate the larger workload, and their junior and senior year, they spend half the day twice a week at the Penn Highlands campus taking classes. Some of the classes are taken online as well.

    “Greater Johnstown made taking the extra classes easier for all of us,” Smothers said. “Once we began taking classes on campus in our 11th and 12th-grade years, the number of classes we had with the high school decreased. Greater Johnstown did a great job of balancing our education between the high school and Penn Highlands.”

    Smothers decided to get her associate’s degree during high school because she has dreams of attending medical school and said she thought it would be a good opportunity to begin her “post-secondary education as soon as possible.”

    During her time taking the advanced classes, she said the course load was diverse and included subjects such as astronomy, intro to music, probability and statistics and others. 

    “The courses covered a variety of subject areas that can lead to different majors for post-secondary education or lead to a range of jobs,” Smothers said.

    As for the younger students possibly considering applying to begin the associate’s degree path, Smothers said it’s more than worth it.

    “This opportunity is great for a variety of students,” Smothers explained. 

    “If students are not sure what career field they would like to pursue, this liberal arts degree will allow them to experience a diverse set of classes. 

    “These classes will give them a foundation of learning in many subjects. Or even for people that are set on their career, it gives them the opportunity to get a head start on earning credits.”

    Obtaining the degree also provides “lifelong skills,” Hoffman said.

    These include time management, self-agency, a drive for excellence and being able to self advocate.

    “It’s really incredible the skills built from freshman year to senior year in the program,” Hoffman said.

  • WEDnetPA Announces New & Enhanced Guidelines

    Posted June 3, 2020 at 8:30 am

    The Pennsylvania Workforce and Economic Development Network of Pennsylvania (WEDnetPA) announced they are increasing company funding limits, as well as allowing greater flexibility in supporting the training needs of regional companies for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. This change is welcomed and much needed, particularly now that Pennsylvania unemployment rates have risen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    One major change includes a significant increase in company sectors eligible to apply for WEDnetPA state grants. The menu has broadened well beyond the manufacturing and technology sectors that the program was initially created for. This has been expanded to the point that it’s easier to list companies that are not eligible rather than listing the ones that are eligible.

    In addition to the expanded eligibility list, WEDnetPA has widened the types of training and number of employees that can be funded and trained. Contrary to previous years, the new 2020-2021 guidelines for employee training does not have to directly relate to the employee’s current job, which will provide more growth and advancement opportunities for many in our regional workforce.

    “Career Services and Workforce Development at Penn Highlands is very excited about the recent Pennsylvania state workforce training grant guideline expansions for the fiscal 2020-2021 year,” stated Larry Brugh, Dean of Career Services and Workforce Development at Penn Highlands Community College. “In our role as a state-sanctioned administrator of these funds, this is the first time in 20 years that we have seen new industry sectors added to the eligibility list. We look forward to working with all the existing and new company partners in facilitating this great investment for our region’s economy.”

    The improved WEDnetPA process only requires one application, a training plan, and a contract. Companies may receive up to $2,000 in training funds per employee and the funds are completely employer-driven, meaning the employer may choose the type of training, the methodology of training, and the trainer.

  • A Virtual New Beginning

    Posted June 1, 2020 at 10:53 am

    The original column appeared in the Tribune-Democrat , written by Dr. Steve Nunez. Click here to see original sourced column. 

    To me, the most exciting moment at the college each year is the May commencement ceremony.

    It is a celebration of the accomplishments of our graduates, where we recognize the hard work and dedication that is required to earn a credential. It is notable that the word “commencement” means “beginning” and not “ending,” as you might expect.

    It explains why so many commencement speeches include phrases such as “this is only the beginning of your journey” or “this is the beginning of an exciting, challenging, rewarding phase of your life.” Education is about a means to an end, not the end.

    I’ve been in higher education for 24 years and I have always enjoyed watching students walk across the stage at graduation, with family members hooting and hollering for their loved ones as they receive their diplomas. As an academic leader, I often had the opportunity to shake each graduate’s hand and wish them a hearty congratulations; both of us smiling uncontrollably in the moment.

    Many times, spouses, children, sisters or brothers would be waiting for them at the end of the stage to personally congratulate and embrace their loved ones as they held their newly attained diplomas. It is quite the spectacle and I loved every moment of it.

    As you might expect, commencement at Penn Highlands in 2020 was, well, much different. This year, with the help of talented and dedicated employees at the college, commencement was held virtually on May 15. The ceremony was reduced in scope with only a few of us speaking, but most importantly, we read the names of all 362 of our graduates.

    And while the ceremony was divorced from the hooting and hollering that I’m so used to and adore, it was still our privilege to orchestrate a ceremony for our graduates.

    Graduates were also informed that they could come to campus to drive by and grab their well-earned diplomas. More than 250 students visited us over several days with most coming with friends and family to celebrate their accomplishments along with our masked staff who handed them their diplomas through car windows.

    And while it wasn’t commencement, it was great to see the smiling faces of so many of our graduates.

    And so, we celebrate new beginnings for our graduates. I hope that they understand that this is not the end of their education, but that they will be reeducating and reinventing themselves throughout their lives.

    Perhaps they will earn more advanced degrees – or maybe they will partake in additional on-the-job training – or maybe they will take music lessons to learn to play an instrument. Education is more than just training for a profession – it can bring enjoyment, color, and texture to life.

    I am proud that Penn Highlands served our graduates well during this time in their lives.

    To all of our local graduates who missed out on so much of the pomp and circumstance, fun and excitement, and graduation parties – here’s to you!

    I hope you take full advantage of your education and move forward boldly into the future.
