EXPLORE, DISCOVER, and SHARE FOOD: learning through community, community through learning
by Laura Yoo
Assistant Professor, English
September 14, 2010 Question: A counselor from Student Support Services, the Coordinator for Co-Curricular Programs, a math faculty, a nursing faculty, and an English faculty find that they have something special in common. What is it? Answer: They're all in the same learning community! They will get together two times a month (yes, for the whole year!) to read, to discuss, and to discover service learning and the First Year Experience. They will share food, they will get to know each other, and they will build professional relationships that will enhance how they do their respective core works at HCC. <<more>>

| WAC: Funny Acronym, Serious Purpose by David Buck,
Assistant Professor, English

Perhaps the advantage here is that the acronym “WAC” is both easy to say and remember; it seems to stick in one’s brain. Whatever the case, the WAC program is poised to make a significant impact on the pedagogical practices of every discipline and to re-invigorate student writing at HCC. <<more>>
| "FacultyWeb" Network Storage by Steve Horvath
Professor, English
March 15, 2010 Many faculty who have been long-time users of FacultyWeb Network storage simply think of it as the "W: drive" because this is how we access it in our classrooms and on-campus offices. Each credit faculty member, full- and part-time, automatically has an individual FacultyWeb folder created after completing the required online training for new college employees. <<more>>
