Thanks for sharing this good news!

As a bit of news for the MA area, the latest offering of the ACA Board Exam for Phlebotomy has brought the total percentage of passing to 95%. This is great news for the program since most employers are seeking this certification as a requirement for employment.

The Wedding Cake exam..


Instructor John Angeline gives a final exam...

The “final exam” in the Wedding Cake – Assembly and Decoration course is a practical test of each students decorating skills and abilities. Using their own ideas, along with knowledge gained in class, students have two hours to decorate a three-tier wedding cake. These photos show the cake designs that students created in this semester’s class.

Assessment Summit held 4/3 at MCCC in Pottstown.

Bucks County Community College along with 7 other two-year colleges organized this conference on Assessment. Linda Suskie, the VP of the MIDDLE STATES COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION, represented most of the day. Her excellent presentations that included topics such as "Fostering a Culture of Assessmen," "Faculty Owernship of the Process," "Assessment Toolbox" etc. were interesting and insightful.

Approximatley 20 people from BCCC attended this conference including the CORE Liaisons from most departments.

Please see me if you would like an overview of the day and/or have any questions/concerns about our assessment efforts at BCCC.

Thanks!
