By: RACHEL CANELLI ,The Intelligencer

"The group took shape in BCCC Professor Tracy Timby’s “computers in law offices” class. The students researched the subject, and when they interviewed those in the legal community, they found people wanted such an organization. Timby, a Newtown attorney, is also director of the BCCC paralegal program"

Assistant Academic Dean Tom Zaher welcomes the semester and two new faculty members...

Welcome Bruce Imber from MonkeyHill and Greg Luce from the League for Innovations. Both new faculty members will be supporting our Management/Marketing Area .

Stay tuned for John Angeline's BAKING podcasts.

John Angeline reports that he is working on some PODCASTS to support his baking class. These 10-12 minute audio files will be available on I-Tunes University very soon. He'll keep us posted on his progress and the reaction of his students. Thanks John.

THREE FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL!


The Accounting Area in conjunction with the Management/Marketing area and Social Science Area are coordinating an effort that would allow students to take three courses at the "same" time and earn 10 credits in a semester. Still in the planning stage, this scheduling tactic would require students to come to campus ONLY once weekly and take the courses in a revolving fashion. All three HYBRID courses will be supported by BbVista throughout the semester.
