Happenings At Harper In this issue
Co-op Education at Harper Campus 
Co-op is an academic class which blends classroom learning with practical work experience. Instead of attending class in a traditional classroom, students work with an employer, for a semester, in a position directly related to their field of study. Students are required to have a 2.5 GPA and meet co-op requirements that are determined by the specific department and the state of North Carolina. Co-op is offered in the following programs at Harper: Advertising & Graphic Design, Graphic Arts & Imaging, Welding, Non-destructive Examination, Electrical/Electronics, Construction Management, and Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration. For additional information, contact Linda Moorer at 704.330.4419. AIGA Member Spotlight: Kathryn Vance AIGA is the professional association for graphic designers. It is a national association, and there is a local chapter in Charlotte. I am pleased to inform you that the Charlotte chapter has selected one of our students for its monthly Member Spotlight. Kat Vance is the president of the CPCC AIGA Student Group and is one of the strongest leaders in our program. To my knowledge, this is the first time that a student has been selected for the Member Spotlight. You can see it here at the Web site: www.aigacharlotte.org/blog/post/102. We’re very excited and proud of her! - Kenn Compton November 22 November 25 and 26 Library Corner Do your students need help with research? Sign up for a library instruction class with me! I will come to your classroom and teach your students how to use the library’s catalog and databases, as well as how to get started with research. Classes are completely customizable and can be short (a quick introduction to the library) or a complete class featuring all areas of the library. I prefer to instruct a class in which students are already working on an assignment, so they get the most out of our time together. Please visit the library’s homepage (www.cpcc.edu/library) to sign up for a class – or stop by the library! Open Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. To get started, contact Julie Chandler Obst, Harper Campus library manager, at ext. 4418. - Julie Chandler Obst Microsoft Office Basic Fall Training During November, Professional Development is offering a series of Microsoft Office Basic certificate training courses at each campus to assist employees with gaining valuable Microsoft technical skills they can use in their current position, and prepare them for other opportunities at CPCC.
