Georgia Highlands College’s Dental Hygiene program will hold its last information session for the 2021 Admission Cycle on Thursday, Feb.11, at 6 PM, in Centre Stage at Heritage Hall.

“All students who plan to apply for admission to the program must attend at least one session in the 12-month period prior to the application deadline, which is March 15 for the 2021 Admission Cycle,” Director of Dental Hygiene Regina Gupta said. “We encourage any student interested in a career in dental hygiene to attend and to attend early.”

The information session will include discussion of the application process, including all prerequisites for the program. Attending early can help students as they select prerequisite courses.

Face masks are required to enter the building and during the session. Temperature screenings will be conducted as each attendee enters the building, social distancing will be practiced during the session and attendance is limited to 25 people.

Because each applicant must attend one information session in the 12 months prior to March 15, event officiators encourage students to attend alone or to bring a maximum of one guest.

Each student who attends the session will receive a certificate of attendance that must be submitted with the application to the program.

Reservations must be made through School of Health Sciences Administrative Assistant Kelly Rice at krice@highlands.edu, or by calling the GHC Dental Hygiene office at 706-295-6760.

Georgia Highlands College (GHC) student Muhammad Hanzala’s recent undergraduate chemistry research has recently been published in the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) Proceedings Journal.

This April, Hanzala will present his work at the virtual NCUR 2021.

Hanzala’s road from research to publication began during his Chemistry 1 class with Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Hanzala’s research advisor Erin Shufro.

His findings can be found among other research papers in NCUR’s Proceedings Journal for 2020, available at http://libjournals.unca.edu/ncur/2020-2/

“Professor Shufro and I were looking for research projects to do and I noticed at my work that the amount of pentane, an expensive chemical, being used in fragrances was excessive,” Hanzala, who works as a media and marketing analyst for a fragrance company, said.

Hanzala said after discovering the problem, he and Shufro brought the method to GHC labs, refined it and made it cost effective, successfully reducing the price of an extraction.

“The experiment involved a lot of chemistry, so it was befitting that the research was done as a part of a chemistry class,” Hanzala said.

Hanzala added he was surprised and excited to learn that his research had been accepted by the organization and that GHC gave him the tools he needed to take his research to the next level.

“One of the most important things that GHC has is very easy access to brilliant professors who are always ready to guide and connect with me,” Hanzala said. “Throughout the research, the practice for presentation and the effort to submitting the research for publication, I always felt like I had the backing of all of GHC’s faculty.”

Hanzala is a member of GHC’s Honors Program, lives in Cartersville and attends classes at the Cartersville site.

In addition to publishing academic journals, NCUR promotes undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for college students. The conference sees presenters from all institutions of higher learning and disciplines, creating a unique environment for the celebration of undergraduate student achievement while also providing models of research, scholarship and creative activity.

Through a coordinated effort with local healthcare facilities, students in the Georgia Highlands College (GHC) nursing program are using their skills at local vaccine clinics to help administer the COVID-19 vaccine.

“We are currently working to administer to healthcare providers, first responders, long-term care facility and adults age 65 and older who are part of Phase 1A [of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan],” Dean of Health Sciences Michelle Boyce said. “All first-year and second-year nursing students have the opportunity to help in this process.”

Nursing students take additional training modules related to safety and administration of vaccines while also wearing personal protective equipment as normally worn in labs and other clinical settings.

GHC partnered with the Georgia Department of Public Health in the Northwest Health District and with WellStar Health System to aid vaccine clinics throughout Northwest Georgia and Metro Atlanta.

After Shea Walker, assistant director of nursing, was asked by the Georgia Department of Public Health to assist in the administration process, the nursing school agreed without hesitation.

Boyce said having nursing students in the vaccine rollout process reflects GHC students’ commitment to helping the community.

“Our students have learned to adapt and work through a crisis,” Boyce said. “This partnership to aid in the vaccine rollout also helps to spotlight the role community and public health nurses serve.”

Please visit https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-19-vaccine-rollout-plan for more information on who is qualified for Phase 1A. Please visit https://nwgapublichealth.org/ to make an appointment for a vaccine.

Thanks to a new initiative by the University System of Georgia (USG), students at Georgia Highlands College (GHC) now have access to additional mental health support services.

The USG launched a comprehensive plan to significantly expand student mental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic back in November after Governor Kemp announced Georgia will allocate $11.5 million of the Governors Emergency Education Relief (GEER) funding, set aside by the federal CARES Act, to support mental health and student support services within the USG last August.

Titled Thrive@GHC, students can now connect to a continuously monitored mental health support line, online-based cognitive behavioral therapy and additional psychiatric services.

The resources are available for students any time by visiting sss.highlands.edu/thrive-ghc.

“Students can engage in no-cost telehealth and in-person treatment sessions provided by licensed mental health physicians, virtual psychiatric clinics to offer assessment and medication management, personal student navigators to assist with referral coordination and support, as well as a self-directed Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) program,” Director of Student Services Angie Wheelus said.

The 24/7 mental health support line, 1-833-855-0082, is for in-the-moment support and direction on the next steps a student should take when seeking mental health resources.

ICARE is research-supported, internet-based and mobile-friendly, self-guided cognitive behavioral training (ICBT) developed specifically for college students experiencing depression, anxiety, or both, who do not need psychotherapy.

In addition, there is FasPsych, free psychiatric services for currently enrolled GHC students. These services include evaluation as well as medication and prescription management. The cost of any prescribed medications is not covered by the service.

“Students have reported increasing feelings of depression, anxiety and loneliness, but it’s not just the pandemic causing an increase in the need for mental health resources,” Wheelus said. “Students are concerned about school, finances, housing, and much more.”

By clicking “The Wellness Hub” at Thrive@GHC (sss.highlands.edu/thrive-ghc), GHC students can also utilize an app and an online wellness magazine with educational content, self-help tools and more resource links. Additionally, GHC students may contact GHC’s Counseling Services at sss.highlands.edu for scheduling and referral.

Georgia Highlands College student Julianna Lynch will spend the summer immersed in French culture all while earning college credit thanks to the U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program.

With this scholarship, Lynch will participate in the University System of Georgia (USG) Goes Global study abroad program.

“I have always wanted to travel, and when I heard the study abroad program was planning to go to Paris, I absolutely had to apply,” Lynch said.

Lynch added she was surprised and filled with a sense of accomplishment when she learned she had received the scholarship. Typically, very few scholarship applicants are selected.

“I always felt that traveling abroad was a far-off dream,” Lynch said. “To see that I had been selected for the scholarship, knowing that their scholarship is very competitive and selective, I was simply amazed and honored.”

Spending much of her youth studying Parisian and French culture, Lynch utilized her personal experience to help craft her Statement of Purpose and Community Impact Essays required in the application process.

“I relied on what I already knew and strongly felt about travel, other cultures of the world and the correlation of broadening horizons and the positive impact it has on the community,” Lynch said. “I 100% encourage others to apply for the scholarship if the college has a place you’d like to travel to. Travel is one of those ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ things that can truly change your life, open your mind to new and exciting things and help make you a better person.”

According to www.gilmanscholarship.org, since 2001 the Institute of International Education has administered the U.S. Department of State’s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, which enables students of limited financial means to study or intern abroad, providing them with skills critical to national security and economic prosperity.

Georgia Highlands College Associate Professor of History David Hensley will be teaching during this year’s USG Goes Global Program. He said participating in study abroad programs provide an opportunity for students to see the world and learn about other cultures while also helping students gain perspective on life back at home.

“When I taught in Berlin in 2018, the students not only became acclimated to the rhythms of life in an international city, but they also developed friendships with fellow students from around the state of Georgia,” Hensley said. “For many – including myself – study abroad is a life-changing experience.”

For Lynch, being able to visit Paris will be a dream come true.

“Paris is such a beautiful, enriching place,” Lynch said. “The culture, arts, music, food, history, all of it is as if observing the apex of our modern world spanning back for hundreds of years. I know I will be forever marked by this trip, and I look forward to a vast myriad of things I will learn, not only from the incredibly interesting classes offered, but from the city itself.”

Lynch is in her second semester at GHC and is majoring in English. She lives in Cartersville and takes classes online.

Georgia Highlands College’s School of Business and Professional Studies will continue its virtual Entrepreneur Speaker Series this spring, kicking off Feb. 17 with actor and singer Jason Weaver, whose credits include the 1991 TV miniseries “The Jackson’s: An American Dream,” and providing the singing voice of Simba in the 1994 film “The Lion King.”

The series, which is free and open to the public, will also feature CEO, speaker and author Casandra Austin-McDonald, as well as writer, entrepreneur and creator J. Carter, whose most recent endeavor is the free streaming TV platform Freeli TV.

The Entrepreneur Speaker Series will connect successful entrepreneurs with students and the community to share stories and advice in a virtual format.

The series will run virtually from 12PM to 1PM on Feb. 17, March 17 and April 14. Participants can register through ess.highlands.edu or see more information and details about the speakers.

“Last semester’s Entrepreneur Speaker Series was very well received, and we are excited to offer this series again,” event moderator and Assistant Professor of Business Administration Shanika Wright-Turner said. “This semester you can expect entrepreneurs with fresh perspectives and those that talk about taking risks and bringing new ideas to life. We hope you ascertain what inspires, motivates, challenges and ultimately helps entrepreneurs succeed in the world today.”

Carter, who will be speaking on April 14, said he felt he had a responsibility to engage with students and help them learn about his path toward success. Carter’s newest project, Freeli TV, is the world’s first free linear streaming app offering multiple channels dedicated to Black Culture through tv series, music videos, movies, sports and more.

“I’m a big believer that when you give back, you get even more in return,” Carter said, “so it’s always been a mission of mine to help folks along their way just like I was helped along my way. When I was presented with an opportunity to be a part of this series, it was a no-brainer. I’d be disrespecting the folks who poured their knowledge and wisdom into me when I was a college student if I didn’t do the same.”

Carter added that participation in the Entrepreneurial Speaker Series is a valuable experience for the speakers as well.

“By letting students and viewers know about our newest venture, I hope to inspire them and offer them a blueprint for success,” Carter said. “In turn, speaking to young and talented people has a tendency to reenergize and inspire me to do more and be more.”

Andrew Aydin, the creator and co-author of the graphic novel memoir series “MARCH,” spoke to Georgia Highlands College (GHC) students on Tuesday, Jan. 12, during a virtual event. The National Book Award winning story focuses on the real-life experiences of late U.S Congressman John Lewis.

Aydin’s trilogy showcases the civil rights movement and is told from the perspective of Lewis. The congressman is best known for his chairmanship of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and for leading the march that was halted by police violence on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, in 1965, a landmark event in the history of the civil rights movement that became known as “Bloody Sunday.”

The virtual student event was moderated by staff members of the Six Mile Post, the GHC’s student newspaper.

Aydin spoke about his experience growing up as a Turkish-American youth in Atlanta, working to survive amid poverty and being raised by a single mother. He told students, faculty and staff about how he was able to accomplish his goals, largely thanks to a mentorship with Lewis and by following the values instilled in him by his mother.

“The idea that you can come from we called ’99 cent hamburger poor’ and stand on stage with a civil rights icon and hold up your comic book and say, ‘I deserve to be here’ – that was the highest achievement I have had,” Aydin said.

Aydin is a New York Times bestselling author, a National Book Award winner, a Robert F. Kennedy Book Award Honoree, a Printz Award winner, a Sibert Medal winner, a Walter Dean Myers Award winner, a two-time Eisner award winner and the recipient of multiple Coretta Scott King honors.

Reading comics from a young age and often having to borrow them because he could not afford to purchase them, Aydin said he was interested in comic books because the stories were often about “people doing the right thing because it was the right thing to do.”

“In comic books, these are characters that have gone through extreme trauma but still found a way to help people,” Aydin said.

Aydin then used that theme of altruistic action to co-author “MARCH” alongside Lewis and graphic novelist Nate Powell. According to the website of its publisher, www.penguinrandomhouse.com, the “MARCH” series is a “vivid first-hand account of John Lewis’ lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation.”

While based on Lewis’ personal story, it also reflects upon the lows and highs of the broader civil rights movement. Limited copies of “MARCH” were made available for students to take home.

“I think it’s just great for students to talk to someone who worked so closely with a person who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King and was on the frontlines of the civil rights movement, what it was like working with them and getting their first-hand perspective on that experience,” Cocurricular and Transition Programs Coordinator Clifton Puckett said. “On another level, it can be inspiring for students to engage with someone who’s taken an idea and passion of theirs and put It into a finished product.”

Georgia Highlands College has announced students named to the fall 2020 President’s List and Dean’s List. To achieve President’s List status, students must earn a 4.0 grade point average and attain a minimum of nine semester hours of credit. To make Dean’s List students, must complete a minimum of nine semester hours and achieve at least a 3.5 average.

Georgia Highlands College’s Josie Baudier recently took her knowledge in instructional design to the next level. The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning director recently saw her researched published in a national journal.

The scholarly publication was called “The Learner-Centered Instructional Designer.”

“This book is written for instructional designers as one way to support their needs in the field,” Baudier said. “Every chapter was derived from the needs and wants that most new instructional designers crave.”

Baudier wrote Chapter 7 for the publication, titled “Learning Online: The Internet Should be Used for More Than Just Do-It-Yourself Videos.”

While developing her chapter, Baudier said her editor presented her with the social learning aspect of online learning, which is something all colleges are having to consider amid the learning and instructional changes that are a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Faculty are often scared to approach and teach online because they have not experienced it themselves as students or because they have heard horror stories about it from their colleagues,” Baudier said. “In truth, online learning is an effective model of education – if done well.”

For her chapter, Baudier wanted to approach online learning in a way that better reflects upon that process as a whole due to the misconceptions that exist surrounding online learning.

“The best way to increase social learning is through collaborative projects with students,” Baudier said. “Conducting collaborative projects in the online environment can be very difficult – they are hard to facilitate in in-person classes, so online could add another layer of confusion and disengagement for students. The chapter provides some ideas and theoretical support about collaborative projects.”

Baudier came to the publication opportunity after working with the book’s editor, Jerod Quinn, a few years ago at the Professional Organizational Developers (POD) annual conference. Quinn is an Instructional Designer for the Course Design and Technology department at the University of Missouri.

“Quinn’s teaching center was new to having instructional designers and his boss wanted her team to meet other instructional designers,” Baudier said. “Through POD, I have connected and networked with several other faculty developers, and, in particular, instructional designers. We would meet for virtual check-ins and phone calls to share stories, techniques, documentation and workshop materials during the school year.”

Baudier said the group became a network within a network and “The Learner-Centered Instructional Designer” is the result of the individuals of that network combining their expertise in the area.

“Instructional designers need to have an arsenal of research-based ideas, techniques and strategies to support the faculty and guide them to make the best decision for student success in learning,” Baudier went on. “In addition, this book includes chapters about instructional design models, building faculty trust, online learning, universal design, motivation, metacognition, technology and even a chapter about designing courses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
