Several JCC faculty members were honored with Applauding Participation in the Learning Environment (ApPLE) awards this fall.
ApPLE recognizes scholarly research, grant awards, professional honors, creative presentations, and publication credits achieved by faculty. Recipients included:
JCC updated its transfer articulation agreements with UPMC Chautauqua and Bradford Regional Medical Center recently.
The agreements facilitate pre-planning for a career in radiologic technology as well as the transfer of credits from both hospitals’ programs to JCC.
Students can improve their likelihood of admission to either radiologic technology program by completing specified JCC courses prior to applying to UPMC Chautauqua or BRMC. The courses can be used toward meeting requirements for JCC’s Associate in Applied Science degree in individual studies.
JCC has received a $90,000 grant from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation to conduct a feasibility study on potential new academic and workforce programs.
The programs – identified as opportunities to train individuals for viable job growth in emerging, current, and innovative industry sectors – focus on agribusiness, culinary and hospitality management, robotics and automation, and clean energy.
International student enrollment at JCC is at a record high this fall with 53 international students representing 25 different nations and six of the seven continents.
