FACE Center Dedication Wednesday, March 30
Posted onMarch 31, 2011
Filed under Communicator | 171 Comments
The new OCCC Family and Community Education Center (FACE) will be formally dedicated this Wednesday, March 30, at 3:30 p.m. All OCCC employees are invited to attend the ceremonies.
Formerly John Glenn Elementary School, the newly renovated center was donated to the college by the Western Heights Public School District with help from the City of Oklahoma City. FACE received its first occupants last summer when the OCCC Community Outreach and Education (COE) department officially moved to its new home. After the first of this year, the OCCC Child Development Center and Lab School (CDCLS) joined COE in the facility.
With the addition of the FACE Center, OCCC has added over 75,000 square feet of space and has access to a 5,767 square foot gymnasium.
Adult basic education courses are provided at the FACE Center as well as courses to obtain the General Equivalency Diploma (GED). Other programs include Summer Kids Camps and adult personal enrichment classes including dance, language, computers, driver safety and music. Also, College for Kids and Teens, ACT Prep Workshops, adult continuing education classes, English as a Second Language and more can all be taken at the FACE center.
“We are grateful to the City of Oklahoma City and the Western Heights School District for the generous donation of the former John Glenn Elementary School,” said Steven Bloomberg, OCCC Community Development vice president. “The opening of this facility is offering so many more opportunities for our community, from adults to young children. I anticipate great things to come from our Community Outreach and Education department as well as the Child Development Center.”
“The location of the facility is perfect - we are definitely ‘in’ the community,” Mary McCoy, OCCC CDLC director, said. “We are now also able to serve more college students for observations and labs, and work together with Community Outreach and Education on a common goal.”
“This new facility provides the classroom space and the technology COE has so desperately needed to conduct our non-credit programs,” said Jessica Martinez- Brooks, OCCC Community Outreach and Education director. “Also, our programs and teaching staff have grown rapidly. The FACE Center has allowed us to provide classrooms, teacher workrooms and staff and counseling offices that ultimately better serve our students and the community.
For more information about the FACE Center or the dedication ceremonies on March 30, please call ext. 7859.

OCCC Leaders Break Ground for Theater Project
The dreams of many came true as OCCC broke ground for the next project on the college campus - the 1,000-seat Performing Arts Theater.
OCCC President, Paul Sechrist, members of the Board of Regents, theater campaign committee members, Oklahoma City Council members, OCCC students, faculty, staff and community members were all on hand for the afternoon ceremonies.
Dr. Sechrist recognized OCCC Leadership Council students who supported an additional fee that provided $8 million dollars in bond funding to cover half of the estimated cost of the facility. He also thanked the Sarkeys Foundation for their lead gift of $1 million dollars and the Inasmuch Foundation for supporting the campaign with $500,000.
Another two million dollars in donations from foundations, corporations and individuals, combined with OCCC capital improvement funds, have set the stage for construction to begin in early 2011. The expected completion date is December 2012.
“Before we actually break ground on this new project, let me first invite you to reserve a date for sometime in the spring of 2013, when we’ll be enjoying the first of many performances in the new theater,” Dr. Sechrist, said.
President Sechrist Serves as Guest Speaker at Downtown Rotary
OCCC President Sechrist served as guest speaker at Downtown Rotary Club alongside Wendy Smith, Vice President of the Fred Jones Family Foundation.
The presentation focused on the recent $50,000 gift to the Performing Arts Theater campaign by the Fred Jones Family Foundation as well as an update on the college’s groundbreaking for the Performing Arts Theater.
Pictured here are Oklahoma City Downtown Rotary President Elect Chuck Wiggin, OCCC President Paul Sechrist, Fred Jones Family Foundation Vice President Wendy Smith, and Chair of the Day, John Parsons.

America 101 Comes to OCCC Art Gallery
America 101, by Liz Roth, is comprised of 100 tiny oil paintings that capture the enormous beauty of the natural landscape found in each state in America.
On display in the OCCC Art Gallery Oct. 25 through Nov. 12, view Roth’s works this fall, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
In preparation for the project, Roth visited each state in the country to study its landscape, capture photographs, and complete on-site sketches and watercolor paintings. The images she gathered on her travels served as references for the final oil paintings she completed in her home studio in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The exhibit includes a U.S. map which highlights Roth’s route across the country as well as two images from each state arranged in columns. The works are laid out beginning with the westernmost states, such as Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington and continue around the gallery to conclude with the easternmost states. The order of the paintings allows the viewer to witness the rhythmic changes and diversity in the landscape of the country.
Roth is currently an assistant professor of painting and drawing at Oklahoma State University. Over the past few years she has been an artist in residence in Alaska, Wyoming, Vermont and Japan. Roth’s art has been acquired by many national and international collections including the Walker Museum of Art, Minnesota; the Museu del Joguet, Spain; the Museum of Awa Japanese Paper, Japan; and the KAIR Contemporary Art Collection, Japan.
The OCCC Art Gallery is located in the Visual and Performing Arts Center on the OCCC campus. For more information contact Scott Tigert at ext. 7579, or at stigert@occc.edu.
This exhibit is presented with the assistance of the Oklahoma Arts Council.

Breaking Ground for the New Performing Arts Theater
The OCCC Board of Regents, President Paul Sechrist, OCCC students, faculty, staff and community members will break ground for the 1,000-seat Performing Arts Theater, on Thursday, Oct. 7 at 2 p.m.
The Performing Arts Theater at OCCC will be one of the premier venues in the metro area designed to host major cultural events for the community and for the students of OCCC.
The $16 million theater will complete the architectural design of the OCCC Visual and Performing Arts Center.
Four years ago, students of the OCCC Leadership Council supported an additional fee that provided $8 million in bond funding covering half of the estimated cost of the facility. Lead gifts of $1 million from the Sarkeys Foundation and $500,000 from the Inasmuch Foundation initiated a community fundraising campaign. Another $2 million in donations from foundations, corporations and individuals, combined with OCCC capital improvement funds, have set the stage for construction to begin in early 2011. The expected completion date is December 2012.
“The college recognizes the vital role that the arts play in the economic and cultural life of the community,” Dr. Sechrist said. “This magnificent facility will enrich the educational and cultural opportunities for everyone.”
“The Board of Regents and I are grateful to the OCCC students for their vision and commitment to make the long-held dream of a large performing arts theater a reality,” Dr. Sechrist added.
“The college is also overwhelmingly appreciative to so many in the community, including the OCCC faculty and staff members who continue to invest in the college and the surrounding community. Together we are making a positive difference in the quality of life for everyone,” Dr. Sechrist said.

OCCC to Offer Degree Program in Leisure Service Management
Recently approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, OCCC will soon offer students the option of an Associate in Arts degree in Leisure Service Management.
Research has shown that there is a demand, both nationally and in Oklahoma, for leisure service management graduates. In fact, according to the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission in July 2009, a projected 21,500 more workers were needed in this field.
The amusement and recreation industry is projected to experience the fourth fastest employment growth in Oklahoma between 2006 and 2016.
With an Associate degree in Leisure Services Management, students will be equipped to work as entry-level recreation and leisure managers. Program activities, projects, and examples will help students connect their classroom experiences to real-world situations.
The career possibilities for student with this degree are quite numerous as the degree encompasses a wide variety of leisure-related management services. Jobs and careers working with municipal playgrounds and parks, seasonal sports programs, and special holiday events are some examples for students. Also, students with this degree may choose to lead community youth and family agencies such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YMCA, YWCA and others.
Students with an interest in the outdoors will have the opportunity to pursue several career possibilities related to outdoor recreation such as camps, parks or nature centers. In such settings students may become a state park manager, a nature center director, a national park ranger or interpreter, a youth camp director, or an environmental education specialist. Another career option in this field is commercial recreation which would involve employment possibilities at resorts, ski areas, health and fitness clubs, theme parks, and cruise lines. Additional opportunities exist within the area of travel and tourism with convention centers, airlines, and tourism promotion agencies.
Leisure services management students will learn what management is, what the manager’s role is, and how their work affects their agency and their customers. They will also explore specific management areas such as marketing, financial management, human resources, employee development, communication and evaluation. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to apply their own experiences to the concepts being discussed to deepen their understanding of the profession.
The degree program will consist of 61 total credit hours. Tulsa Community College is the only other community college in the state with an existing degree program.
Degree requirements include 42 credit hours in the following core courses: Intro to Leisure Studies, Laboratory in Leisure Students, Foundation of Leisure Service Leadership.
This degree program will bring OCCC to 77 programs, 48 associate degrees, and 29 certificates.

Fall 2010 Enrollment Numbers Expected to Increase Again
Soon, summer 2010 will be a thing of the past and fall classes at OCCC will be in full swing. Students planning to attend during the fall 2010 semester are being encouraged to complete the enrollment process soon as classes are filling up quickly.
Fall 2009 at OCCC was one for the record books with more than 14,000 students enrolled in classes at OCCC’s main campus, representing roughly a 14 percent increase from fall 2008.
This year, indications are that OCCC is on the path to another enrollment increase.
Last year OCCC adjusted to the increase by adding 140 new sections to the schedule. This year the college has already added 96 new sections.
In 2009, OCCC faculty members were asked to take on additional courses, class sizes were increased where space and equipment allowed, and vacant spaces were converted to classrooms. Many of the same accommodations will take place for the 2010 fall semester.
Extended enrollment hours at OCCC’s main campus will be available for student convenience from Aug. 9 through 27. OCCC’s hours for enrollment will be as follows:
• Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Saturday, Aug. 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Volunteers Needed for Opening Day on Aug. 21
The Office of Student Life is looking for volunteers to help with Opening Day on Saturday, Aug. 21 from 1 to 4 p.m.
Offered each semester, Opening Day at OCCC is a time for students and parents to visit the campus, ask last-minute questions, inquire about campus resources, find student’s classrooms and get acquainted with other students.
While here on campus, students can get to know their surroundings and enjoy popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones.
For Opening Day volunteer sign up, please contact Katie Treadwell at ktreadwell@occc.edu, or at ext. 7523.
Arts Festival Oklahoma 2010 Preview
Close out the summer with art, amazing vocal and instrumental music and a variety of mouthwatering menu choices at the 32nd annual Arts Festival Oklahoma (AFO), set for Sept. 4 -6 on the OCCC campus.
A celebration of visual, performing and culinary arts, the festival will include more than 100 visual artists, non-stop entertainment, a wide variety of food booths, and a children’s tent with hands-on arts and crafts.
Visual artists from Oklahoma and across the country will combine to offer a diverse collection of pottery, sculptures, paintings, photography, glass work, jewelry, woodwork and many other handmade crafts.
This year’s featured artist is Oklahoma artist, RT “Becky” Mannschreck. Becky is a relatively new artist even though she has been a part of the art profession for most of her life having grown up next to the easel of her late mother, Katy Kay Bonner, a favorite Oklahoma artist.
In addition to the varied artwork, visitors can again look forward to the wide variety of performing artists that grace two separate stages over the three-day festival. Internationally recognized artists will join local Oklahoma artists on AFO’s performance roster to perform throughout the day.
New Orleans’ own Hot 8 Brass Band will provide headline entertainment on Saturday evening, Sept. 4. A group that has epitomized New Orleans street music for over a decade, the band performs annually at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, world and jazz festivals across the US and Europe, and was featured in the Spike Lee documentary “When the Levees Broke.” Opening entertainment for the evening will be provided by Mike Black and the Stingrays performing what is billed as the only Elvis show in Oklahoma with a live band.
Sunday, Sept. 5, will feature the extraordinary sounds of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic followed by a fireworks display. The annual Labor Day concert and fireworks presented at OCCC has become a family tradition for many in central Oklahoma.
Festival hours are Sat., Sept. 4 and Sun., Sept. 5 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Mon., Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is just $5 per vehicle. For more information, call ext. 7576 or visit the Arts Festival Oklahoma website at www.occc.edu/afo.
A Few Good Men and Women
Congressman Tom Cole and Congresswoman Mary Fallin sponsored OCCC to receive funds from the fiscal year 2010 Labor, Health and Human Services and Education appropriation to provide educational support services to the nation’s veterans enrolled here at OCCC.

Crisis Drill Helps Prepare College for Real-life Emergency
The sunny, sultry Tuesday morning began as a typical summer day on the OCCC campus last week. But as the automated voice came over each employee phone and the sirens began alerting all those inside to evacuate, the ordinary day was quickly interrupted.
As students, staff, employees and guests began to evacuate from all corners of the campus, the southwest parking lot was already full of activity. The day had been set aside for a crisis training drill with members of the OCCC Safety and Security department, Oklahoma City Police and Fire departments, Oklahoma City S.W.A.T. and Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA).
The chaos, although simulated, seemed very real. While sections of the campus grounds became flooded with individuals seeking shelter away from the college, smoke bombs were activated, injured patients of a simulated car explosion were screaming for help, survivors were seeking assistance for their wounded friends and EMSA and fire truck lights could be seen near Faculty Circle.
As security officers, firemen and paramedics arrived on scene, yet another potential disaster was added to the simulated drill. A suspicious package was discovered in the same parking lot, and one of the wounded victims, soon to be identified as the bombing suspect, fled to the OCCC maintenance facilities building where he barricaded himself inside.
Arriving next was media from across the metro. Setting up their cameras in a secure location, media briefings were held with OCCC Public Information Officers (PIO).
Members of the OCCC Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Emergency Communications Center (ECC) all took their posts and began working through team and individual tasks as if the crisis was a real-life situation.
As information was given to the college PIO live on the scene, it was quickly relayed to the ECC leader who then distributed the news to members of the EOC and ECC teams to update various lines of communication to keep students, parents, family members, faculty and staff members of OCCC abreast of the crisis and the latest news.
The crisis continued until the simulated bomb was disarmed and the suspect surrendered peacefully. However, college officials were still tasked with informing the media and families of the day’s events that included multiple injuries and casualties.
Team briefings were immediately held following the drill to discuss the dos and don’ts for future training sessions as well as in an actual crisis.
Safety of the entire OCCC family is top priority to college officials, and although unfortunate, drills such as these are necessary to ensure a safe and secure campus where students achieve and the community thrives.
College to Go “Live” with Campus Alert Notification System
OCCC will soon go “live” with a new notification system to improve communications with students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency on campus.
The Campus Alert Notification (CAN) system will be used to deliver text messages to cell phones, emails and - eventually - voice messages to telephones. Initially, the system has been populated with the college email addresses of current students and employees. By logging into the system, a user can easily add cell phone numbers to receive text alerts and can enter additional email addresses to receive messages.
“This system will allow the college to communicate with our community about campus emergencies and closures using a single system,” OCCC Coordinator of Online Marketing, John Richardson, said. “Not only will we be able to rapidly distribute time sensitive information via text message and email, but also post alerts to the college’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. In an emergency situation, we need to be able to communicate through as many channels as possible.”
OCCC is utilizing a software product from a company called Regroup. A college task force made the recommendation to use this system after conducting research of several systems.
“Regroup made an excellent presentation to the task force and has provided an integrated solution. The staff at Regroup has been very responsive to the requests made by OCCC,” Denny Myers, implementation team chair, said.
Students and employees will soon be able to access the system and their account online.
“We want to emphasize to the users of this system that it will be used only for emergency communication; it will not be used for anything else,” Richardson added.
The first campus alert message will be sent through the system via email to the full group of employees and students this Wednesday. Feedback on the system is encouraged. Please contact John Richardson at ext. 7552 or jrichardson@occc.edu.
Members of the Campus Alert Notification System Task Force include:
• Dave Anderson
• Pat Berryhill
• Connie Drummond
• Vicki Gibson
• Paula Gower
• Cordell Jordan
• Denny Myers
• John Richardson
• Ike Sloas
Leaugeay Barnes Accepted to National EMS Advisory Council
OCCC’s own Leaugeay Barnes, program director for the Emergency Medical Sciences department, was recently appointed to the National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council (NEMSAC).
A nationally recognized council of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), NEMSAC provides representatives and consumers with advice and recommendations regarding EMS to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
For the next two years, Barnes will serve alongside members of volunteer EMS groups, fire-based EMS, hospital-based EMS, EMS medical directors, emergency physicians, trauma surgeons and pediatric emergency physicians.
EMS matters overseen by NEMSAC include, national EMS needs assessment and strategic planning; development of standards, guidelines, benchmarks and data collection relating to EMS. Also, methods for improving community-based EMS; strengthening EMS systems, improved coordination and support of EMS activities among Federal programs; and more will be advised upon by NEMSAC.
Congratulations, Leaugeay!
New Events Management System
Now in place, the new Events Management System (Events) allows OCCC employees to quickly and easily see all scheduled college events, meetings and academic classes by simply looking in one central location. Replacing the Event Setup request forms, the new system is to be used to schedule all events at OCCC.
Each department at OCCC recently provided at least one employee contact for this project, who in turn attended user training sessions. Employees responsible for reserving rooms or equipment for their department also received specialized training for their role with the new system.
“The Events system also contains photographs of the schedulable rooms to provide the requester a visual image and a better idea of the atmosphere for their meeting, etc.,” E.J. Warren, E-Student Services director, said.
All academic class schedules are still created and maintained in the Datatel Colleague system with an automated interface sharing information between the systems.
An events request is completed with this information in mind:
1. What is the activity, event, meeting, etc.?
2. Who is the contact?
3. When will it occur?
4. Where do you want to schedule your event?
5. What resources do you need?
Built-in workflows are available within the new system to send event requests to appropriate individuals for approval, and the new system has numerous reports and dashboard views available for individuals responsible for scheduling rooms and resources. Events also allow the deans and President’s Cabinet members to review and analyze space utilization and enrollment information.
If your department has space request needs for any type of event on campus and has not yet attended training, please review the list of training dates available through MineOnline. For questions about the system, please contact E.J. Warren at ext. 7569 for assistance.
