On September 8, 2011, Front Range Community College (FRCC) will celebrate its 43rd anniversary in the main C-level hallway. This celebration, organized by Student Life, will begin at 11 a.m. As advertised, the event will provide attendees with free cake. This celebration has been taking place for 42 years, dur-ing which FRCC has evolved extensively in its architecture, technology, and academics. Ed Lang spent 43 years working at FRCC as a full-time counselor and as a member of the social science department. “I absolutely love Front Range!” exclaims Lang. “In fact, I still go to campus four to fi ve times a week to workout at the gym there.” In 1968, FRCC was located at East 62nd Avenue and Down-ing Street in Denver and was the north campus of the three-campus system of Community College of Denver (CCD). CCD’s other campus locations were located to the west in the Red Rocks area and in central Denver. According to Andy Dorsey, current President of FRCC’s Westminster campus, FRCC was the fi rst college established by the State Board. John H. Swenson is considered the col-lege’s fi rst president and served as chief campus executive in 1968. Dorsey, states, “[FRCC] grew so fast that this structure had

to be built,” Dorsey states. The structure Dorsey is referring to is the Westminster campus located on 112th Avenue, which was built in 1977 due to the increasing enrollment of students. It has since had a name change in 1984 to Front Range Com-munity College. The following year, FRCC became an inde-pendent college. Dorsey became a part-time faculty member at the former Valmont Boulder campus in 1993 and has seen FRCC trans-form and evolve into what it is today; he was appointed Presi-dent of FRCC in 2009. That same year, the Higher Learning Commission granted continued accreditation to FRCC. Dorsey proudly speaks of the “fi rsts” that FRCC Westminster had when it opened, such as “...being the only solar heated structure in the country when it opened [in 1977].” In addition, FRCC was also a front-runner providing disabil-ity access to students before such standards became wide-spread across institutions. “[FRCC was] a place receptive for students who were hard of hearing, accommodating to Deaf people across Colorado,” Dorsey boasts. “I believe we were the fi rst community college who offered this service.” FRCC was also one of the fi rst colleges in Colorado to of-fer online courses in 1994, which account for over 20% of the student body.

“Start Your Thinking Engines!”

Student Life at Front Range Community College, Westminster held their “Start Your Thinking Engines” Welcome Festivities on Wednesday, August 31 for new and returning students, staff, and faculty. Jason Wright, Coordinator of Student Activities, led and organized the event with the support of the Student Life Office. “We want the [attendees] to get back in the swing of classes, the event is free and fun,” Wright said. The race-day-themed event featured live music by singer and guitarist David Harris, who played his tunes and joked with audience members. The event included tricycles for racing or leisure, which were ridden outside of entrance three. There were games and activities outdoors and indoors, such as the Pit Stop Challenge and Go Racers, drawing much attention and laughs from onlookers inside the Rotunda. There were also giveaways from Wells Fargo® and the Phi Theta Kappa booths. “These events are awesome,” Business major Danny Nguyen ex-pressed, “because they utilize student fees in a fun way and students get the opportunity to mingle.” There was also a long queue for free food and snacks, such as ham-burgers, hot dogs, chips, cookies and drinks from the campus bistro, that were compliments of Student Life. Tables and shaded areas were filled with attendees. “This is great. It takes away the monotony and boredom of the day,” Stephen Ladd, a Computer Networking major said. Student Life organizes events, similar to this, throughout the semester for all at FRCC Westminster to enjoy. See page 04 for upcoming events.

FRCC Anniversary continued

Academically, many changes have been made to FRCC throughout the years. “Many changes have been made statewide so that student transfer is easier in steps. There have been small, but significant improvements in the process in which students take to transfer from our institution to other institutions or vice-versa,” Dorsey mentioned. “The institution is working on providing more guaranteed transfer credits for students to help students across Colorado obtain more than ‘just 60 plus 60’ from their community colleges.” Furthermore, Dorsey has noticed that enrollment has increased significantly due to “...the economy, but also because four-year institutions have raised their tuition.” This has led FRCC to add ten new degrees in the past 15 years, such as an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) program and a Pharmacy Technician program. Currently, FRCC’s Nursing and Interpreter Preparation programs have been granted Programs of Excellence Awards from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE). Some memorable events that have taken place throughout the years stand out in Dorsey’s mind. “The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) 150-mile bike race is always quite memorable and gets our name in the paper each year,” Dorsey said. Each year, he also looks forward to the Festival of the Arts and Lydia Brokaw’s annual Video Festival, which exhibits students, staff, and professors’ work. Dorsey comments that FRCC became more connected with the city of Westminster when College Hill Library was established. The future of FRCC involves more discussion of how to renovate the Westminster building. “We are working on our needs for academic improvement and some of our infrastructure needs some remodeling—for example, the advising area,” Dorsey commented. Because of growing enrollment numbers, the admissions and records offices could use more space. The science labs are also in the plans to be restructured. Dorsey explained that FRCC is looking to add programs related to healthcare, manufacturing, technology—like the Fort Collins campus whichoffers the clean-energy program. Such programs are crucial to keeping up with innovative technology in the future. As for the past, FRCC students and faculty have a lot of which to proud.

Inside the 2011New Student Orientation

To welcome the new students to the Front Range Community College Westminster campus, a New Student Orientation was held in the Ro-tunda area on August 17. Ranging from recent high school graduates to more mature adult students, this orientation was for all ages as well as all majors. Students had the option of attending the morning or evening session, and the purpose of the orientation was to walk the students through what FRCC Westminster has to offer. There were introductory speeches from faculty members and teachers who ran the sessions. The sessions were filled with students of all backgrounds and needs. Students were given a walk-through of how to make the most of the resources available to them on campus, such as the public College Hill Public Library that is attached to the school. Specific department heads highlighted the benefits of how a degree in a particular field can enhance one’s career opportunities, including FRCC’s Business Program. Specialized orientations were offered to groups of students, such as ex-veterans and students who are parents, in order to address specific and unique needs. In addition, all students, including out-of-state and international stu-dents, were provided a guided tour through campus, highlighting impor-tant areas. The guides remarked on specific places such as the location of computers, the school’s free gym, and proceeded to help students locate their classrooms. “The orientation was very helpful to me,” said freshman Adriana Fer-nandez, when asked about the New Student Orientation. “I didn’t know a lot before I went to the orientation and now I’m excited to get a tutor,” said freshman Tarah Hankel. During the orientation, the students also had the opportunity to win a scholarship toward class credits. The scholarship recipient’s names were chosen in a drawing at the end of each of the two sessions. In addition, every student who attended received free goodies, including breakfast and school supplies from Wells Fargo®. “The goal of orientation is to provide students with an opportunity to learn more about Front Range, find their classes, learn about the re-sources available to them, possibly meet some new people, and have a little bit of fun!” explained Amy Rosdil, Director of FRCC Student Life. “Our hope is that once they’ve completed orientation, they will start their season at Front Range feeling more comfortable and ready to focus on their academic success.”

ConstructionUpdate Despite some challenges,

FRCC construction isreported to be on schedule

Beginning this past spring and continuing now, the Westminster campus of Front Range Community College is going through an important renovation: the Student Services Center (SSC) is being reconstructed in order to combine service offerings to one main place on campus. “The SSC is currently running on schedule as planned. They have encountered unexpected issues as they proceeded through the renovation. There are always surprises that are uncovered during a renovation versus new construction as there are hidden things be-hind walls that are not on any drawings of the college,” said Therese Brown, Vice President of the FRCC Westminster and Larimer cam-puses. “The biggest issue that they encountered was the need to actu-ally tear down the exterior wall instead of just cutting new openings in the existing wall.” Students and visitors can see the ongoing changes taking place as walls and interior systems are deconstructed, and new infrastructure is installed. The construction crew has paid special attention to high-traffic areas in the school and has posted the appropriate warning signs. “In addition, the college is updating our Heating-Ventilation-Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system and fixing the hydronic couplings. They tackled the two system upgrades in the west end of the building not only in the SSC, but on the south side of the hallway as well. This included all three levels of the building as well. They encountered electrical issues that were not up to current building codes that had to be upgraded once we opened up the ceilings for the HVAC,” adds Brown. The convenience of the concentrated space of the new Student Services Center will be worth the wait since it will serve the school’s students, faculty and visitors for years to come.

By Kathleen Timbol Like many during the past summer break, FRCC student Glen Brackmann went out of town. However, Brackmann did not exactly have a vacation. In-stead, Brackmann used the time he hadoff to volunteer in Joplin, Missouri. Joplin, Missouri was devas-tated by a tornado late in May of this year. The tornado caused hundreds of deaths and injuries. Homes and other structures were severely damaged and families were also displaced. Joplin is still recovering today, prompting Brackmann to take a tip in July to help those in need. “What motivated me were the people there [who] wanted help from their neighbors and friends,” Brackmann, who owns a farm about 15 miles away from Joplin, said. He worked with other organi-zations, such as neighboring and national churches, local farmers, families, and the Americorps. “The people [we were helping] were not there since their places were leveled and they were in shelters at the time,” Brackmann shared. Brackmann cleaned de-bris from the houses with trucks and aided people looking for

their belongings. “I really learned what destruc-tion a tornado can cause,” Brack-mann expressed. He says he would encourage others to vol-unteer. “People should volunteer be-cause they would be able to help others and it makes you feel bet-ter about yourself.” Follow in Brackmann’s foot-steps and volunteer. There are organizations that are always in need of volunteers.

Q&A with FRCC International Student Trang Nguyen

Getting Funky with HistoryMeet Merle Funk, FRCC Westminster’s new full-time History professor

By Helen Satchwell

Photo by Curtis HalleyHistory Professor Merle Funk giving a lecture on Early Civilization.

Trang Nguyen is an international student from Vietnam who has been living in the U.S. for roughly five months. Along with many other students, she has just begun her first semester of college at Front Range Community College. The Front Page inter-viewed her, investigating her transition to the United States as well as her overall ex-periences.

Curtis Halley: Why did you choose to study here at Front Range Com-munity College?Trang Nguyen: Because my friend told me that this is one of the most famous community colleges in Colorado, so that's why I chose to study here.

CH: How was the transition to the U.S.?TN: I think there are a lot of chang-es because [I am] living here alone [and] I need to be independent. I need to do everything by myself and not rely on my parents. Although I am so busy at school, I still need to do all the stuff at my house, go to school by myself, go to the market, cook for myself, everything.

CH: What is the greatest obstacle you have faced living here being away from home?TN: I think it's the language because the first time I was here, it was very difficult for me to [understand] and to communicate with people.

CH: Do you find that classes are difficult because they are all in English?TN: Yeah, all English and the way [they] study is very different in Viet-nam. In high school, we study in the same class [all day]. The teach-ers come to [our classrooms, they don’t go] away.CH: Oh, so you do not go to the

classes, the teachers just switch out?TN: Yeah.

CH: What are your goals for after FRCC?TN: I will transfer to UCD. I want to study to be a doctor . . . a Pediatri-cian. I hope that I can work in Viet-nam and help people there.

CH: What do you hope to gain from studying here versus if you were to study in Vietnam?TN: I think that in the U.S., [schools are] equipped with more facilities and [are] very modern. So, if I can study here and [go] back to Viet-nam, I think I can help people a lot.

CH: Do you think any of your beliefs or ways of thinking have changed any since moving to the U.S.?TN: Yeah, I think that to be a teen-ager here people need to be mature and independent, unlike in Viet-nam, [where] most of the teenagers rely on their parents very much.

CH: After college, do you plan on staying here in the U.S. permanent-

ly or do you plan on returning to Vietnam?TN: I think it would be better if I could live half a year in Vietnam and half a year in U.S., ha-ha . . . because my family is still in Vietnam. That's why I need to live in Vietnam—to take care of them. And I still want to work here too. I'd like to work in the U.S.A.

CH: You do like it a lot.TN: Yeah, I like to be independent... Like, students, they work part-time, even when they are very young. But, in Vietnam, I think in their teenage years, cannot work part time like that until they become like 18 or 19 or something.

CH: Is there anything missing from the U.S. that you had back home?TN: Of course, the Vietnamese food! Ha-ha! And my family.

FROM VIETNAM TO WESTMINSTER, CO

Helen Satchwell:Welcome to Front Range Com-munity College! Where were you before joining the FRCC staff?

Merle Funk: Well, I have been an adjunct instructor at FRCC since the spring of 1997, but this year I be-came a full-time faculty member. I also have been working as a Barista at Starbucks in Lafayette for about four years now, provid-ing me with a job all-year round in order to supplement my in-come when I am not able to get enough teaching hours.

HS: What classes are you teach-ing this semester?

MF: I am teaching two Western Civilization classes, one U.S. His-tory to Reconstruction class, one U.S. History since the Civil War class, and one section of Colo-rado History.

HS: What is your dream job?

MF: I am one of those few lucky people to be working in my dream job: teaching. I discovered Teacher Assisting as a Graduate

Student at Creighton University and decided it was the career path that I had to pursue.

HS: What is something you would like your students to know about you?

MF: I am Canadian, but came to live in the U.S. when I was three and returned to Saskatchewan for high school. Because I am Canadian, I find that I can pro-vide a more neutral stance to-wards the United States’ place in the world throughout history.

HS: What is most important to you as an instructor?

MF: I don’t expect students to remember the details of every-thing I teach, but I hope that they do walk away with some facts that can help them be in-formed, well-rounded, and able to look at our world from a more

intelligent and informed per-spective.

HS: Ten years ago, where did you imagine yourself to be today?

MF: Ten years ago I was pre-paring to teach a class at FRCC Westminster when the events of September 11, 2001 took place. I always imagined myself teaching full time, so I guess I can say that my dreams came true.

HS: If you won $10 billion to-morrow, what would be the first three things you’d do?

MF: jokingly--I would help pull the US out of their financial cri-sis. I would still want to teach because it is my dream job. I would also try to pay off any outstanding debts, make sure my kids were taken care of for college, and I would travel the world.

Front Page Corrections In the “Financial Ins & Outs” article in our July 12 issue (page2), the Higher One refund preferences section mistakenly left out a fourth option. On the www.cccsrefundcard.com website, students can choose to receive a paper check as a refund preference in their Higher One account, and receive it 6-7 days after Higher One receives the refund from FRCC. If a student has previously chosen a refund option that he/she wants to change, the student can log into their Higher One account on the www.cccsrefundcard.com website and change it. If no refund preference is chosen, a paper check is sent to the student 21 days after Higher Once receives the refund from FRCC.

WORST! ERAGON

Movie magic, or not? Best & Worst Books to Movies

BEST! HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS

Whereas Eragon failed to achieve a successful book-to-film conversion, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows struck gold (the novel was split into two movies: Part 1 and Part 2). The book’s author, J.K. Rowling, produced both of the films (and the six other films in the Harry Potter series), tweaking the details to her comfort. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 shows Harry Potter aboard a broomstick engaged in a flight-or-fight situation. This situation demonstrated a feud between Harry and Ron Weasley, his best friend, which is sharpened with life-or-death finesse and ultimately results in a touching reunion. The film’s conversion of this scene was a perfect match to what was represented in the novel. Furthermore, the 400 pages of the novel describe Harry and Hermione Granger’s hideaway tent, which is presented in an engaging manner in the film. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 told the story of the remain-ing part of the book, and has been praised worldwide for being a well-suited ending to the Harry Potter phenomenon. It encompasses a dragon, heart-stopping adventure and the pursuit of angry Death Eaters who inflict Taboos on the wizard community. The film versions of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows are a perfect ad-aptation of Rowling’s novel right down to the ending when Harry and his friends send their children to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft or Wizardry, their parents’ alma mater. Also, the movie’s ending brilliantly portrays a civil, unspoken acknowledgement and understanding between Harry and his long-time archenemy, wizard Draco Malfoy. This final movie scene represents the epitome of sticking to Rowling’s original printed words.

During spring semester, I remem-ber going into the cafeteria and seeing a plethora of different op-tions for food choices. One thing I remember was a chocolate pudding cup with whipped cream on top.During the first week of this semes-ter I was craving that, so I went into the cafeteria, but to my dismay, it was not there. I looked around for other options and found nothing that sparked my interest. Every-thing they had was either some-thing you ordered from behind the counter, granola bars and other similar items, or bread and bagels. While I was looking, I noticed that bagels had gone up 30 cents from last semester and now they charge for cream cheese! A single slice of bread will cost you a dollar. I was outraged by this because I

can buy two full loaves for around five dollars. Why the sudden lack of choices? And if you are hungry, you may have to settle for something you don’t really want and will be paying a boat load for it! During my first week of class this semester, I ordered the same exact thing three different times and was charged three different prices. The prices ranged from around four dollars the first time, to almost nine dollars the third time. I was outraged and said I wouldn’t pay the latter of the prices. The café employee did fix the price which brought it down to a reasonable rate. After seeing no variety and outra-geous pricing, I’ve decided that the cafeteria will no longer be a place for me to eat. I will be bringing my own food from home now. If I for-

get to bring food, I can always take advantage of what Student Life of-fers and munch on some yummy popcorn that they provide for free. Thank you, Student Life! What will happen next? A quarter slot to use the microwave?

Eragon—written by Paolini at only 15—has eloquent language, suspenseful events and scintillating characters. After evaluating the movie adaptation of his engaging novel, many reviewers were baffled by his approval to convert his masterpiece into film. Eragon is a farm boy who discovers a mysterious dragon’s egg and the novel’s plot revolves around how his life and those around him change after this rare discovery. One inaccuracy that a reader will find in the movie is that the baby dragon, named Saphira, turns into a full-grown dragon within three seconds of flight. In the book, she grows into a full-grown dragon due to the invaluable bond that evolves over months between Saphira and Eragon which is a key feature of the plot. Another obvious error that arises from the book-to-film transformation is the inaccurate representation of Eragon’s love interest: the lead female char-acter, an elf named Arya. She is depicted as tortured in the film as opposed to imprisoned and in a self-inflicted coma as described in the novel. Also, her attire and un-pointed ears represent an imprecise illustration of Arya’s character.

It is common practice in entertainment to convert a well-known and appreci-ated book into a film. Many find it enthralling to see their favorite characters brought to life through special effects, fine actors and the promise of captur-ing the author's intentions. The film adaptation of Eragon, written by Chris-topher Paolini, failed to accomplish such goals, whereas Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, written by J.K.Rowling, did.
