Southern State Community College will offer two presenta-tions of Dr. Bethanie Tucker’s “Understanding and Engaging Under-Resourced College Stu-dents” on Friday, May 13, 2011, at the college’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The presentations, open free of charge to the public, will be held from 10-11:30 a.m. and again at 1:30-3 p.m. in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium.

“I heard Dr. Tucker speak earlier this year at a statewide meeting of community colleges,” said SSCC President Dr. Kevin Boys. “Her message is primarily directed toward educators and the kinds of things we can do to most effectively meet the unique needs of students who have grown up in poverty.”

IN THE NEWS

ART/Cont’d on Page 2This year’s exhibition will feature

three divisions: competitive, student competitive, and non-competitive.

“The Area Artist Exhibition is an ideal opportunity for local artists to have their work noticed by their peers, as well as the public at large,” said James D. Werline, a well-known artist and Southern State art instruc-tor, who is coordinating the annual event through his role as gallery co-ordinator for the Appalachian Gate-way Center.

“This exhibition has shown steady growth in size and quality over the past 11 years and it is be-coming my favorite in the series of exhibitions that we host each year,” Werline said. “It is not only an op-portunity for local artists to have their work exhibited, but also is an opportunity for the public to dis-cover the rich artistic talent that is unique to the Appalachian region of southern Ohio.”

The public is invited to view the exhibition from 12 noon to 9 p.m.

on Mondays, and from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, at SSCC’s South Campus. As the schedule is subject to change, please call Amanda Lewis at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 3520, to confirm gallery hours.

Fall Schedule 2011

PAST SSCC STUDENTON ‘PYTHON HUNTERS’SSCC instructor Ken Storer’s son-in-law Shawn Heflick, grandson Thorne Heflick, and daughter Jen-nifer Heflick (a former SSCC stu-dent) are featured on “Python Hunt-ers,” a six-episode show on the National Geographic Wild channel. The show airs Fridays at 9 p.m. From green iguanas and Nile moni-tors, to rock pythons and the big-gest nasty of them all — the 12-foot Burmese python — alien invaders have infested the Florida Ever-glades. And now an elite squad of hunters is fighting back. Patrolling one of the most beautiful and deli-cate environments on the planet, the Python Hunters are determined to get these invasive species under control. It’s a high-stakes, adrenaline pumping conservation mission, and if they fail, one of the most important eco-systems in America may never recover.
