The Captain’s JournalA publication by Chattahoochee Valley Community College

CVCC Family and Friends,

I really enjoy Spring semester as it always ends on such a high note. We had a wonderful graduation ceremony receiving front page coverage from the Ledger- Enquirer. Our baseball and softball teams had successful seasons. Coach Steve O’Steen reached 300 wins with the softball team. We’re especially excited with the success of our 3x ACCC Champions. I am with the team in Colorado now as they compete at the World Series. Our baseball team is doing us proud both on and off the field. The team has received nothing but praise for their character in addition to their talents. Currently, they have won two and lost one game and will be playing again Thursday night. This past week, Coach Thomas broke B.R. Johnson’s record for the most wins at CVCC. Help me cheer for them as they press on. GO PIRATES!

In addition to the student accomplishments, the Workforce Development division recently held a meeting with local business and industry to establish and grow new partnerships. This past Friday we provided training for Johns Manville and received positive reviews. We look forward to doing more of this type training with our community. The Public Safety program continues to provide excellent training with 20 students passing national certifications. We will be accepting a new class of nursing students this week as well. Meeting the needs of the community is what we do.

Thanks to everyone for a great spring!

Sincerely,

Mark D. EllardCVCC Interim President

Mosi Wells,Applied Technology

Student

Meet Mosi Wells, just one of the several students who benefit from contributions to the CVCC Foundation. Mosi chose to attend CVCC because it is close to home, and he wanted to be part of the new welding program this past spring semester.

He said, “Monies that I would usually pay bills with, the scholarship will allow me to purchase tools, books, and other materials vital to my development as an ARC Welder. “

That’s the CVCC Foundation scholarship in action. It’s helping Mosi accomplish his goals. He plans to become a master welder, and eventually learn inspection and OSHA.

A grateful recipient, Mosi thanks God, the interim president and the CVCC Foundation for the opportunity.

Mosi ended with stating, “CVCC is a great school! They prepare their students for their future!”

Start the semester off right!Visit the Math Tutoring Center

I really would recommend CVCC to anyone. The hospitality is

amazing. Coming from a big university, I was able to fit right

in and bond relationships with good staff that guided me to this

moment I’m at right now. I would also like to thank the MTC for

doing an amazing job. They are really good at what they do over

there. - student on 2016 CVCC Graduation Survey
