Pennsylvania Highlands Community College has teamed up with the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford to make it easier for Penn Highlands’ students to complete their bachelor’s degree at Pitt-Bradford. Under this agreement, Pitt-Bradford will accept 60 credits from Pennsylvania Highlands.
“Programs at Penn Highlands and Pitt-Bradford mesh well together, and this new agreement provides students a way to plan for their bachelor’s degree at our campus much more easily,” said Bob Dilks, Director of Transfer Recruitment at Pitt-Bradford. “This agreement coupled with our transfer scholarships will make Pitt-Bradford a great choice for many Penn Highlands’ students.”
Pennsylvania Highlands Community College happily announces that Jessica Hanes Barron, Computer Science Instructor, was selected to present at the 6th Annual Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy, which will be held at the Inn at Virginia Tech and the Skelton Conference Center from February 5th through 7th. Jessica will present on the topic of “Instructional Video Games: Overcoming Usability Barriers in the Classroom.”
The 6th Annual Conference on Higher Education Pedagogy focuses on higher education teaching excellence and the scholarship of teaching and learning. The conference showcases the best pedagogical practice and research in higher education today. Sessions address disciplinary and interdisciplinary instructional strategies, outcomes, and research.
All community members are invited to attend a presentation by guest speaker and Visiting Scholar from the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University, Dr. Sami Hermez. His presentation, “Syria in the Arab Revolutions: Two Years On,” will take place in the auditorium of the Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Richland Campus on Thursday, November 7th, at 11am.
Dr. Hermez, will focus on the transformation of the Syrian uprisings over the last two years and provide an analysis of both the geopolitical and grassroots forces. His talk will pose such questions as: how can we begin to understand the conflict in Syria; who are the different actors on the ground; and what positions might we consider taking in this country?
Previous to being a Visiting Scholar at Harvard University, Dr. Hermez held posts as a Visiting Professor of Contemporary International Issues at the University of Pittsburgh, a Visiting Professor of Anthropology at Mt. Holyoke College, and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Lebanese Studies, St. Antony’s College, Oxford University. He obtained his doctorate degree in January 2011 from the Department of Anthropology at Princeton University, where his research was with former militia fighters and current political activists, and dealt with questions of the anticipation of war in everyday life in Lebanon. His research is concerned with political violence, social movements, the state, memory, security and human rights in the Arab World. He has also worked in various organizations, among them, the US Peace Corps, Human Rights Watch, and the United Nations Development Program.
This opportunity has been made possible by the efforts of the Global Studies Center at the University of Pittsburgh.
