A Beginning

This is Dr. Ellis. Today, I start the spotlight on science. I will be making periodic announcements about what is happening in the sciences (Biology, Pre-Med, Pre-Dent, Pre-Pharm, Pre-Vet, Pre-Physical Therapy). The first announcement I have to make is that there will be a meeting for all science majors on April 17th in the Moreau Center at Noon. Light snacks will be availible. I plan on presenting some catalog changes that will appear in the upcoming catalog, I also want to talk about the sequencing of course offerings in science, I will talk about the new facilities that will be used for Biology courses starting next Fall, and I am looking for student imput about the future of the department. Specifically, I am considering listing and offering  more 400 level courses - is there a specific course you would like to see offered at OLHCC? We are considering starting an honors program in Biology - What are you thoughts on this idea? I also have ideas about what should be happening at OLHCC for the pre-professional majors, but I would like to hear about what students want and maybe even expect. Bottom line - show up, find out about the direction of the program, and contribute to the process.

Alumni Board Meeting

Hey everyone, its Keith again! I hope everyone had a good time at the Crawfish Bowl. Thanks to everyone for attending. The Alumni Association will be holding its monthly meeting Tuesday, April 1. This is no April Fools’s joke!!! It will be at 6:00 pm in the upstairs Board Room down the hall from the Office of Institutional Affairs. All of the Alumni Board Meetings are open to our alums. We welcome any new ideas and suggestions.  This meeting we will be electing new board members and executive board members for the 08-09 year. I hope to see some of you attend and get involved at OLHCC.

First Blog :)

Hi Everyone!! This is my very first blog, so I am very excited J I guess I should tell you a little about myself first. My name is Becky Kientz and I am one of the fabulous recruiters at Our Lady of Holy Cross College. I came to OLHCC in 2004 after I completed my Associates in Business Communication at Delgado. I knew that I wanted to continue my education, but I just wasn’t sure what school was right for me. As I was weighing my options for college, I met the Dean of the business department through my family. He told me that I would fit in great at Our Lady of Holy Cross College because of the small size and personal attention. Sure enough, I attended an Open House and LOVED it! I enrolled for the spring of 2004 and completed my Bachelors in Business Administration concentrating in Tourism Management in December of 2006.

            Shortly before I completed the program, in September of 2006, I was given the opportunity to work as the recruiter for OLHCC. That was an easy decision for me, talking about the school that I love and meeting new people, PERFECT!!

            So here I am! I am so excited to continue recruiting and meeting new people. Pretty soon, I will be posting upcoming events to let you know where you can meet me. Don’t forget, you can always check out the recruiting section under admissions on the website at www.OLHCC.edu for more information. Talk to you later!!!
