Happy Pride Month! BC Pride invites you to join the festivities
Twenty years ago, in 1999, President Bill Clinton declared the first “Gay & Lesbian Pride Month.” June was chosen to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred that month in 1969 and paved the way for the gay liberation movement.
Throughout the month, major cities across the United States host a series of events that include concerts, parades, and picnics that allow the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA) community to come together to celebrate the progress made in the last few decades.
Supporting our LGBTQIA community
BC Pride is an initiative created by the office of Student Achievement Initiatives and Student Services to provide support to Broward College’s LGBTQIA community by creating and fostering a culture of inclusion through education, explains Andrew Dutka, committee chair of BC Pride.
“Through this initiative we seek to provide a safe space for all our students, especially those in the LGBTQIA community, by raising awareness on the issues that affect them,” says Dutka. “By actively participating in events that embrace diversity, the College continues to show how much we care about providing a space that is inclusive and free of judgement.”
Under this initiative, students can join the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) chapter of their campus. GSA’s primary mission is to raise awareness of LGBTQIA issues through volunteerism and collaboration at community events throughout the year.
Represent Broward College at Pride Events
This month, BC Pride is representing Broward College at some of South Florida’s significant Pride events, and they are encouraging students, faculty, and staff to join them. On Saturday, June 15, BC Pride will participate in the 2019 Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade. On Saturday, June 22, the College will have a booth at the Museum of Discovery and Science Pride Day event. Broward College South Campus’ Student Life will host a Film Documentary Viewing and Panel Discussion on June 27, 10 a.m.
Broward College is proud to offer a safe environment, free of discrimination to all students, faculty and staff. Be a part of the BC Pride community.
Expand your opportunities with Continuing Education
Our fast-paced lives of today constantly remind us of the need to evolve and adapt to survive. When it comes to our professional career, there is no difference. The workplace has changed so much in the past 20 years, and it’s become crucial for employees to find ways to improve themselves continuously.
At Broward College, the Workforce Education team is committed to providing individuals within our community with the guidance and resources needed to keep their professional skills up-to-date. That’s where the Continuing Education (CE) department plays a vital role.
“Our programs in Continuing Education are designed to get individuals quickly the new skills that they need to get a new job or upscale themselves,” says Diane Peart, associate vice president of Workforce and Continuing Education.
Adapting to the new world
Whether you are a working professional, entrepreneur, or business owner, CE offers a plethora of training options. Quick paths, the CE version of the Pathways, show the different steps an individual must complete to obtain a particular certification in a short period. All the programs offered through CE are in high demand. Among the most requested certifications are Project Management, Lean Six Sigma, and Marketing. Additional industry certifications include Web Developer, Insurance Agent, Entrepreneurship, Bookkeeping, Accounting, Real Estate, IT Professional, and Drone certification.
Perks of Continuing Education
Through CE, individuals can build new, valuable skills in just one or two terms (a term typically lasts for 4 months), and for a very affordable price. The noncredit program allows students to complete a certification for $3,000 or less. Many of these industry certifications can translate into college credits at any college.
The courses are available in a variety of formats: fully online, blended, or face-to-face. Most of the classes are offered in the evenings as well as Saturdays.
“We are extremely happy and proud of the path we are creating for individuals of all ages, backgrounds, walks of life, from the South Florida area and beyond, so that they can continuously improve themselves,” says Peart.
Develop Priceless Leadership Skills
In 2018, the College created the Executive Mini-MBA Certification Program. This program, one of the first of its kind at a community college, is geared towards individuals that want to build their business acumen. It’s important to notice that this program is not an MBA, but rather components of it.
“What’s unique about this program is the network that you build with like-minded individuals, who are at least at a managerial level or higher, and can come from any industry or field,” explains Peart.
Among the most popular components of the program are Artificial Intelligence, Machine Technology, Virtual Teams Management, and Emotional Intelligence. Students will also develop skills such as business analysis, problem-solving, and coordination.
“We are excited about the possibility of all our students, to find a path into one of our many credit programs, that’s ultimately our goal for those that do not have a degree when they first come to us,” says Peart. “We continue to work with all our deans to create a strong connection between the credit and noncredit sides to ultimately have the student success that the College is very proud of.”

Be the change you want in the world – Pursue a career in Education
A degree from Broward College offered Eileen Santiago more than she bargained for. Not only did she gain a teaching job in Broward County Public Schools, she decided to pursue a master’s degree as well.
Santiago, a professor in the Education Pathway, completed her Bachelor’s in December 2011, and went on to work at Hollywood Park Elementary School before joining Broward College as full-time faculty, in 2017.
Because children spend long periods of time in their company, teachers play a major role in their lives. Students interested in leaving the same impact on others may want to pursue a career in education.
While many become teachers, career opportunities in the education field also include administrative positions, such as principal or superintendent, or in academic, career and family counseling. Other areas include recreation, student life, and childcare.
Finding a path in Education
At Broward College, the offers degrees in Teacher Education, Early Childhood Education, Exceptional Student Education, Secondary Biology and Secondary Mathematics. Technical certifications are embedded in the degrees in the areas of Child Development, Preschool Specialization, Child Care Center Management, and Infant/Toddler Specialization.
Regardless of the program a student chooses to pursue, they must first complete an Associate of Arts degree and pass at least one of the four areas of the general knowledge test required by the Department of Education before transitioning into a bachelor’s program.
Faculty at Broward College boast years of experience in education.
“We have outstanding faculty that come directly from working in the field, so they are up to date with the latest innovative strategies and models in teaching and learning and they are eager to share their knowledge with our students,” said Dr. Elizabeth Molina, dean of Academic Affairs for the Education Pathway.
The Pathway collaborates with Broward County Public Schools as well as some charter and private schools throughout the county to guarantee that 100 percent of the students are already employed by the time they graduate from Broward College, says Dr. Molina.
High demand for Educators
As many as 1.9 million teaching openings are expected through 2024, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics. Florida ranks among the top five states with the highest employment numbers for teaching. The average annual salary for teachers is $48,770; however, the pay scale for educators in high school and in postsecondary positions is typically higher. Some teachers are more attractive to potential employers after completing master’s degrees and Ph.D. programs.
Employment in the education sector is in high demand. Broward College provides students with an opportunity to pursue a degree in education at an affordable price. Learn more at broward.edu/education.
Partnership with Broward UP™ is Just Like Old Times for Lauderhill Mayor
Perhaps, no one in Lauderhill knows the lay of the land better than its mayor. After all, Ken Thurston has served in a real estate capacity in the city since he received his license from Broward College more than four decades ago.
As luck would have it, Thurston is back at it with Broward College. Through Broward UP™, the College’s community outreach movement, the Mayor is identifying neighborhoods in Lauderhill where unemployment is high, and education attainment levels are low. In these zip codes, Broward College officials plan to mobilize the services and resources of Broward UP in a coordinated effort with Thurston and the city to break down barriers to education and, at the same time, drive social mobility and economic development.
Although much of Lauderhill is enjoying the fruits of low unemployment, Thurston said the central part of the city, where subsidized housing attracts residents from all parts of the county, could use the assistance of Broward UP™ to tap its “Unlimited Potential.”
“Subsidized housing is great because it helps people live in decent and safe housing, but we have a cluster of people who have not acquired the life skills to move ahead,” said Thurston. “If we can educate these residents and lift them up, it becomes a win-win for everybody.”
Thurston has already pointed to the Lauderhill Aquatics Center on 55th Avenue as an ideal location to hold workshops in college and career development and training toward substitute teaching and Microsoft Office certifications.
“Maybe it’s computer skills, maybe it’s an area in technology or healthcare,” said Thurston. “These are all industries where jobs are in high demand. Or maybe it’s employment skills, such as how to interview, how to complete a job application or how to prepare a resume.”
First Municipal Partnership
Thurston said Broward UP’s first municipal partnership evolved after Broward College President Gregory Haile and his team presented their strategies at a meeting of the city commissioners. Shortly after that, the collaboration was launched at the Boys & Girls Club of Broward College in Lauderhill, where Broward UP staged a day of recreational activities and team building.
“There is a willingness by President Haile and those around him to think outside the box to find solutions to problems that have existed for a long time,” said Thurston. “The prospect of having classes in our city will increase the skills of our citizens, which should translate to increased employability for them and better jobs.”
Thurston understands how important enhancing jobs skills can be. After graduating from Morehouse College in Atlanta, he moved to Fort Lauderdale to become a property manager. One year in, he realized the position required a real estate license. He turned to Broward College, taking classes at a facility off Commercial Boulevard. In the years since, two of his four children attended Broward College before transferring to Florida State University and Florida Atlantic University.
Now as the “go-to” leader of Lauderhill, he’s is thrilled to be working with Broward College again to empower his city’s residents.

If you are dedicated to promoting opportunity and pushing residents of Broward County to achieve their highest potential, Broward UP™ is a county-wide movement for you to get behind. Here’s how you can partner.
Kids & Teen College introduces children to priceless opportunities
Parents want to provide their kids with tools and skills that will land them a good job in the future. In today’s world, there is a lot of competition, and employers require applicants to have previous experience or an impressive set of skills.
Broward College offers a program that provides children, ages 8 to 15 with a headstart on higher education. “The Kids & Teen College” is designed as a way for children to gain early College experience but more importantly to give them an insight on where they may attend College as well as what their path of study will be when they get there,” says Diane Peart, associate vice president of Workforce and Continuing Education.
Meeting the needs of the community
“What we have learned during our yearly surveys is that parents do not just want a summer camp. They want their kids learning, they want to see a return on their investment, and more than anything, they want a program that will help their children get a good job in the future,” says Peart.
The Kids & Teen College is precisely that program, offering courses that mirror today’s high-demand careers. The program offers courses in Aviation, Nursing, Business, Education, Marketing, and more. It will run from June 17 to August 2.
Two critical requirements employers seek are embedded in every course offered at the Kids & Teen College– technology and soft skills. Both components are indispensable in today’s workforce, as a recent study shows that over 70 percent of employers find applicants lack proper soft skills.
Introducing the College Experience
During the six-week summer program, students attend the kids and teen version of college classes. This summer, industry certifications were added to the program, and are available to children between the ages of 10 and 15. They consist of one full week of intensive classes.
Classes include discussions, presentations, lectures, a small project, and exams. Students have the opportunity to tour the campus and see each of the eight pathways offered at the college up close.
Each career pathway comprises a group of occupations that share common skills. Broward College offers studies in the following categories: Arts, Humanities, Communication and Design (AHCD); Business; Education; Health Sciences; Industry, Manufacturing, Construction and Transportation (IMCT); Public Safety; Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); and Social Behavioral Sciences and Human Services (SBSHS). Within each pathway, you can pursue all types of degrees (AA, AS, and Bachelor’s) and technical certifications.
Both the certifications and the courses offered during the five remaining weeks highlight the main program of each pathway.
Working towards Broward College’s greater mission
“The main goal of this program is to show young children, and their parents, the opportunities available to them at Broward College and inspire them to come back and pursue their career here, knowing that it’s an affordable, highly-regarded, local college,” explains Peart.
And the data supports the success of the program – thirteen percent of children who participated in the program later attend Broward College to pursue either a degree or a technical certificate.
The earlier children are introduced to higher education, the better, says Peart. “This is especially important for areas like STEM – the earlier we pick their interest, the better chance of teens pursuing these fields in College,” she adds.
The deadline to register and pay for classes for this summer is June 10, 2019. Visit broward.edu/youth for more information on courses available, costs, and locations.
Land that summer job that will get you ahead
“One of the challenges we often hear from students when we talk to them about career and job opportunities is that employers are looking for hires with more experience. This often limits the kind of jobs or positions they qualify for,” says Fortin Jean-Pierre, lead coordinator of Career Services at Broward College.
He recommends that one-way students can build their work experience is to make the most out of the summer and get a seasonal job.
Although some college students opt for odd jobs such as babysitting, dog sitting, camp counselors, retail, and restaurant positions, the Career Center at Broward College can help you by connecting you to local employers that offer opportunities that align with your professional goals and current education path.
Whether you seek employment through the Career Center or you’re searching for that opportunity on your own, the staff offers some to landing that job and taking advantage of the opportunity. We’re sure you’ll find these helpful.
Clean up your resume
Yes, you may be searching for a job so you can boost your resume, but even if you have no previous experience, you can still list the skills you possess. Include clubs and organizations you are a part of and any volunteer experience you have. Show your potential employer that you have the qualities they need. The Career Center offers a free consultation to prepare your resume and cover letter. Visit any of their campus locations for more information.
Practice your interview skills
Interviews can be nerve-racking, especially if you have never done one before. But you can practice and prepare for it. To polish your interview skills, Broward College offers InterviewStream, an online tool that allows you to practice anytime from anywhere. All you need to do is create an account using your Broward College student email, and you’re all set!
Take advantage of your network
If you think you don’t have a network, you’re wrong. Even with minimal professional experience, your network is your family and friends. You never know who may know someone who owns a business or works at a place hiring for the summer. Ask the people you know for job opportunities.
Pay extra attention to internships
“I would recommend students do internships as they are the perfect option to gain experience and build that resume with jobs that match their professional goals while earning some steady extra cash,” explains Jean-Pierre.
Many students find internships that offer credits toward their degree, but regardless of the type of internship, it’s estimated that they increase your chance of being hired by 50 percent, says Jean-Pierre. Many of the companies that work with the Career Center will offer full-time positions to outstanding students that complete internships.
Work on your soft skills
Soft skills are your attributes, which is the reason why they are so valuable to employers. Jean-Pierre explains that this is the biggest requirement for employers. “A recent survey I looked at stated that 77 percent of employers find that their candidates lack soft skills and that 67 percent of hiring managers would rather hire somebody who has soft skills even if their hard skills are weak.”
To address this challenge, the College offers soft skill credentialing that helps students improve on four critical areas: communication, teamwork, professionalism, and critical thinking.

Where Dreams Come True: Disney Leadership Retreat Sets Students Up for Success
Leaning back into the Daisy Duck-embroidered pillow on her desk chair as she looked out at the Disney posters that adorn her office walls at Broward College, Stephanie Repaci imagined what it would take to create a program in which students could develop the teamwork and leadership skills that employers now demand. It didn’t take very long for the Director of to identify the perfect setting where dreams come true.
For the past five years, Repaci has led a group of students to the “Happiest Place on Earth,” where they apply problem-solving, and decision-making skills learned in the classroom to the behind-the-scenes workings of Disney World. The trip to the Orlando theme park and resort is the final piece of a Student Life development program designed to set participants up for success, whether they are transferring to a four-year university or moving into the workforce immediately after completion of their degrees or certificates at Broward College.
“We’re still hearing from employers across the United States that there’s a significant skills gap with students who are graduating from college,” said Repaci, a self-proclaimed “Disney nut” who grew up watching the films, singing the songs and visiting the parks that spawned the American icon. “Students, in the eyes of employers, are ill-prepared or don’t have the workplace competencies that companies want them to have at the point of graduation.”
Repaci said students were in the past able to develop these “soft skills” on the job, but now companies expect an accelerated workforce-readiness that includes, at the very least, strong communication and time management tools, positive attitudes and robust work ethics before being hired. Using the Walt Disney World Resort as a backdrop, students receive eye-opening insight into how these principles are applied in the operation of the park.
Award-Winning Presentation
Broward College was one of the first higher education institutions to take advantage of the College-edition of Disney’s Youth Education Series, said Repaci, who received the 2019 Student Development Commission Exemplary Practice Award from the Association of Florida Colleges for her presentation on the annual “Student Life Leadership Retreat” at the AFC Student Development Commission Spring Conference, in Ocala. The AFC also awarded $500 toward the Broward College Foundation’s first-generation scholarship program, which the State of Florida matched with another $1,000.
“The Student Life Leadership Retreat” is structured similar to a 6-8-week college course. Before leaving for Disney World, approximately 20 students complete individual and group assignments that include textbook readings, essays, and presentations. The curriculum is based on “Creating Magic” by Lee Cockerell, a former executive vice president of Walt Disney World Operations who, Repaci says, has greatly influenced her leadership style. The six-day experience in Orlando also involves a community service module, where Broward College participants volunteer at Give Kids the World Village, an 84-acre resort in Central Florida that caters to children with critical illnesses and their families.
The remaining four days are spent inside the theme park. A Disney cast member facilitates each training session in key areas of the park where students translate concepts of leadership, teamwork and creating a culture of excellence that can be applied to their academic goals as well as their on-campus leadership role.
Building Relationships
Once training ends in the early afternoon, students get the rest of the day to spend in the park. Repaci said this time helps reinforce a stronger connection to the campuses, Student Life and Broward College, as a whole.
“This is critical because what we are trying to do is build relationships,” said Repaci. “We recognize from a nationwide perspective that students who are engaged or active in their college campuses have a much higher likelihood to complete their coursework and succeed.”
For participating in the program, students receive a letter grade and three elective credits, in addition to the soft skills they develop during the experience. To her credit, Repaci continues to receive accolades from student affairs professionals across the nation who want to adopt her program to their campuses.
“Student development is our bread and butter,” said Repaci. “So, this program fits in perfectly with Student Life’s mission, while simultaneously, driving a sense of belonging to Broward College.”
Watch a recap of the Student Life Retreat here -
If you are excited about growing as an individual and enhancing your overall perspective of the world, Student Life can elevate your Broward College experience beyond studying or listening to lectures.
Year-Round Pell Grants Make Summer School More Accessible
Time is of the essence for Gregory Higgins. At 68-years-young, the Broward College student isn’t fooling around. Higgins is attending summer classes, with an eye toward graduating after the fall semester.
“It would have been easier just to chug along and graduate in four years,” said Higgins, who is on course to complete his undergraduate degree in Supervision and Management at Broward College in three years. “At my age, I’m looking to get through school as fast as I can.”
Higgins is one of 1,1938 Broward College students who is taking advantage of year-round Pell Grants this summer semester. The financial aid is perfect for students like Higgins, who are on a fast track to graduate and either enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year university soon after, or in his case, enroll in law school by 2020.
College students who need additional financial resources to complete their education sooner and more cost-effectively received good news last year when Congress approved restoration of year-round Pell Grants in its spending bill. Reinstatement of the year-round money allows students to receive up to 150 percent of a regular grant award over the course of the academic year, which makes summer classes more accessible and completing their degrees faster than they would otherwise more likely.
Up until last year, students attending summer classes could only use whatever grant aid they had not used in the fall and spring semesters. As a result, some students had to choose between taking the summer semester off or paying for tuition out-of-pocket.
Fast Track to Graduation
The additional grant aid is not only making that decision easier; research indicates it’s also helping students sustain momentum toward their degrees. That’s particularly important for students, who, due to work or family responsibilities, often can’t maintain 12 credit hours in a given semester. Making up classes in the summer makes graduation on time for these students that much more realistic.
Theresa Cowan, associate vice president for Financial Aid, said Broward College students who were enrolled for both fall and spring semesters must be taking a least six credits in the summer to receive their Pell award. Students who enroll in less than six credits may be still eligible for a limited grant.
She said all students must have their summer schedules finalized by June 6, 2019. Any changes after that date will not be included in the student’s financial aid award. However, the deadline does not apply to Broward College students who apply for Summer 3 only. All students receiving financial aid should check myBC frequently to review award amounts.
To be eligible for a Pell award, a Broward College student must demonstrate exceptional financial need on the FAFSA, be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen and have not yet received a bachelor’s, graduate or professional degree.
Eligible students who need help with college costs including tuition, fees and other educational expenses can inquire about Pell Grants, a form of federal financial aid that typically does not have to be repaid, at the Financial Aid Office.

Spatial Computing Arrives – Broward College and Magic Leap Partner for New Program
In the constant search to bring innovation and new technologies to the classroom, Broward College is partnering with Magic Leap, the leader in spatial computing, to launch one of the first spatial computing degree programs in the country. Courses will start during the 2019-2020 academic year.
“This is an incredible opportunity for our students and our community,” says Broward College President Gregory Adam Haile, Esq. “It’s not only an exciting career path, but it will allow us to build on our innovative approach to education as our faculty take immersive learning to new heights.”
The Exciting Era of Spatial Computing
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a dinosaur in your living room? With Magic Leap One, you can now live the experience. Spatial computing combines virtual and augmented reality using the space we are in, relying on the software rather than the hardware.
Magic Leap, has developed Magic Leap One – a personal device that includes a pair of glasses, a small wireless engine, and a mission control that work together to bring the digital world to our physical space. With this technology, anything in the digital world is adapted to the physical space, and the user will believe that everything they are seeing and hearing is real.
Bringing Spatial Computing to the Classroom
Spatial computing is used in a variety of fields. It can be applied to create digital worlds and adventures for Virtual Reality (VR) experiences such as Pokemon GO!, or allow creators and programmers to develop applications and software using the space around them.
It’s easy to think that this technology is mostly for entertainment purposes, but the use of the application in education is promising. By partnering with schools and higher education institutions, the use of this technology will break barriers for students and faculty. Rather than reading and looking at pictures on a book, they can now interact and experiment with the objects and transform their classroom into an interactive lab.
Cutting-edge Technology at Broward College
The partnership will provide many benefits to students, faculty, and staff. Broward College will have access to Magic Leap’s spatial computing platform and its pool of highly skilled professionals. Additionally, the College will create s spatial computing lab on the A. Hugh Adams Central campus in Davie.
Through the partnership the College has the opportunity to provide its personnel with industry experience and, with help from the Magic Leap Education Team, they will engage Broward UP™ communities and local high schools throughout the year to provide demonstrations, support hackathons, and highlight the opportunities for cutting-edge education at Broward College.
The initial participating technician training programs are Computer Science, Aviation Maintenance, Dental Hygiene, and Marine Mechanics. Spatial computing will also be available for Workforce & Continuing Education, Supply Chain Management, and Nursing.
