New Innovation Abstract:
In "A&P I Inspiration Night," William C. Krieger, Director, Arts and Sciences Division, at Montana State University-Great Falls, describes a strategy for advising and challenging students to take a hard look at opportunities in their Anatomy and Physiology program. Using current students to describe the programs that they pursue, in an informal  situation, confirms the idea that the more students know about the major they have selected, the better they can assess whether that choice (or another) would be the more appropriate for them.

MHC at your Service
Oftentimes we hear from students and employees that the support services we offer on campus are very helpful, but students are not always aware that they are available. To help promote services on campus, the “MHC at your Service” fair will be held in Centennial Hall on Tuesday, February 23 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Participating areas will include:
  • Academic Advising
  • Academic Resource Centre
  • Disabilities Services
  • Library
  • Students’ Association
  • Student Counselling
  • Student Employment and Career Centre
  • Student Financial Aid
  • Residence
  • Sport & Wellness
If you know a student who could benefit from any of the support services offered on campus, please share this information with them. This is also a great opportunity for employees to learn more about the services available on campus so that we can all help students find the support they need to achieve success.



Rotary Music Festival
The annual Rotary Music Festival will take place at MHC from March 8 to 21. In past years, this event has booked the Courtyard and Crowfoot Rooms for warm up sessions; however, due to renovations these rooms will not be available. As a result, musical groups will be using the Cuboid and Centennial Hall to “warm up” during the festival. Thank you in advance for your understanding.



2010 Employee Recognition Program
It is now February and that means it is time to kick off our 2010 Employee Recognition Program! You can help make Medicine Hat College a great place to work by participating! All you have to do is nominate a colleague or group whose contribution to the college community has been particularly worthy of appreciation. Just being nominated by a co-worker, who takes the time to spotlight a deserving individual or group, can be as satisfying as being selected to receive the award.

Medicine Hat College has four awards to honour its outstanding achievers who have made a positive impact within the college and/or college community and are deserving of extra recognition:

1. College Employee of the Year
2. Academic Achievement Award
3. Service Achievement Award
4. Innovation Award

Nomination and selection procedures, information regarding the criteria for each award, and nomination forms are available online. Please feel free to contact Human Resources for further information. Nomination deadline is February 28, 2010.

Who will YOU nominate?
