Germanna Community College's Center for Workforce and Community Education awarded $16,500 Institute of Excellence Grant

Germanna Community College's Center for Workforce and Community Education has been awarded a $16,500 Institute of Excellence grant for the development and implementation of a Medical Office Assistant program. With the region's growing population base, two new hospitals, and the expansion of regional clinics, Germanna is committed to working with the college's medical partners to support local health care community needs. In addition to being identified locally as a important career, it has been identified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as an occupation "growing faster than average."


The local health care community will identify curriculum needs and local one-stops will help identify potential program participants. The new program will incorporate field trips, job shadowing, and possible internship/externship opportunities, to enhance learning and foster employment success.

My thanks to Dean Martha O'Keefe for her leadership and work and to all of those who assisted her.

Germanna Community College Announces Class of 2011 - President's Leadership Academy for Faculty and Staff

Germanna Community College is proud to announce the inaugural class of our new President’s Leadership Academy for employees of the College. Over 40 qualified faculty and staff were nominated for 14 spots. Therefore, the selection was especially difficult and many others who were equally deserving were not selected. We hope they will be nominated for future classes.


Those selected more than met the criteria as described in their nomination forms and come from a variety of roles, responsibilities, backgrounds, and college locations. The Class of 2011 includes members of all five employee groups and will begin their monthly sessions on September 17. As part of their work together, the Class of 2011 will split into two teams, each to work on an internal service learning project to benefit the college and the people we serve.
