Worthington Atlantic City Campus By Diana Lojewski Bill Keener, director of security and public safety, provided follow-up instructions to WACC students during a recent fire alarm and lock down drill as part of regular emergency preparedness training. Vita Stovall, advisor and adjunct professor, shares the women at the WACC from student services, admissions and financial aid came together to play the Biggest Loser for the month of March. In recognition of Women’s Month, the women collaborated to take charge of their health and compete in a weight challenge. As an incentive, each woman agreed to pay $10 to participate and the winner would receive the money. Each week the women sent each other motivational quotes as an encouraging gesture to help them with their weight loss journey. The winner for the month of March was Dr. Alice Rainey who had a 3.89 percent weight loss. Everyone was so excited they decided to continue the weight challenge in April. Joining the group are: Missie Taylor from facilities and Maria Rose from security. The women are all out to get their money back from Alice! WACC student worker Ana Valdez was the winner of a 2-pound chocolate bunny. The winner of the pink rabbit was Kierra McQueen. Five additional gifts were awarded as part of the free raffle and Decorate an Easter Egg Event.

Bob invited award-winning poet and Beacons by the Sea Visiting Scholar Kathleen Graber to speak. Adjunct instructor Fran Rauscher brought his English class as well. Bob tells us it was a moving and inspiring visit by the award-winning poet who grew up in Wildwood. Fine idea, Bob! Student David J. Vansavage shared, “Ms. Graber gave a clear explanation of poetry’s Beacons by the Sea Visiting Scholar Kathleen Graber gave CMCC history and English students much to think about April 9. place in modern society and a profound profile of Holocaust and Genocide poetry.” Student Kim Hannum, added, “Ms. Graber brought us a sense of the horror and resilience of the tragedies of the Holocaust.” Speaking of pizzazz, Mike Bolicki, social science and education, took his Psychology of Exceptionality class to a group home in Lower Township April 16.
