Welcome to DCC! 

If you are a new student, 

returning student or you have 

chosen to take some courses 

this summer to transfer to the 

four-year institution you are 

currently attending, we extend 

a special welcome to you for 

the 2013 Summer Session. 

2012-2013 has been another 

exciting and successful 

year for DCC’s faculty, staff 

and students. As we reflect 

on the year’s events, our 

unwavering commitment to 

student learning and success 

continues to be our central 

goal. As you may know, 

Danville Community College has always sought to strike a proper balance between our 

outstanding college transfer and technical/workforce services programs. Speaking of the 

technical and workforce services areas, we are pleased that DCC will be the recipient of 

$3.7 million in state funds to expand a number of technical programs, such as industrial 

maintenance, precision machining, and welding. The state funding will be combined with 

approximately $3.5 million in private and federal funds, bringing the total to more than $7 

million. Other programs affected by the additional funding will include printing/graphic 

arts, building trades, and electronics. We are grateful to Governor Robert F. McDonnell, 

our legislative delegation, our industry partners, and the Tobacco Commission for their 

support in launching this exciting initiative. If one factors in the $7 million raised in the 

recent Major Gifts Campaign, the College will have access to almost $15 million over the 

next several years to strengthen program capacity. Clearly, DCC’s future students will be the 

beneficiaries. 

Speaking of the future, on August 1, 2013, a new president will assume the leadership helm 

at DCC. It will be an exciting new era for this great community college! 

Very sincerely, 

B. Carlyle Ramsey 

President 

Dr. Carlyle Ramsey (second from right) was honored by the Upsilon Phi Chapter of Phi Theta 

Kappa, the international honor society. Shown with him are Phi Theta Kappa advisors Vickie

Through DCC TARE Program 

Haddock Finds Employment 

After moving to the Danville area less than a year ago with what 

he describes as “next to nothing”, 24-year- old Tyrell Haddock has 

completed the Training Assessment, Retention and Employment 

(TARE) program, landed a good full-time job and is now able to 

support his family which includes a wife and four children. 

Looking back, Haddock grew up in Brooklyn, NY, having moved 

around in various housing situations with his single parent mother, 

older brother and a younger sister. When his brother left the family, 

it was up to Haddock to care for his “little sister” while his mom 

worked. 

“I resented it then that I had to sit around and babysit my sister, 

but now I know it has made me the man that I am today, and how I 

know I must set an example in caring for my family,” Haddock says. 

Married at 21, Haddock and his 20-year-old bride, Lateisha, 

struggled to make ends meet and soon he was living with three 

children, his wife’s sister and her two children, another sister, and 

his mother-in-law in a three bedroom apartment. At the time, he 

was the only breadwinner in the house, earning money by working 

various security jobs. He admits, he had never heard of Danville, VA 

until almost a year ago, when the young family followed his motherin-law 

to Danville where she temporarily relocated. 

“My wife and children moved here in April 2012, but I stayed a 

while longer in Brooklyn trying to work because I did not know 

what the job situation would be like here in Danville,” Haddock 

explains. 

Three months later, in July 2012, Haddock moved to Danville to 

be with his family, which by now had increased to four children. 

He found himself unemployed, frustrated, and having to rely on 

public assistance through the Danville Division of Social Services’ 

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. He 

initially was assigned to perform job search activities, but he was 

unsuccessful. 

In October 2012, Haddock was assigned to the Training, 

Assessment, Retention, Employment (TARE) program housed on 

the Danville Community College campus. TARE, sponsored by the 

Danville/Pittsylvania County Social Services and Pittsylvania County 

Community Action, offers assessments through the Test of Adult 

Basic Education (TABE), pre-employment training, individual and 

group counseling, computer skills, vocational training, educational 

training, supportive services, and assistance with job placement. 

Classes are held monthly, and participants commit to a four-week 

session which meets five days per week, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. 

While he thought he knew a lot about some of the courses 

offered, Haddock says the job preparation component really 

opened his eyes about interviewing skills, writing resumes, elevator 

speeches and completing applications. 

“Mrs. (Ann) Goins (class instructor) was wonderful. She 

encouraged us and brought in actual job applications for us to 

complete,” Haddock says. “She was so helpful. It is because of her 

that I have a job today.” 

Haddock completed two DCC courses – Introduction to 

Computers and Job Preparedness, earning a Gold Career Readiness 

Certificate (CRC). In January 2013, he joined the staff of New 

Horizons Security Services Inc., after completing several weeks of 

training. Haddock is happy that he was assigned to security for the 

DCC campus. 

“I was 

unemployed for 

eight months when 

I came to Danville 

and I had been 

used to working, 

earning a living 

for my family,” 

Haddock says 

noting his four 

children includes 

Tyeisha, 5; Omari, 

4; N’shayla, 2; and 

Noah, nine months. 

“I am happy right 

Tyrell Haddock 

where I am. My bills 

are being taken care of, my kids now have clothes and beds to sleep 

on, and I am able to provide.” 

Haddock shares his experiences with other TARE participants by 

speaking to on-going classes and offering encouragement to others. 

“I plan to look ahead and continue to work in the security and 

law enforcement field,” Haddock adds. “But right now I just want be 

stable for a while. The TARE program helped me a lot.” 

For more information about the TARE program, please contact 

the TARE office in Wyatt Building, Room 112; call 434.797.8494; or 

email info@dcc.vccs.edu.

IST Program Recognized For 

Innovation In Education, Outreach 

Danville Community 

College’s Information Systems 

Technology (IST) program 

was honored recently with 

the 2013 Innovation in 

Education and Outreach 

Award by the Southern 

Piedmont Technology Council. 

The award recognizes the 

department’s innovative uses 

of technology to promote 

and enhance educational 

opportunities and outreach. 

The DCC Information 

Systems Technology 

Program focuses on three 

specializations: Computer 

Programming, PC Technology 

and Networking. These 

specializations are led 

by dedicated staff who 

consistently put their 

students first and work hard 

to increase students’ learning 

opportunities. The faculty are 

also modifying the curricula to reflect the rapidly 

changing technology world. 

Charlie Adams, Professor of Information 

Systems Technology, has been teaching at 

DCC for 24 years. He leads the PC Technology 

specialization, providing courses in computer 

software and systems applications. Adams has 

expanded the PC Technology track to offer a more 

diverse selection of IT courses and give students 

a strong skill-base in problem solving. Adams 

also offers advanced courses in Oracle PL/SQL to 

support the PC Technology and Programming 

specializations. 

Cassandra Satterfield, Associate Professor 

of Information Systems Technology, leads the 

Computer Programming specialization. In her 12 

years at the College, she has evolved from teaching only one 

language per semester to offering several languages, including 

VB, C++, Java, and C# over several semesters. She recently 

developed a new Gaming and Mobile Application Development 

specialization which is increasing in popularity. She teaches 

students how to design, create and maintain programs related 

to gaming, simulation and mobile applications. Her students 

learn various languages and programming environments for 

the latest handheld devices, including Google Android, Apple 

iOS, and Windows Mobile development. Her work allows area 

students to be prepared for the latest emerging technology 

positions. 

Danville Community College’s Information Systems Technology (IST) program was honored with the 2013 

Innovation in Education and Outreach Award by the Southern Piedmont Technology Council. Accepting the 

award on behalf of the college are: (seated) Steve Carrigan, Associate Professor of Information Systems 

Technology, holding the award; (standing, left to right): Dr. Chris Ezell, Vice President, Academic and 

Student Services; DCC President Dr. Carlyle Ramsey; Charlie Adams, Professor of Information Systems 

Technology; John Heinrich, Associate Professor of Electrical/Electronics Technology; Jeff Arnold, Vice 

President for Workforce Services; Tommy Cannon, Interim Dean, Business and Engineering Technology 

Division; and Cassandra Satterfield, Associate Professor of Information Systems Technology. 

With 15 years of teaching 

experience at DCC, Steve 

Carrigan, Associate Professor 

of Information Systems 

Technology, continuously 

improves the Networking 

specialization. His courses 

provide an emphasis on 

designing, creating, and 

maintaining local and wide 

area networks, including 

routers, switches, wireless 

technologies, and voice-over- 

IP telecommunications. He 

began teaching a modest 

selection of classes and has 

expanded his offerings to 

include advanced courses in 

Cisco CCNA, CCNP, CVoice, 

Security, VMware, Linux, 

Cloud Technologies, and 

Microsoft Operating systems. 

Carrigan has repeatedly 

sacrificed his time during 

College breaks to revamp 

the labs and equipment. The Networking 

specialization program now boasts one of the 

best equipped networking labs in the region, 

providing the most comprehensive training 

available. 

The faculty’s dedication has led to 

improvements and enhanced the educational 

opportunities at DCC. The instructors 

are constantly looking for feedback from 

business leaders to adjust their curriculum. 

Under the direction of the IST advisory 

committee, the DCC IST department has met 

all set recommendations from the business 

community. DCC is now a Microsoft, Cisco, 

and VMWare Academy. With the setup of the 

DCC Certification Testing Center, students 

have the opportunity to obtain industry certification on-site. 

Training in voice technologies, including Cisco Call Manager and 

Unity, cloud computing, and virtualization have been added 

to the curriculum. The department has worked hard to gain all 

necessary equipment to support the newly-added applications. 

The DCC IST faculty recently blended Linux operating system 

training into the already established Microsoft courses and 

added SQL courses. Thanks to the dedication of the IST faculty, 

Danville Community College is preparing its students for 

positions in the ever-changing technology field.

SUCCESS Sp●tlights 

Todd Blanks of South Boston is 

seeking a successful and rewarding 

career with a reputable company 

in the Heating, Ventilation and Air 

Conditioning (HVAC) field. He enrolled 

in DCC in fall 2011, and is expected to 

complete his studies in May 2013, receiving 

a Diploma in Air Conditioning and 

Refrigeration, and Certificates in Summer 

Air Conditioning and Refrigeration and 

Winter Air Conditioning Servicing programs. 

Raised on a farm, Blanks, the son of Jay 

and Teresa Blanks, says his family wanted 

him to have another career in case farming 

didn’t work out for him. 

“My grandfather is a tobacco farmer and 

I have worked the farm for as long as I can 

remember, full time for about six years,” he 

says. “My parents and grandparents wanted 

me to be prepared and have another career 

to pursue, in case anything ever happened 

to the farm.” 

“I looked at other trades and found HVAC 

to be one of the few industries still growing 

and I knew that it would be a rewarding and 

ever-changing career path,” Blanks explains. 

He says working and going to school full time has been his 

biggest challenge. But he says hard work and perseverance has

Blanks, whose father and brother, 

Phillip, are both DCC alumni, was fully 

aware of the opportunities he had at 

DCC. He is also a member of the National 

Technical Honor Society. However, he 

says it is DCC faculty and staff who have 

encouraged him to succeed. 

“My instructors, Derick Vicks 

(Assistant Professor of Air Conditioning

(Associate Professor of Air Conditioning & 

Refrigeration) have always encouraged me 

to be open minded and look at all problems 

from multiple sides,” Blanks says. “Mr. Vicks 

has always taught that your education does 

not end on graduation day, that every day

Sunshine Smith 

Science/College Transfer 

Sunshine Smith knows exactly what she wants to do for 

a career. 

“My ultimate career goal is to be a professor at DCC,” 

Smith says. “I have been teaching preschool for nine years so I 

enjoy teaching others. I am ready to teach older children and 

see the awe in their faces when learning about genetics – just 

as I was.” 

Smith began her studies at DCC in the summer of 2011. She 

plans to graduate in the fall 2013 with an Associate of Arts and 

Science Degree in Science. A native of Danville, she chose DCC 

to advance her career in education. 

“I found that DCC was the best place for that opportunity.” 

Smith plans to continue her education by transferring to 

Averett University. 

A full-time student, Smith has maintained academic 

excellence, earning her recognition on both the DCC 

President’s and Vice 

“The best thing 

about DCC for 

me is the friendly 

atmosphere, 

knowledgeable 

professors who are 

more than eager 

to help me at 

any time and the 

convenience of the 

flexible hours and 

online courses” 

President’s Honors 

Lists. She is a member 

of Phi Theta Kappa, the 

international honor 

society for two-year 

college students and a 

recipient of the Ahmed 

Children Endowed 

Scholarship. 

Active in the 

community, Smith 

participates in various 

running and walking 

races. She is a den 

mother with her son’s 

Boy Scout troop; a 

green team member 

for environmental 

protection; and the 

social director at Carlisle 

School – Danville. 

“The best thing 

about DCC for me is the 

friendly atmosphere, 

knowledgeable professors who are more than eager to help 

me at any time and the convenience of the flexible hours and 

online courses,” she says. 

Smith notes one challenge she had to overcome was time 

management. 

“I am a full time mother of three children and I have a full 

time job as a preschool teacher, so I would definitely say time 

management has been the biggest obstacle,” Smith says. “My 

tremendous support system at home, the more than helpful 

professors and staff and the accommodating hours at DCC has 

helped me more than anything to overcome my challenges 

for going back to school.” 

Smith notes that her husband has also been a huge source 

of encouragement. 

“My husband, David, told me that if that is what you want, 

I will stand beside you 100 percent and help you all I can,” she 

says. “He does this every day - from helping me study for finals 

to taking care of our three children. He is the most wonderful, 

supportive person in my life.” 

Smith notes that DCC faculty and staff have also 

encouraged her. 

“All of the professors have been encouraging and helpful 

in my studies,” Smith adds. “One that stands out in my mind 

would be Dr. Mark Sanderford (Professor of Biology). I told 

him I was so intrigued and fascinated by the way in which he 

taught biology, I was going to switch my interest from English 

to Science. 

He told me 

‘that’s great 

Sunny, you 

would make a 

great science 

teacher.’” 

Smith says 

she would 

encourage 

others to 

attend DCC. 

“DCC is the 

best place for 

whatever you 

are looking for 

- classroom or 

online courses. 

The staff and 

faculty are 

extremely 

friendly and 

helpful; they 

are truly 

concerned 

about a student’s advancement in his or her chosen career,” 

Smith says. “DCC is a great learning facility for the diversity of 

people in our community. From the Admissions Office to the 

Learning Resource Center, the DCC atmosphere and staff are 

very welcoming.”

Brandon Dawson 

Industrial Maintenance Technician 

Brandon Dawson 

is a prime 

example of 

career advancement 

through DCC and the 


program. 

“I started out as a 

temporary employee 

in EPSU (Equipment 

Prep Set Up) at Nestle 

for a year and then 

transitioned to a EPSU 

flex associate the next 

year. Now I have been 

offered and accepted 

an electrical technician 

position as of March 

2013,” Dawson says. 

A 2006 graduate of George Washington High School, 

Dawson chose Danville Community College to further 

his education. He plans to graduate in May 2013 with an 

Associate of Applied Science Degree in Industrial Maintenance 

Technician. 

A Danville native and the son of Dexter and Marjorie 

Dawson, he says his parents were instrumental in his 

attending college. 

“Both of my parents went back to college to obtain their 

bachelor’s degrees at a later age,” Dawson explains. “Watching 

them balance their careers and education was the key to my 

success. My dad instilled the expression in me, ‘Success Is 

When Preparation Meets Opportunity’.” 

While attending college full time and also working full time, 

Dawson has maintained high academic standards, earning 

him recognition on the DCC President’s Honors List. While 

he says he’s interested in joining the many DCC clubs and 

organizations available, he hasn’t had the time to fit it in his 

busy schedule. 

“I chose DCC to develop a relevant career in today’s 

workforce,” Dawson says. “The Industrial Maintenance Program 

also offers flexible class schedules for students who work full 

time. The past two years I have been working 40-50 hours per 

week.” 

“I had to learn how to balance working full time with 

being a full time student,” he continues. “On my first stint as 

a DCC student at age of 18, I lacked the time management 

skills necessary to work full time and be a full time student. 

Then, being unemployed for a period of time teaches you life’s 

lessons. One thing it showed me is how an education will be 

the ticket to success.” 

Dawson says DCC faculty and staff have played a role in his 

success at DCC. 

“All of my Industrial Maintenance instructors have been 

more than helpful. Without them none of this would have been 

possible,” he notes. “With the instructors having experience in 

the industrial field, they knew how to transfer the knowledge 

to the students. 

“The Industrial Maintenance courses are extremely 

interactive with lots of hands on projects that must be 

completed. It consisted of real modern industrial equipment 

with lots of troubleshooting activities. This is what gave me a 

step up when I applied for the maintenance position at Nestle’, 

I was able to transfer the knowledge I acquired to the real 

industrial world,” Dawson says. 

He plans to further his education, but not immediately after 

finishing DCC. 

“I would like to obtain a Bachelor of Science Degree in 

Engineering - mechanical or electrical; I haven’t set a time table 

as of now. My ultimate career goal is to one day become a 

mechanical or industrial 

engineer,” Dawson says. 

Would he encourage 

others to attend DCC? 

“Its convenience 

is the biggest selling 

point,” Dawson says. “But 

having instructors who 

genuinely care about 

what their students 

are learning helps also. DCC and the Industrial Maintenance

Air Conditioning & Refrigeration; 

Summer Air Conditioning & Refrigeration; 

Winter Air Conditioning Servicing 

Tim Good of Chatham had a goal when he enrolled at 

Danville Community College. 

“I wanted to learn a trade and HVAC (Heating, 

Ventilation and Air Conditioning) is a trade that can always be 

used,” Good says. 

He enrolled at DCC in fall 2011, and chose a triple major - Air 

Conditioning and Refrigeration, Summer Air Conditioning and 

Refrigeration and Winter Air Conditioning Servicing programs. 

He plans to complete studies for all three in May 2013. 

“After being laid off from Times Fiber, I was able to pick up 

Trade Act (Trade Re-Adjustment Act benefits) and choose what 

new career I wanted. I really didn’t know much about HVAC but 

I heard DCC had a great program, so I decided to give it a shot,” 

Good explains. “ 

When asked who 

encouraged him to 

attend college, Good 

notes “My wife, Maria. I 

had talked about going 

to college, but it just 

never seemed to be the 

right time. So, when 

the opportunity came

A full-time student with a wife and two children, Good says 

continuing his education has not been without challenges. 

“It has been a struggle being a full time student and 

also supporting a family, but with God’s help and a lot of 

determination I am overcoming those challenges,” Good says. 

He notes that his ultimate goal is to have his own mechanical 

business. 

“My instructors, Derick Vicks (Assistant Professor of Air 

Conditioning & Refrigeration) and Mark Bryant (Associate 

Professor of Air Conditioning & Refrigeration) are also very 

encouraging. They are always there to help give advice,” Good 

adds. 

Does he encourage others to attend DCC? 

“Yes. The instructors are awesome. I think DCC is an excellent 

college and the instructors are very knowledgeable and willing 

to go the extra mile to make sure you understand the material

Tyrell Hairston 


Tyrell Hairston is planning a career as a photographer. 

“I love designing. I’m not so much into mechanical 

things, not for a career anyway,” Hairston says. “Designing 

and photography will be something that I plan on doing for 

the rest of my life.” 

A 2010 graduate of George Washington High School, 

Hairston chose Danville Community College to further his 

education. He enrolled in the Graphic Imaging Technology 

program and plans to graduate in May 2013 with a Diploma in 

Graphic Imaging Technology. 

A Danville native and son of Evelyn Hairston, he says he 

chose DCC because of its affordability and the fact that it is 

close to home. 

“Many of my family and friends encouraged me (to attend 

DCC),” says Hairston, who notes that his mother is a DCC 

graduate. “My friend’s dad told me ‘If you want to land a good 

job, you better go to college.’” 

While being a 

full time student, 

“Designing and 

photography will be 

something that I plan 

on doing for the rest 

of my life.” 

Hairston has worked 

part-time in the 

Castle Café on 

campus, and in the 

Public Relations 

Office during the fall 

2012 semester. He 

has maintained high 

academic standards, 

earning recognition 

on both the DCC 

President’s and Vice President’s Honors Lists. 

Hairston notes that the DCC faculty and staff have been an 

encouragement to him. 

“I love the people that I have met, the student culture varies 

from all walks of life and it’s convenient,” says Hairston. “Sheila 

Wright (Professor of Graphic Imaging Technology) encouraged 

me to put 

myself out 

there as a 

designer and 

John Heinrich 

(Associate 

Professor of 

Electrical/ 

Electronics 

Technology) 

as a 

photographer.” 

Hairston 

plans to 

further his 

education, 

but not 

immediately 

upon finishing 

DCC. 

“I would 

like to take a 

few classes at 

a university 

later on in my life just to keep my graphic design skills and 

photography knowledge sharp. I’ve been told that Old 

Dominion University (ODU) has an amazing graphic design 

program,” Hairston says. 

“I would love to work as a photographer for various 

magazines, but I don’t want to limit my photography to 

just portraits and weddings,” he continues. “I want to do 

many different things like food photography and fashion 

photography and whatever else I can get into. I saved up to 

get a Nikon in spring of 2012 and I named it Debbie…Debbie 

Nikon.” 

Hairston says he would not hesitate to encourage students 

to attend DCC because “it’s convenient, affordable and the 

place to be!”

Elizabeth Hedrick 

Liberal Arts: Humanities Specialization/College Transfer 

Elizabeth 

Hedrick 

of 

Callands is 

uncertain 

of what her 

ultimate career 

goals will be, 

but as she 

heads towards 

earning her 

associate 

degree in May 

2013, she’s got 

her sights set 

on becoming 

a professional 

dancer. 

“That’s 

a rather 

long story,” 

Hedrick says, 

noting she 

will give the 

short, condensed version. “I bounced between every major 

imaginable from Interior Design/Architecture to Dietetics, 

but I could never get excited when I answered the all-famous 

question ‘So what are you going to major in?’ I finally realized 

just this past September that dance was the one answer that 

made me smile the biggest; therefore, it only made sense for 

me to major in it.” 

A 2011 high school graduate, Hedrick came to DCC that 

fall. However, she says coming to DCC was more about her 

indecisiveness, rather than her decisiveness. 

“I procrastinated in choosing a college for various reasons 

--- lack of a known major, cost, etc., but in the end, DCC was all 

that was left,” she explains. “Yet, if I had the opportunity to do 

it over again, I would not have it any other way. I love DCC. It is 

perfect for me.” 

A Danville native, she is the daughter of Anthony and 

Sharon Hedrick. Her father is an alumnus of DCC with an 

associate degree in data processing. 

“My parents certainly encouraged me to attend college, 

not so much in their words, but in their actions. They both 

supported me all through high school with assistance and 

guidance in applying for scholarships, in choosing a major, and 

in deciding where to attend college.” 

Hedrick is a full-time student, but also works part-time at 

DCC as an English and Chemistry tutor. In addition, Hedrick 

works part-time as a Magician’s assistant at the North Danville 

Theatre and as a tutor for a dance student. 

She has also received financial assistance to help defray 

college costs, such as, the Tobacco Financial Assistance Award, 

J. T. Minnie Maude Scholarship and the Peoples Mutual 

Telephone Company Endowed Scholarship. Despite a busy 

work schedule, Hedrick has been named to the DCC President’s 

Honors List and been active on campus as a member of Phi 

Theta Kappa, the international honor society for two-year 

college students, where she is the secretary. In the community, 

Hedrick is an active member of First Baptist Church in Gretna; 

has been on two summer mission trips with her church; has led 

the first graders for Vacation Bible School in the past; and sings 

in her church choir. This past summer, Hedrick choreographed 

two dance numbers for the Gretna Little Theatre. She and her 

family also pack shoe boxes during the Christmas season for 

Operation Christmas Child. 

Hedrick notes that DCC faculty and staff have been an 

encouragement for her. 

“Without a doubt, the best thing about DCC is the people 

– faculty, staff, 

and students. I

best thing about DCC

staff, and students.” 

have never met 

anyone who 

wasn’t willing to 

help in any way 

that he or she 

could,” Hedrick 

says. “I have had 

many wonderful 

professors and 

administrators who have encouraged me while I have been 

at DCC; however, the one person who has supported me the 

most would have to be Ms. Vickie Taylor (Assistant Professor 

of Sociology). 

“I can recall sitting in her office one afternoon and telling her 

of my troubled decision to major in dance,” Hedrick explains. 

“She reminded me that only I could make that decision and 

that in the end I would be the one to have to live with that 

choice.” 

Hedrick does plan to continue her education after she 

completes her DCC studies. She has been accepted at Hollins 

University in Roanoke where she plans to major in dance and 

minor in communications. 

Does she encourage others to attend DCC? 

“I would absolutely encourage others to attend DCC! The 

College is very committed to seeing each and every student 

succeed and become the best that he or she can be. We have 

amazing professors who are incredibly personable and easy to 

work with,” Hedrick says.

Mary Britton 

Liberal Arts - Humanities Specialization 

After losing her full-time job in the spring 2009, Mary 

Britton of Danville, who had worked full-time since the age 

of 16, was devastated. Receiving unemployment benefits 

and constantly looking for work was frustrating. 

Then, in August 2009, Britton was hired by the Danville Police 

Department as a school crossing guard, but for only 10 hours a 

week. Keeping the faith, her hours were eventually increased to 

20 hours a week, but she still worried how she would make ends 

meet. The answer to her prayers came in the mail in the form 

of a letter from FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) 

informing her that since she was now a dislocated worker she was 

eligible to receive federal financial aid and go to school. She was 

so excited to finally pursue her dream. 

Britton enrolled at DCC in spring 2010 and chose the Liberal 

Arts – Humanities Specialization program as her major. She plans 

to graduate in May 2013 and receive an Associate of Arts and 

Science Degree. Her career goal is to become a teacher. Making 

the transition to college was not easy 

“I love the 

diversity, the 

wonderful 

teachers and 

friendly staff.” 

for Britton. 

“Before I came to DCC I had severe 

anxiety in crowds, fear of public 

speaking and low self-esteem.” she 

explains. “My biggest challenge has 

been balancing my time in between 

school, work and home life.” 

Britton gives the credit to her 

caring professors and counselor for 

helping her to overcome challenges 

and fears. 

“Mrs. Helen Meadors (Assistant Professor of English) was most 

helpful, very nice and encouraging,” Britton says. “She made me 

feel confident in my ability to stand and speak in front of a class 

without fear.” 

Britton notes that the best thing about DCC is its people. 

“I love the diversity, the wonderful teachers and friendly staff,” 

Britton continues. “I was worried that I would be the only one 

my age at college and not fit in. There are all ages and origins. 

DCC does not discriminate against any religion, race, handicap 

or gender. DCC has a great mixture of creative students and 

knowledgeable teachers.” 

She is especially thankful for her friends, Ray Collins and Donna 

Brown, for their positive encouragement. 

“Ray was the first person to believe in me and supported my 

decision to return to school. He told me I would speak in front of 

hundreds of people one day,” Britton says. “He also bought me a 

computer, printer and paid for my textbooks for summer school. I 

mentioned to Mrs. Brown that I wanted to become a teacher, but I 

was terrified of public speaking. She told me she knew I could do 

it and continues to encourage me. 

“I knew by the age of six that I wanted to be a teacher, but could 

not afford to go college after high school. I am so appreciative 

for the generous Financial Aid package that DCC has to offer, for 

without it , none of this would have been possible. It has been 

my biggest blessing!” she says. 

“When I arrived at DCC, I had no idea what classes were required 

for my curriculum. Without the wise counsel of Dee Drinkard 

(Associate Professor of Psychology), my advisor, I would have been 

lost. He has encouraged me and has been there with me from the 

beginning to the end. JoLane Dunlap (Instructor and Counselor) 

offered me the first advice 

and encouragement. 

She helped me with the 

admissions process and 

suggested a program of 

study,” she adds. 

After graduating 

from DCC, Britton plans 

to transfer to Averett 

University to receive a 

Bachelor of Science Degree 

in Elementary Education 

and minor in Special 

Education. Her ultimate career goal is to obtain her Virginia 

Licensure and teach kindergarten through third grade. 

She is involved in many community activities, including 

Engage, March for Babies, Week of the Young Child, Children’s 

Puppet Ministry, Community Awareness Programs, After-school 

Tutorial Programs and Festival in the Park. On the DCC campus, 

she is also involved in the TEACH (To Educate Always Creates 

Hope) Club, led by Martha Tucker, Associate Professor of Early 

Childhood and Reading, who she says keeps her busy and 

motivated. 

Britton has had numerous DCC faculty and staff encourage her, 

including Cheryl Waller (Adjunct Instructor for Developmental 

Math) who was her most memorable teacher and who never left 

her side through her struggles with Developmental Math. Traci 

Daniel, DCC Transition Counselor, supported Britton’s upcoming 

adventure to the Virginia Tech National Science Foundation 

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. 

The REU Program is a Hands-On Minds On Multidisciplinary 

Internship that allows students to live and study on the VA 

Tech Campus for 10 weeks. Britton will have the opportunity 

to interact with other Liberal Arts, Science & Engineering 

undergraduates and college professors. She will participate 

in extensive research studying different approaches to 

understanding and preventing Societal Violence. Britton is one 

among the 10 students selected from national four-year colleges 

and universities and within the Virginia Community College 

System to participate in the program. 

Would she encourage others to attend DCC? 

“Yes. Do it now! Do not be afraid to follow your dream,” Britton 

says. “If you don’t try, you will never know, if you don’t take that 

first step. Don’t let fear or age or anything stop you from doing 

what your heart tells you to do. If someone had told me four 

years ago that I would be graduating at the age of 55 from DCC 

with an Associate (of Arts and Science) Degree in Liberal Arts, 

working at the Police Department, living at Virginia Tech for the 

summer and attending Averett (University) in the fall, I would not 

have believed it. Back then, I could not imagine me doing any 

of it, but now… I can’t imagine not doing it. Attending DCC has 

been a wonderful journey.”

Solving the 

Financial 

Aid 

P U ZZLE 

Many DCC students qualify for financial aid. To be considered, 

you should follow these 4 steps! 

1. 

Complete a FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL 

STUDENT AID (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. 

Students are encouraged to apply online to receive faster 

results. Students are also recommended to use the IRS Data 

Retrieval Tool to complete the FAFSA. It is the easiest, most 

accurate way to provide your tax data. For assistance, students 

may contact the Southern Piedmont Educational Opportunity 

Center (EOC) at 434.797.8577 or DCC Financial Aid Office at 

434.797.8567 for an individual or workshop appointment time. 

DCC’s federal school code is 003758. 

2. 

Receive the Student Aid Report and check 

information for accuracy. Please note it is not necessary 

to send the Student Aid Report to DCC. Afterwards, DCC 

will receive the application results electronically from the 

Department of Education. 

3. 

Respond to any verification or document 

request from the college. If the Data Retrieval Tool was 

not used to complete your FAFSA, you will need to request a 

free tax return transcript from the IRS. Go to www.irs.gov or call 

1-800-908-9946. 

4. 

Final decisions will not be determined until all 

information has been received and verified by the 

Financial Aid Office. Failure to turn in requested information 

will delay the process. 

5. 

Remember to apply early!!! 

YOU MUST APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID 

EACH SCHOOL YEAR! 

(there IS help!) 

Summer 2013 

Students who plan to enroll for the summer 2013 term 

must apply for the 2012-13 academic year and complete the 

2012-2013 FAFSA. You should be prepared to provide income 

information for the year 2011. Apply Now!! 

2013-2014 Applications 

Students who plan to enroll in the fall 2013 term must apply 

for the 2013-2014 academic year, and complete the 2013-2014 

FAFSA. You should be prepared to provide income information 

for the year 2012. Students are encouraged to apply as soon 

as tax returns have been completed or before JUNE 1, 2013. 

If you need assistance completing the FAFSA, contact the 

Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) at 434.797.8577 or 

the DCC Financial Aid office at 434.797.8567. If you have 

specific questions regarding your award, contact the DCC 

Financial Aid Office. Both offices are conveniently located on the 

first floor of the Wyatt Building.

Awards of other grants (i.e., Federal Supplemental Educational 

Opportunity Grant, College Scholarship Assistance Program, 

Part-time Tuition Assistance Program Grant, and Commonwealth

DISTANCE LEARNING 

DCC has expanded its distance learning offerings. The courses require the student to be selfmotivated, 

to receive and submit most course materials in written form, and to have and be 

comfortable using the required technology for the course. Always check with the instructor if you 

have questions. The distance learning courses are available in a variety of formats, including: 

• Web-based - courses delivered entirely online 

• Hybrid - courses that are offered online and through limited in-class instruction 

• Interactive video - courses which include real-time, two-way audio and video communication 

at local and remote sites 

• Video-based/DVD - courses where materials are checked out and the work is completed at 

home, independent of the classroom 

Visit the Virginia Community College System website at http://courses.vccs.edu/ to view distance 

learning classes offered by other colleges. Call us at 434.797.8467, toll free 800.560.4291 ext. 8467, 

or email info@dcc.vccs.edu for assistance in arranging a course from another VCCS college.

DCC Recognized For Sustainability Programs 

At State Conference 

Danville Community College was recognized recently for its 

sustainability programs at the Virginia Commonwealth University 

Energy and Sustainability Conference held in Richmond. The College 

received the Crystal Award, which recognizes leadership in the areas 

of energy and sustainability. Jerry Franklin, Director of Manufacturing 

and Technical Services, accepted the award on behalf of the DCC. 

“We feel we have an effective and innovative program in place to 

guide our students, faculty and community to develop new sustainable 

habits and appreciate this opportunity for recognition of our efforts,” 

Franklin said. 

Franklin noted the following initiatives in place that focus on energy 

and sustainability: 

1. “Sustainability Scholars” program, in which an award is earned upon 

completion of 15 credits from courses designated as having at least 

20 percent sustainability content. Sustainability content includes 

environmental science, alternative energy technologies (electric 

vehicles, bio-fuels, storage, solar, geothermal, low-head hydro, etc.), 

conservation, and improvement in “Environmental Performance 

Index” variables i.e. Environmental Health, Ecosystem Vitality, 

Productive Natural Resource Sustainability and Climate Change. 

Curricula impacted by this designation include Air Conditioning and 

Refrigeration, Computer-Aided Drafting and Design, Electrical and 

Electronics Engineering Technology, Automotive Analysis and Repair, 

and Building Trades. 

2. Career Studies Certificate program has been developed and focuses 

on Alternative Energy Technologies to meet the workforce needs of 

local sustainability-related companies. Danville has both a LiFePO4 

battery company and a solar panel manufacturer that need workers 

trained in these sustainable technologies. DCC’s battery technology 

course is rare among community colleges. The program also has 

courses in solar installation, energy conservation and wind energy 

generation. So far, approximately 55 students have taken classes in 

these technologies. 

3. Funding for professional development in sustainability topics. 

A portion of the college’s professional development budget 

is designated specifically toward training and education in 

sustainability topics. As an example, faculty members have been 

trained at UL Labs in the solar installation facility. 

4. DCC is a member of the Virginia Weatherization Center (VWC), and 

has trained contractors in home weatherization techniques. Four 

Danville and Martinsville homes, in need of weatherization, were 

used as learning platforms where $1,000 of material improvements 

were made in each home. Twelve contractors received BPI (Building 

Performance Institute) certification through the course work at DCC 

and the VWC. Funding was provided by VWC and the Dan River 

Regional Collaborative. 

5. DCC’s Phi Theta Kappa honor society has instituted a recycling 

program on campus that has successfully recycled paper, plastic, 

aluminum, electronics and printer cartridges. Students also have a 

textbook recycling program to recycle used textbooks through the 

“Better World Books Project”. Students routinely car pool for out of 

town trips as well as local commutes to campus. 

6. The DCC Automotive and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration 

Departments recover and recycle refrigerants from home and auto 

air conditioners, using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

approved techniques and equipment. Also, materials such as paint, 

motor, transmission 

and gear oils, paint 

thinner, antifreeze, 

etc. are collected and 

recycled through an 

approved commercial 

materials recycler. In 

addition, chemicals 

from DCC’s chemical 

laboratories are 

controlled and 

regulated by policies 

of the DCC Chemical 

Hygiene Committee. 

7. On campus, DCC is 

constantly seeking 

ways to improve 

energy efficiency of 

its buildings. Annual 

energy savings are 

tracked through 

Jerry Franklin 

improvements, such as 

upgrading of lighting 

for efficiency, automatic occupancy sensors, low-flow water fixtures 

and weatherization of buildings. 

In the community, Franklin said DCC also developed and led a 

community initiative in a novel and innovative approach to reduce 

auto pollution, save gasoline, and improve fitness among community 

citizens. The program, known as “E Bike Danville®”, is a collaboration led 

by DCC’s Workforce Services Office with the Danville Science Center, 

City of Danville, Virginia Tech Extension, LifeBatt Battery Company, Spin 

Bike Shop, Gerhardt Engineering. The Dan River Regional Foundation 

providing funding. 

E Bike Danville® studies and promotes the use of electric bicycles 

as a practical substitute for automobiles. The first phase studied 

the practicality of using e-bikes for local commuting such as work, 

shopping, errands or visiting friends. During the summer of 2012, DCC 

loaned e-bikes to 24 volunteer evaluators for two-week periods to use 

in place of their cars. Evaluators were asked to keep a journal of all 

round-trip rides and report their findings. 

The E-Bike Danville® study, which was recently released, indicated 

that e bikes are a practical means of transportation for short (less than 

20 miles) trips. An e bike is 18 times less polluting than an automobile, 

and riders save money on gasoline, insurance, maintenance and 

registration of a car. In addition, health and fitness is improved, since e 

bikes assist the rider, when needed, on hills and windy conditions. 

The E Bike Danville® program has gained statewide, national and 

international attention for its innovative approach to using e bikes as 

regular transportation. In addition, DCC is developing a certificate 

program in collaboration with the Light Electric Vehicle Association, 

(LEVA), which will be presented nationally to e bike dealers and 

manufactures to train technicians to repair e bikes and other motorized 

vehicles. The training program should be ready to begin summer 2013.

sustainability habits, please contact Jerry Franklin, at 434.797.8573;
