SJC in the community Let Kids Kollege make this the Summer for You ! K ids Kollege has been a summer tradition at San Juan College for 26 years – long enough to see students pass through and go onto use their “kollege knowledge” in real life. This is especially true for Carl Brown, whose mother, Alyssa, enrolled him in Kids Kollege when he was about 12 years old. Carl attended a class for youth interested in the medical field where the students were able to tour San Juan Regional Medical Center and do other medical-oriented activities. “Looking back, that one class helped set into motion the course of his life,” Alyssa says today. “Kids Kollege can have a profound impact and significant effect on our young people – I’ve seen it firsthand.” Carl also witnessed his younger sister’s accident and, from then on, he knew he wanted to be a doctor so he could help people. After graduating high school and from New Mexico State University, Carl will graduate from UNM School of Medicine in May. Registration has begun for this year’s Kids Kollege, presented by the Community Learning Center at San Juan College. Parents can register their children for classes now through July 22. Kids Kollege can help make this summer the Summer for You! Explore new activities, expand your interests and experience fun firsthand.

Daniels Fund Grant Helps SJC Mentor Kids at Boys and Girls Club Thanks to a $15,000 Daniels Fund grant for the 2012-<strong>2013</strong> year, San Juan College digital media and design students in Luke Renner’s video and TV production classes are mentoring 35-40 Farmington Boys and Girls Club members. The classes expose them to the media world and skills they need for a career in that field, and they encourage them to pursue higher education. Grant goals are that 90 percent of participants will demonstrate gains in technology skills, reading and writing. The Daniels Fund was founded through the legacy of Bill Daniels, who became a billionaire pioneering the cable television industry. “We’re working on the technology involved with capturing news and giving Boys and Girls Club members exposure to going out with the camera,” said Renner, SJC assistant professor of Digital Media Arts and Design. With the help of Debbie Higgs, who coordinates the project with SJC and the Boys and Girls Club, they came up with several news stories for club members to work on. “We had a couch that lost its stuffing,” Renner said. “We’re doing an investigative report of what happened to the couch. We interviewed people at the club about who the best pool players were. We’re doing a story about the club’s community garden.” Mike Neergaard, who will graduate from SJC this May, is taking the TV Production class. He helped club members work on a Umattr Kids music video, which promotes such things as making good decisions, valuing others, and living free of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. “Maybe I’ve helped some kids learn to make better decisions,” he said. Mason Monk, a Piedra Vista High School senior, is taking the same class as an early admit college student. He enjoyed showing club members how to come up with news story ideas, shoot and anchor the stories, and work with equipment. “It helped me learn even more by teaching the kids,” Monk said. “Being in the media is becoming a big job industry. It helps kids gain knowledge and exposure to the field early in life in case they decide later on to choose a media career.” By Margaret Cheasebro SJC Dental Hygiene Students Put a Bite into New Museum Exhibit new exhibit will be at the E3 Children’s Museum this A summer and it has a little bite to it. The San Juan College Dental Hygiene Program teamed with E3 to create the “Smart Smiles” exhibit that opened in April at the Children’s Museum in Farmington. The SJC dental hygiene students were involved in the design and implementation of the exhibit with the support of the staff from E3 Children’s Museum, Northwest Dental District Society and Tres Rios Dental Hygiene Society. The dental hygiene students are required to complete a community oral health project as part of their Dental Public Health course. The project must benefit the community. “This oral health exhibit provides the opportunity for San Juan College students to take a theoretical concept and put it into practice, allowing for hands-on experience in public health,” said Tammy Sanderson, a dental hygiene instructor 6 san juan college communicator I May/June <strong>2013</strong> I www.sanjuancollege.edu at San Juan College. “The collaboration between San Juan College and the E3 Children’s Museum gives children and parents in our community a chance to become familiar and comfortable with the dental environment as well as receive education on oral health. With foot traffic of more than 25,000 visitors annually, the museum exhibit offers a fun, interactive and educational experience for families.” The display will include a faux dental office that will include a dental chair, x-ray unit, lab coats and more in an effort to make children more comfortable during their regular visits to the dentist. Five different hands-on stations also will be available for children to visit including a healthy eating station to help promote quality oral health in all aspects of life. The E3 Children’s Museum is located at 302 N. Orchard Avenue in Farmington. For more information about the exhibit, call 505-599-1425. Dental Hygiene students show off educational tools at the “Give Kids a Smile Day” at San Juan College.
