Meet Rio’s NewInterim President!Q: WHAT IS RIO’S VISION FOR STUDENT SUCCESS?Rio Salado believes every student deserves access to an aff ordable, high-quality college education. The Rio diff erence is how we trans-form the student learning experience. We know today’s students are busy! To help meet their needs, we off er certifi cate and degree programs both online and in-person because we ultimately want our students to be successful.

Q: WHAT DO PEOPLE FIND MOST SURPRISING ABOUT RIO SALADO COLLEGE?I think people are amazed when they fi nd out how many students we have! Last year, Rio served more than 64,000 credit and non-credit students, including 7,000 high school students earning college credits through dual enrollment.

Q: WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE POINTS OF PRIDE FOR RIO SALADO? I’m proud of our entire team of Rio Salado employees who are dedicated to student success. Rio has 1,200 adjunct and 25 residential faculty members who are exceptional. Likewise, our team of academic advisors is highly-trained and always ready to provide support. Our helpdesks operate on a 24/7 basis to provide our students with round-the-clock support.

Q: WHAT DYNAMIC INITIATIVES DOES RIO SALADO HAVE IN STORE FOR 2010?Rio Salado is reaching out to a new generation of students through innovative models of higher education that meet their specialized needs, such as the Communiversity @ Surprise. In addition to a second Communiversity in the Town of Queen Creek (see page 18), we are partnering to build the nation’s fi rst green learning campus; a Veterans Outreach Center in the East Valley; and several other regional centers that will provide a continuum of educational pathways and services to specialized student populations. Programs and partnerships like these ensure that we will continue to prepare our students for 21st century careers.

Today more than ever, job seekers have to make more than one first impression: the first is with a solid resume and the second is through a face-to-face interview. To help students learn how to make a positive first impression, Rio Salado College faculty members offer the following interviewing advice for anyone who is looking for a job. “Your appearance is the first impression you will make on an employer when you arrive at an interview,” said Brooke Toney, an instructor in Rio Salado College’s Sustainable Food Systems program.

“I expect potential employees to dress professionally and have exceptional hygiene,” Toney said. “I work with food safety. Personal hygiene is one of the main contributors of a food-borne illness.” Jennifer Freed, Faculty Chair for Instructional Design, agrees with Toney and added that men should wear a tie and jacket.

“I know it gets hot in the Valley during the summer, but dressing professionally shows interviewers you are serious about the position,” Freed said. “If you don’t put in the effort to dress professionally for an interview, an employer may question your work ethic.”

Besides appearance, the Rio Salado teachers said a person’s demeanor during the interview is important, too. “Avoid saying anything negative about a previous employer,” Toney said. “Appearing angry, wounded, or sad about being laid off makes you appear unstable. Instead, focus on the positive and address how you will be an asset.” If you are unemployed but engage in volunteer work, share this in the interview. “Being active in your community says a lot about you as a person and a prospective employee,” Toney said. Freed added that job seekers should not be one-dimensional.

“You have to address how you are qualified for the job, but it doesn’t mean you have to be a robot,” Freed said. “You have to sell yourself, and show the interviewer that you have a personality. Just make sure it is done in good taste.”

And make sure it is true.

“The truth always comes out, and if you lie on your resume or in an interview, it is grounds for dismissal,” said Freed.

ADVICEfor Job Seekers

To help you meet your educational expenses, Rio Salado College (in partnership with the Maricopa Community Colleges) off ers a convenient online payment option. The eCashier program is called NBS/FACTS, and lets students select installment plans that are spread over several months, depending on the length of the semester.

Payments may be made from a student’s checking or savings account or by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover credit cards. In addition, students can also pay their expenses online as soon they are registered.

This is not a loan program. You have no debt, no interest or fi nance charges are assessed, and there is no credit check. The cost to budget your interest-free monthly payment plan is a $20 per semester non-refundable NBS/FACTS enrollment fee.

PAYMENT PLANS Help with Student ExpensesAutomatic Bank PaymentsAutomatic bank payments are a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your Maricopa Community College expenses. Payments are made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.

Credit Card OptionYou can also set up a monthly tuition payment using your credit card. This enables you to take advantage of various bonus programs off ered by your credit card company. Payments will be charged on the 5th of each month until the balance is paid in full.

For more information about the NBS/FACTS eCashier program visit www.riosalado.edu/ecashier.

COMPARISON


1. Have a purpose and a plan. If you are writing a business letter, a short story, or a comedy skit, your purpose and plan will vary. Know your purpose before you start and then create a plan to guide your writing.

2. Know your audience. If you are writing a legal brief for court, your words will be dramatically different than if you are writing a children’s story. Direct your writing at the people who will read it.

3. Write naturally. Use words that feel right to you. Using complicated words or slang, or misusing words can and confuse the reader.

4. Use nouns and verbs! Solid nouns and active verbs build the best sentences. Overusing adjectives and adverbs is a common mistake by beginning writers.

5. Do not overwrite. With word processors and instant online blogs, it is too easy to write and keep writing. Avoid the trap of saying too much. It can turn off your readers.

6. Be clear. Reread your work aloud. Does it make sense? Do you or others stumble over your words or question your ideas?

7. Revise and rewrite. Always try to leave your writing and come back to it with fresh eyes. Good writers spend more time revising and rewriting than creating an original draft.

8. Check your spelling and grammar. With the heavy use of text messaging today, it is easy to forget how to spell. Use spell-check and carefully proofread your work for grammar and punctuation.

9. Write what you love. If you write about your interests and passions, you will produce material that shines with enthusiasm—and this captures readers.

10. Read good writing. By reading works by strong writers (Harper Lee, John Steinbeck, etc.), you will learn more about good writing—and that is your goal, right?

10 Tipsto ImproveYOUR WRITING

by Sandra Marinella, English Instructional Coordinator

SPRING 2010


We polled our staff of academic advisors, and here are the top 5 questions students ask.

By David Hall, Coordinator, Advisement Services

1. What can an academic advisor do for me? An academic advisor will help you select the right course(s) and certificate or degree program to reach your goals. The advisor will also evaluate your transfer credits and explore transfer opportunities. Advisors are here to help you be successful and are knowledgeable of all of the supportive services Rio Salado College has to offer. 2. What type of programs does Rio Salado offer?Rio Salado College offers certificates and degrees that lead to specific occupations and degrees that are designed to transfer to a university. Your advisor can discuss your goals with you and help you decide your best options. If you are not sure about your career goals, you can get assistance through Rio Salado’s Counseling Services department.

3. What courses do I still need to complete my degree?Your advisor will put together a course checksheet in our Electronic Student File system. You will be able to access this checksheet online. You and your advisor will be able to track your progress and create a plan for certificate or

degree completion. To start this checksheet, your advisor will want to see all your prior college credit courses (no matter how long ago courses were taken), credit by evaluation, and college level equivalency examinations. 4. Do your courses transfer?Rio Salado College has partnerships with the three state universities and many others as well. With all of our partnerships, “block” transfers may be available depending on the associate degree and future major. We also have course by course agreements with the state universities. Your advisor can tell you if and how a course will transfer. 5. Do I have to take the placement tests before I sign up for classes? If you are going to be taking an English, Math, or Reading course, then you will need to take the placement tests. If you are seeking a degree, it is highly recommended that you take the placement tests first, regardless of the courses you would like to start with. Your placement test scores will help your advisor make course recommendations.

Get ready to get your hands dirty! A new hybrid program at Rio Salado College lets students study online and prac-tice what they’ve learned – by growing it!

Rio’s new Sustainable Food Systems program is changing the way students learn. Through hybrid classes, students get the best of both worlds – the convenience and flex-ibility of online classes and the practicality of hands-on learning. “This is a new hybrid class,” said instructor Peter Conden, who teaches Gardening Practices and Techniques. “The students learn the theory online, and then they work in the 4,400 square-foot community garden to fulfill the lab section of the class.”

The community garden is located at Rio’s headquarters, 2323 W. 14th St., in Tempe.

Recently, the first lab section was held at the garden, and students and instructors gathered to ready the garden.

“Today we prepared the garden for plants and I got to put some of the theories that I studied into practice,” said student Cody Boers. “It was a surprisingly fun class.”

Conden said the theories the students practice in the garden will change throughout the year as the weather changes.

“The Southwest is very different from other parts of the country,” said Conden. “Students study how the climate influences what is grown in a garden, and then they have to develop a plan for that time of the year.”

The climate wasn’t the only thing affecting the garden. The class also secured the area to keep out local wildlife.

As the garden takes shape, it also will impact what is served in the new Café @ Rio.

Items grown in the garden will be used in Rio’s culinary classes, which are part of the Sustainable Food Systems program. These classes will be preparing the meals served in the café.

“The entire program is one big cohesive laboratory,” said Conden. “Students in the café and garden will work together toward a goal of zero waste.”

DIG IN!Hybrid Program Offers Hands-on Learning


Getting the answers to these questions no longer requires visiting a library or fi nding a Wi-Fi hotspot. Thanks to a new pilot program, Rio Salado students can have their ques-tions answered fast—via text messaging!

Through the ASK! Txt 4 Answers program, a student submits a question by text and a participating reference librarian answers it within 10 minutes.

Rio Salado College and Paradise Valley Community College are the two Maricopa Community Colleges participating in the program.

“College students need quick answers,” said Karen Docherty, virtual reference coordinator at Rio Salado College. “Now, they have a new resource at their fi ngertips.”

More than 50 libraries across the country are taking part in the project, with librarians devoting two hours a week to

• Who was the tenth president of the United States?• What is the average circumference of a human head?

answering the thousands of text questions submitted by students.

With the number of text messages steadily increasing (790 a month for users aged 18-24), the idea for the program came about out of necessity, and as a sign of changing times.

“Today, people are sending more text messages than they are making cell phone calls,” said Docherty. “This program is another way of helping people get the answers they need, wherever they are, with professional assistance.”

The ASK! Txt 4 Answers service is available for students Monday through Friday, 6 a.m.-8 p.m., and Saturday from 7 a.m.-3 p.m.

To submit a question, text it to (309) 222-7740 with Rio Salado College’s library code, RSC.

SECOND LIFEChanges Classroom Interactions

On a recent Saturday at 10 p.m., Murray Inman met friends in Berlin while his wife visited a jazz club in San Francisco. Two hours later, the Inmans met at a cafe in Taiwan to do some people watching. Impossible? Not if you’re in Second Life.

Second Life, a social networking site boasting 16 mil-lion users, is a virtual world where people don avatars to interact with others.

“Second Life is much diff erent than other social networking sites,” said Inman, a Systems Application Analyst and adjunct instructor at Rio Salado College. “Instead of one or two-line status updates, you get to know people through activities and shared experi-ences.”

In Second Life, you can socialize, participate in indi-vidual and group activities, create and trade goods and services with one another, or travel throughout the world.

For people new to Second Life, Inman has developed a “Current Topics in Computing” course at Rio Salado that teaches students how to explore the virtual world.

Adjunct instructor Murray Inman shows the avatar he

uses in his Current Topics in Computing (CIS280) class.

In the class, students maneuver through an obstacle course, which teaches basic movements and camera control. They also learn how to fl y, dance, swim, and use pose balls, which allow avatars to sit.

The class progresses to where students eventually learn how to build interactable scripted items. Toward the end of the class, the students are asked to question what it means to be an avatar.

“I have students change their avatar to something that doesn’t represent them,” said Inman. “For some people, it may be changing their ethnicity, weight, or even becoming something non-human.”

“Then I have the students interact with people to see what reactions they get back,” said Inman. “It really helps them question what their attitudes are toward other people. It’s fascinating in a philosophical way, too.”

Inman said that there are several classes in develop-ment at Rio Salado that will be taught in Second Life.


SECOND LIFE Enhances Classroom Experience


instant feedback is like having a private language tutor.

“The online language-lab experience lets students practice in a non-threatening environment,” Félix said. “And they’re able to practice and master their speaking assignments before submitting them for grading.”

According to Félix, Rio Salado has used the CD-based version of the software for years, but recently embraced its new online platform.

“Students only need Internet access, and no additional equipment is required because they use the microphones that are built-into their computers,” Félix said.

Other benefits include the low cost, ease of use, and the adaptable online format means course content is always current.

Language classes at Rio Salado that use the Tell Me More technology include Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Arabic and Chinese.

To learn more visit www.riosalado.edu/languages.

Think you can’t learn a language online? Think again! Rio Salado College uses a unique interactive voice recognition software program to assist students learning foreign languages. The software program, Tell Me More, has an interactive feature that provides feedback on pronunciation, making it easier for online students to learn.

“It’s a virtual language-lab experience,” said Dr. Angela Félix, Faculty Chair for Languages at Rio Salado College.

How it worksHomework assignments in beginning language classes call for students to practice basic pronunciation, vocabulary, and sentence structure.

“Students speak into their computer microphones, and Tell Me More assesses if what they said is comprehen-sible,” Félix said. “The program lets them know if their pronunciation was correct or not. If not, it highlights what letters were spoken incorrectly.”

Students receive a graph representation of their pro-nunciations compared to the model pronunciations. The

“We have had long standing partnerships with these institutions and look forward to working even closer with them to provide clear pathways from our associate degrees to the student’s chosen university majors,” said David Hall, Coordinator, Advisement Services.

Rio Salado transfer students can now meet with advisors from Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University at Rio’s Tempe location.

Advisors from both universities are on hand twice a month to offer in-person advising services.


Appraiser BringsReal-World Skillsto classroomRio Salado College adjunct faculty member Allison Gee not only teaches art, she appraises it as well.

“Art always reflects the period of the artist and society,” Gee said. “It shows quite a bit of who we are and where we have been. It shows laws, values and culture.”

Gee’s knowledge of art reaches beyond the classroom. When she is not teaching art history and humanities classes, she runs Appraisals By Allison, a nationwide fine-art appraisal firm based in the Valley.

Gee specializes in the appraisal of American and Eu-ropean paintings, sculptures and works on paper. Gee has evaluated works by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall and Robert Indiana.

“As a professional appraiser, I have to keep up with the art world,” Gee said. “Adding my appraisal work to the classroom allows me to bring real-world experiences to my classes.”

Being an online instructor, Gee’s students are found all over the world.

“I’ve had students contact me from Paris, Milan, and the Middle East,” Gee said. “It’s one of the things that make teaching online interesting. Students in different parts of the state, country or world have access to different works of art.”

Keeping herself and students up to date with art move-ments has kept the teacher busy. Gee is active in the Phoenix-Metro Chapter of the American Society of Ap-praisers, and was elected an officer of the local chapter, which included a stint as the group’s president.

Outside of Arizona, Gee has conducted research at many of the world’s finest museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Casa Buonarroti in Florence, Italy.

Gee is certified to teach art history at the community college level in the state of Arizona. She often suggests places for students to see original works.

“There have been times when a student has written a paper about an artist, and during the same week or even the same day, I was holding an original piece by that particular artist,” Gee said. “It’s moments like these that I feel like I am bringing more to my classes.”

When Allison Gee is not teaching art history at Rio Salado she appraises fine art at her Valley-based firm, Appraisals by Allison.


SUN SOUNDS: Brightening Arizona’s Airwaves

Years ago, Tempe resident Frank Williams faced the possibility of losing his vision. “I was terrified,” Williams said. “I’m someone who always has stacks of reading material nearby, and losing that truly frightened me.”

Although his vision would return, Williams recalled seeing a newspaper article at the time about a radio reading service for the blind, and it struck a chord. Today, the retired Williams donates countless hours of time to reading on the air and promoting that same service: Sun Sounds of Arizona.

“The inability to use print can cause people to become isolated from family and friends,” said Heidi Capriotti, Marketing Coordinator of Sun Sounds. “We give them an opportunity to stay connected with their communities. It’s a 24-hour window to the world.”

In Arizona, 49,000 listeners tune in daily to hear newspapers, books, magazines and other pertinent information read aloud, allowing them to stay informed of current events.

Five-hundred statewide volunteers read everything from local and national newspapers, including the Arizona Republic, USA Today and Wall Street Journal, entertainment magazines, health newsletters, obituaries, and the latest best-sellers.

What is Sun Sounds?Sun Sounds is a radio reading and information access service for people who can’t use printed material. It is primarily directed toward people who are blind, have age or disease- related vision loss, or have difficulty holding printed material.

“One of our most popular programs is weekly reading of the grocery ads on Wednesdays,” said Capriotti.

The Sun Sounds service is available in many formats: radio, telephone, online, and in some areas, cable TV. Radio programs are broadcast on the sub-carrier of FM stations, meaning the signal can’t be heard on standard radios. Instead, subscribers are loaned a pre-tuned radio receiver at no charge.

Eligible listeners can also hear the broadcast and archived programs on Sun Dial II, a telephone access system that also allows users to surf the web without a computer.

“One advantage of the telephone service is that listeners can pause their listening and return later to where they left off,” Capriotti said.

Sun Dial II recognizes callers by phone number, and also allows them to bookmark favorites - all by voice command. Sun Sounds streams live online at: www.sunsounds.org/listen.

Sun Sounds of Arizona is a part of Rio Salado College’s Division of Public Service, along with NPR affiliates KJZZ 91.5 FM and KBAQ 89.5 FM, and Maricopa Colleges Television.


“Our homeless population — between the poor hygiene and nutrition — really need a good cleaning,” said Annette Chun, CASS Dental Clinic manager. “The partnership with Rio Salado lets the patients that come through here get the professional cleaning that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to get.”

For some homeless individuals, the dental treatment goes beyond a cleaning. Often, it is the difference between getting a job and getting rejected.

“I had one patient who hadn’t seen a dentist in ten years,” said Miller-Lehr. “She‘s recovering from homelessness. Hopefully this opportunity will help get her into the workforce.”

In addition to volunteering at CASS, Rio’s dental hygiene students perform low-cost cleanings for patients at Rio Salado’s School of Dental Hygiene, 1150 E. Washington St., Phoenix.

To learn more visit www.riosalado.edu or call (480) 517-8020.

Every night, Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS) helps hundreds of homeless individuals by offering them a safe place to sleep. While CASS is known for its beds, the shelter offers many additional services to help the underprivileged get their lives back on track.

One of those services is free dental care. CASS’s dental clinic treats approximately 5,000 to 6,000 patients annually, with the help of generous donors and volunteers. Among the volunteers are instructors and students from Rio Salado College’s School of Dental Hygiene, who visit the clinic twice a week.

“I have a soft spot in my heart for the homeless,” said Rio Salado School of Dental Hygiene student Emily Miller-Lehr, of Tempe. “I volunteered for CASS before I was a Rio student so I kind of knew what I was getting into.”

At the clinic, Rio Salado’s students clean teeth and take on the responsibility of teaching patients appropriate oral hygiene techniques and counseling them on good nutrition and its impact on oral health.

Dr. Bustamante oversaw the development and launch of the Communiversity @ Surprise, the first Communiversity to be built west of the Mississippi. Based on that successful experience, he believes the Communiversity @ Queen Creek will also stimulate economic growth and workforce development through increased access to learning opportunities.

“A skilled workforce is critical to attracting quality businesses to any community,” said Dr. Bustamante.

Queen Creek Mayor Art Sanders agrees. “The Communiversity is an important part of Queen Creek’s economic development strategic plan. It will provide our residents and employers with quality, affordable educational resources and programs.”

The Communiversity @ Queen Creek, which is scheduled to open in Fall 2011, will be located in a 15,000 square-foot facility to be constructed on the southwest corner of Ellsworth Road and Victoria Lane.

Rio Salado’s new model for higher education is coming to Queen Creek. Just like its sister site in the City of Surprise, the Communiversity @ Queen Creek will represent a unique educational partnership between private and public entities.

Partners include the Town of Queen Creek and the Maricopa Community College District. Host college Rio Salado has invited Chandler-Gilbert Community College to participate, with additional colleges and universities expected in the future.

The partners will collaborate to provide a continuum of educational pathways ranging from certificates to associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Convenient learning formats will include in-person, online and hybrid classes.

“The Communiversity’s programs will be customized to meet the regional educational needs of Queen Creek and the surrounding area,” said Dr. Chris Bustamante, Interim President of Rio Salado. “In addition, it will serve as a regional support services center for Rio Salado’s online learners.”
