This document outlines HCC's plans for a $425 million bond referendum to fund facility improvements and expansions. It notes that HCC is at 92% capacity while serving 40% more students over 5 years. The funds would go towards new buildings and upgrades focused on high-demand areas like healthcare. Specific projects are outlined for each HCC college campus to address capacity issues and meet workforce needs through new or expanded facilities for programs like nursing, manufacturing, and small business training. The goal is to ensure HCC can continue to provide affordable access to education and workforce development.

Rockford, Illinois is a global center of excellence in advanced manufacturing, particularly in aerospace. This critical sector of the economy is threatened by a looming shortage of engineering talent. In collaboration with industry partners and the local community college, Northern Illinois University (NIU) created a community-based, industry-integrated workforce developent solution to address the demand for engineers. Rockford area students can now earn bachelor’s degrees in mechanical engineering and applied manufacturing technology without traveling to NIU’s main campus in DeKalb. Third and fourth year NIU courses are taught by NIU professors on the Rock Valley [Community] College (RVC) campus. Students have paid internships with area companies and are mentored by local NIU and RVC alumni.
In recognition of the importance of this initiative, local industry partners launched the “Engineering our Future” fundraising campaign and raised $6 million in 9 months to support the program. The president of the lead donor company, Woodward, continues to host weekly Monday morning meetings with the higher education, industry and community leadership team to ensure the successful operation and growth of the program.
The goal of the program is to facilitate a seamless transition from high school to RVC to NIU to career, developing and retaining local talent. Since its launch in Fall 2016, more than 30 students are in the third and fourth year NIU courses at RVC and the pipeline of students in pre-engineering courses at RVC has tripled, ensuring a healthy pipeline of students for growth of the program.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
4. Trends and Today’s Realities
• 80% of all new jobs require at least
2 years of postsecondary education
and training to create a living wage
• Economics and increases in 4-year
tuition/fees have made a college education
unaffordable for many
• HCC remains accessible to all
with affordable tuition
• HCC is #1 developer in Houston
of workforce-ready candidates

5. Postsecondary Education is
the Key to Our Future
“The most important
institution of higher
education in Houston is
HCC. I have a deep admiration
for the community college
because the college is
important to connecting
people to jobs in the 21st
century.”
Dr. Stephen Klineberg
Co-Director, Kinder Institute for
Urban Research at Rice University

• HCC lowered taxes in 2007, 2008, and 2009
• Increased efficiencies and effective use of tax dollars
• Saved over $79M in utility costs during
the past 5 years (Report from Reliant Energy, July 2012)
• Increased non-tax revenues to off-set taxation
through a variety of innovative, entrepreneurial efforts

9. Our Current Long-Range Outlook
• State funding has decreased by $64 million over the last
biennium, and further decreases are expected
• HCC’s 53 square feet per student in a classroom is only
66% of the national average of 80 square feet per
student*
• Unable to meet students’ needed scheduling demands
• Need to upgrade classrooms and labs with latest
technology to create the learning space of the future
• Need to ensure campuses are as conducive to student
learning as possible
* Recommended by the Texas Higher Education Standards Board 9
10. Facilities 2012 Bond Program
• HCC Board of Trustees voted in August to
put a $425 million bond referendum on
the ballot in November
• The funds will be allocated for new facilities,
improvements and acquisitions needed to
prepare the workforce of the future
• This will ensure that HCC can meet student
needs especially in high-demand areas such
as health sciences, as well as science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM) education.
