They just had their graduation a while back, but the Danville Area Community College Board of Trustees is not resting on any laurels. Eight specific new degree certificates were approved during Thursday night’s meeting: four involving music performance or production, three involving hospitality or restaurant management, and one for robotics technology.
Manufacturing Associate Professor Doug Hunter says it’s perfect timing for the updated robotics degree.
AUDIO: I think it’s important for the community and our industrial partners to make sure that what we give to our graduates is up to date technology skills. That’s not going to ever go the other way. It’s important for us as a college to make sure that we are always updating our offerings.
Dean of Business and Technology Terri Cummings says these new offerings are a natural step forward for the DACC faculty.
AUDIO: Everybody has worked really hard in addition to their teaching and things that they’ve done all year, which is awesome. And we just want to continue to provide to the community what we can, to make it relevant.
DACC president Dr. Stephen Nacco agreed.
AUDIO: Eight new certificates and programs, it’s just phenomenal. And it’s a credit to really the faculty, who own a curriculum in a college; who develop these, and are bringing them to the community, that have all student demand and really community need.
Dr. Nacco says pending state approval, these new programs should be available starting next spring. He also mentioned the new barbering certificate, which was approved the previous month.
