T BCC! EW VISTAS Expanding its services on all fronts, BCC enters an unprecedented growth period. To describe the dynamic changes, Silver Sands invited as guest writer Dr. Clinton Hamilton, Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs. Amidst a rapidly increasing enrollment, Broward Com- munity College is preparing for further dramatic increases. Rather than viewing this situation as frustrating, members of the faculty, staff, and administration see this as a tremen- dously exciting challenge which should be viewed from a whol- ly positive standpoint. On September 15, 1970, the Board of Trustees changed the name from Broward junior to Broward Community Col- lege. This was made possible by legislation passed by the 1970 Florida Legislature that makes junior and community inter- changeable in reference to two-year colleges. Since, among other things, the word community really conveys the compre- hensive nature of the College's mission and programs, the Board made the name change, Within a two-year span the College has thus had three names. However, the current name will probably be permanent. The national trend is toward the use of the word community for designations of the two-year comprehensive public college. The Open-Door Colleges, a spe- cial report and recommendations by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, issued in lune, 1970, adopts the designa- tion of community colleges for these institutions. Special short courses, seminars, and in-service courses are offered throughout the year as occasions and needs occur. A full complement of courses in both liberal arts and technical areas is offered by the College. Many different programs have been planned to meet the diverse objectives and goals of the students. Long range plans for the College call for three campuses, several centers in urban, high density population areas, and off-campus offerings as needed. The campuses will be geogra- phically distributed through the District- Broward County. The central campus in Davie will serve the population belt between Oakland Park Boulevard and the Dania-Cut-off Canal, the north campus in Coconut Creek will serve the population north of Oakland Park Boulevard north to the Palm Beach County line, the south campus, the site of which is yet to be selected, will serve the population from the Dania Cut-off Ca- nal south to the Dade County line. However, any student may enroll for courses at any campus or at all the campuses. Regis- tration will be accomplished through a central computer with satellite operations at the various campuses and centers. Em- phasis is being placed on serving people. The central campus is now experiencing a face lifting that should make it a really beautiful one. A few buildings are planned for it in order for it to be complete and adequate to serve approximately 9,000 full-time equivalent students in 1978-79. The north campus will be approximately the same size and the south campus will serve 4,000 for the same date. Currently, facilities are being built on the north campus. A Hollywood Center adjoins the Hollywood Memorial Hospital on johnson Street in Hollywood. This facility was made available by the Hospital Board and was renovated by the College. lt is a very fine facility and can serve several hundred students enrolled in both specialized allied health and general courses. Classes are also being conducted in Pompano Beach and Margate in facilities leased from St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church, Temple Sholom, and the First Baptist Church of Margate. Likewise, classes are being taught at North- east High School, Fire Station on Sunrise Boulevard, and the City Hall Annex in Fort Lauderdale. An additional several hundred students in banking courses are taught in various bank buildings through the county. Almost 1,700 students are served in these locations.
