Instructors at Hinds CC Are One of a Kind

At many colleges, finding an instructor who knows your name is hard to come by. Students are usually packed into an auditorium with hundreds of others where attendance may be taken, but overall the students are just another number. Finding help with projects or tips for exams can be difficult, and even getting a professor to email back in a timely manner can seem exasperating. At major universities, this is a well known problem and because of the classroom sizes, it doesn't seem be going away any time soon. 

 At Hinds Community College, that is definitely not the case. During my time working here I’ve had the chance to have a one-on-one conversation with multiple instructors from all different types of programs and campuses. During my time speaking with them, it was clear that they love teaching here at Hinds and they care about the students. Don't take my word for it, let's listen to theirs! 

Hinds CC track & field star Robert Wells continues to find success

Community college athletic programs may not be as extravagant as 4-year universities, but they do have a lot of advantages. Because of scholarships, community college athletes have access to higher education at little or no cost and—if successful—they get the opportunity to continue their education and athletic career at a university. This is true for former Hinds Community College track and field star Robert Wells.

Stay Focused on That Goal

As the end of this semester here at Hinds Community College wraps up, I am thinking about the many things I need to do as I am looking forward to my last semester here as a part-time student. As I have said in one of my past bogs,   http://hub.hindscc.edu/blog/bid/360775/My-Latest-and-Possibly-Greatest-Challenge I am one of those adult students who has gone back to school after many years of working. It has taken me a couple of years, but if all goes well, after the dreaded college algebra class (that I am taking in the spring,) I should be able to walk across that stage in May with my Associate's degree! So of course I am thinking about what lies ahead, and what I need to do to stay focused on my goal. Maybe these tips will help others who are transitioning to a four-year college as an adult…or at least maybe they will help me stay focused!
