In 2020, Intel and the Maricopa Community College District issued a joint press releases announcing their partnership to launch the first associate degree program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Carlos Contreras with Intel notes a sense of urgency around this technology because of the speed at which it is being adopted by a wide variety of industry sectors. Partnerships between educational institutions and industry provide a collaborative model that is custom-built to address the speed of the transition in the region. Working together, the colleges and Intel hope to bring the U.S. workforce up to the AI skill level of countries such as South Korea, India, Singapore. In this episode, Bassam Matar from Chandler Gilbert Community College describes the design and roll-out of their AAS degree and certificate program, both of which have no prerequisites for entry and are designed to expand digital readiness for the future of work. Ultimately, says Contreras, as a company, Intel's goal "by 2030 is to reach 30 countries, 30,000 institutions and get 30 million students skilled in artificial intelligence."

Phoenix — Governor Doug Ducey and the Arizona Department of Health Services (A-D-H-S) today announced a state-operated COVID-19 vaccination site in the Phoenix metropolitan area's East Valley, avoiding the closure of a successful mass vaccination site and further expanding the state's nationally recognized model for speeding up vaccine administration. The vaccination site at Chandler-Gilbert Community College will begin operating as a state-run location on Wednesday, March 3. “We're committed to making the COVID-19 vaccine accessible to all Arizona residents.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left many bats on shoulders around this province, as athletes, coaches and everyone else involved the game are relegated to their garages and basements, waiting to maybe get to train again in familiar facilities. Add in this blast from Old Man Winter and those quarters have been tight lately. So it was welcome news to see some training resume on Monday and many were chomping at the bit to get going. Among them was Tyler Hollick. The Okotoks Dawgs and Dawgs Academy general manager has had to oversee a very quiet Seaman Stadium area over the last several months, but hopefully that can come to an end this spring. So last week, we connected with Hollick for an in-depth chat about growing up in the Dawgs system, moving onto Chandler-Gilbert Community College and then the San Francisco Giants organization before ultimately returning home.

Brad Kendrex, executive vice president for administration and operations at Chandler-Gilbert Community College and interim vice president for administrative services at Mesa Community College joins NACUBO senior director, government affairs Megan Schneider to discuss the impact of COVID-19 legislative support on community colleges. The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) of the CARES Act has offered unique challenges and implications for community colleges thanks to prioritization of full-time enrollment in determining funds received, and other factors. This isn’t a surprise, according to Kendrex, but the implications are significant.

Go For It! Sleep When You're Dead - Colleen Miniuk-Sperry Today’s featured guest is Colleen Miniuk-Sperry Colleen is an outdoor photographer based in Chandler Arizona. She has authored 3 books, instructs for many workshops, and she is a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA). From corporate America to becoming a full time freelance photographer I am excited to have you on the show today! Note from Rob: Now Photo World it has been months since I have had an episode go much further than my usual 30 minutes of amazing content but today is nearly twice that. After getting to know Colleen a bit I knew that she had a lot to share with you as you grow on your own journey's. Also I can't even remember the last time I wet over all of my questions for an interview. I am glad to say that today's episode is saturated with value and as a thank you for all this wonderful free content I ask that you share this interview with your facebook and twitter networks to let more people know they are welcome to join Photo World and the Take & Talk Pics Podcast. Hi! My name is Colleen Miniuk-Sperry (pronounced "Min-ick-Spare-ee"). I'm a Corporate-America-escapee-turned-full-time-freelance-outdoor-photographer-and-writer, supporting a wide range of assignments for editorial and commercial clients. Specializing in outdoor recreation, nature, conservation, and travel, my work has been published in National Geographic calendars, Arizona Highways magazine, books, and calendars, Outdoor Photographer, AAA Highroads, AAA VIA, Extraordinary Vision, National Parks Traveler, Smith-Southwestern calendars, and a broad variety of other publications. In November 2011, I co-authored and published the award-winning book, Wild in Arizona: Photographing Arizona’s Wildflowers, A Guide to When, Where, and How with my good friend and fellow photographer, Paul Gill. After selling out the 1st edition, we published the 2nd edition of this title in March 2015. In addition, I've been selected three times as an Artist-in-Residence with Acadia National Park in Maine (November 2010, October 2011, and January 2013) which enabled me to author and publish mysecond award-winning guidebook, Photographing Acadia National Park: The Essential Guide to When, Where, and How in February 2014. In July 2015, I published my first instructional photography eBook titled, Seeing the Light in Outdoor Photography. I'm just as excited to help others learn photography as I am making my own images, so I've proudly led photography workshops for the Arizona Highways Photography Workshops (AHPW), Moab Photography Symposium, The Nature Conservancy, Arizona Wildlife Federation's "Becoming an Outdoor Woman," Through Each Others Eyes, and numerous private clients. As an active Associate of Through Each Other Eyes (TEOE), I have proudly participated in cultural photographic exchanges and international exhibitions with Japan, Mexico, and Canada. Being a member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) has allowed me the opportunity for unrivaled personal growth and new friendships with like-minded and extremely talented outdoor communicators. I've served as a Board Member since September 2013 and have won numerous Excellence in Craft awards for my photography, book, and blog, as well as the prestigious 2010 President’s Choice Award, the 2013 People’s Choice Award, and the 2014 and 2015 Outstanding Board Member Award. Growing up in Ohio, Arkansas, and Illinois, becoming a photographer or writer never crossed my mind. In 1997, armed with a Bachelor of Business Administration-Computer Information Systems degree from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona to begin a 10-year project management career at Intel Corporation. Initially as an outlet to corporate life, I began making photographs of the intriguing landscapes in the West in late 2001 during my "Introduction to Photography" class at the Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Two years later, I started selling my photographs at art shows across Arizona. Then, in February 2007, I left the grey cubicle walls of Corporate America to pursue a full-time career in photography and writing. Now, I can't imagine life without wandering with a camera or a notebook in hand! Though I spend a significant amount of time on the road across the United States, I currently reside in Chandler, Arizona with my husband, Craig and cat, Nolan.  Recommended Resource: DOF Master.com Photographer’s Ephemeris W: cms-photo.com Blog: youcansleepwhenyouredead.com Workshops: cms-photo.com/Workshops Be sure to Subscribe to our newsletter! 2015 © Take&TalkPics

I am assuming that this new feed will work now, so we can hope. Here's the transcript file below as well.This is Devon Adams and today is July 24th 2009. Welcome to the first AP Language & Composition podcast. The purpose of these podcasts is to relay information about the AP Language class at Basha High School. My goal is to get these out weekly or biweekly depending on the materials being covered in class. Welcome juniors to AP English. This year prepares you for the AP Language & Composition exam administered by the College Board in May 2010. Today’s topic is the AP Examination and Dual Enrollment. This time of the year I get a lot of questions about the difference between taking the AP Examination and taking this class for dual enrollment, so I am focusing this entire podcast on this one question. First of all, let’s talk about each separately. Many of you took a test called the Asset Test in the spring time in our cafeteria. You should have received a copy of those scores already, but if not I have them in my class. This is NOT the AP Exam; that is completely separate. This is a placement test used for the Maricopa Community College District colleges (including Mesa Community College and Chandler Gilbert Community College) to confirm that you have met certain academic requirements to be accepted into a college English program. Once you have scored high enough on this test, you are invited by me to take AP English 11 for dual enrollment credit. This means you’d pay the MCC tuition for 3 credits, which I believe is approximately $230.00. This payment would enroll you in English 101 at MCC, and you would take AP English 11 for both college credit and high school credit. You do the same exact work as all of your classmates and you do not have to go to MCC at all. At the end of the Fall 2009 semester, you would be awarded 3 college credits at MCC with the same grade you receive in semester 1 of AP English 11. MCC’s credits transfer directly to BYU, ASU, U of A, and also NAU. NAU is the only school that also requires you to complete the second semester of freshman college English (called English 102), and you can take that online or through my MCC course anytime before you graduate from Basha. If you are considering an out of state school, it is your responsibility to check with the admission office to see if they would accept your Freshman Composition (Eng 101) credit through dual enrollment. If you choose to dual enroll, you will sign up through me in August. The dual enrollment option has absolutely nothing to do with the AP Examination in May 2010. The AP Examination is the culminating assessment for AP Language & Composition. This is an internationally recognized test that is accepted (for varying scores) at universities through the entire world. Payment for the examination is approximately $86.00 and nothing is paid until second semester. Information on testing is given to you to take home to your parents. It is expected that most of you do take this test. The AP Examination is what we will prepare for all year in AP Language. Unlike dual enrollment, there is no guarantee to pass this examination but the AP Exam is recognized in more schools. Some people ask why should we dual enroll when we’re testing at the end anyway. This is a good question and there’s no easy answer. Dual Enrollment tuition is much cheaper than university credits would cost, but if you’re going out of state your school may not accept these credits. But three credits in dual enrollment is guaranteed (as long as you pass the class) while passing the AP Examination is not a guarantee. I have seen students go to schools like ASU after doing dual enrollment and taking AP Exams and walking in there as sophomores. It all depends on so many variables. I would personally recommend taking dual enrollment since you’re sitting in the class anyway and doing the same work as everyone else. If you are financial unsound and need assistance is paying for the course, MCC does have a scholarship program. Basha also has a scholarship program for the AP Exam fees in the spring time. Ok, I hope this initial podcast has answered all of your questions about AP exams versus dual enrollment. Up next time will be a discussion of the summer readings, which I am sure you have all completed.
