An ExtraordinaryCALL of the Timberwolf - June 2019

COMMENCEMENT

For the first time in the college’s history, 19 high school seniors who participated in ›
our Early College program graduated with Associate degrees they earned simultane-
ously with their high school diplomas. Six students in our LifePATH® program were
the first to receive Life Skills Certifications.

Twenty students are the first to earn degrees in our
Advanced Nursing Pathway program, a partnership
we have with Klein High School. And one gradu-
ate, with autism, made history when he accepted a
well-deserved diploma he worked on for nine years!

Also for the first time we conferred degrees to a
student and her mother. Kim Wilson, the President of
our Student Association and the student Commence-
ment keynote speaker, was followed across the stage
by her mother, Stephanie Wilson, who was finishing
her long-delayed degree.

And if those aren’t enough firsts,
this was the first year in our
history we had to postpone the
Commencement ceremony due
to a severe weather threat that
included flash flooding!

› There’s nothing like an international challenge
to bring out the best in people. That’s especially
true for Lone Star College-Tomball students par-
ticipating as delegates in this year’s National
Model United Nations Conference competition
where our team was recognized with the covet-
ed Distinguished Delegation Award that placed
the team among the top 25% of competing
colleges and universities from around the world.

pated in the conference, it was the first time the

PATHWAY WITH

PURPOSE

›LSC-Tomball Family Summit Connects With First-Gen Students

Those of us in higher education know it’s never too early to
start thinking about attending college. And it’s especially true
for students who may be the first in their families to even con-
sider college. There is a lot to think about and a lot to know
and without some guidance it’s easy to just bypass college and
move on. That’s why our folks in CLASS put together the first
Pathway With Purpose Family Summit, a one of a kind infor-
mation session that offered middle school and high school stu-
dents and their parents a step by step, how-to guide to college.

The presentations were divided into different tracks
for middle, high school and current college stu-
dents and addressed three specific areas. The first,
Getting Prepared, explained the important early
steps students and families need to take during
high school, leading up to graduation. The second
presentation, Paying for College, advised on ways
to save for college and how to apply for financial
aid. The third topic, Navigating College, provided
information on the support and assistance that’s

available on matters like counseling, tutoring, college ac-

tivities and organizations. Representatives from LSC-Tom-

ball’s various departments and organizations wer on hand

during and after the presentations to answer questions, ad-

dress concerns and provide details tailored to a student’s

specific needs. Additionally, we provided information

about “transfer friendly institutions,” which are colleges we

have agreements with that make it easier for students to

transfer to four year institutions.

LSC-Tomball
Educating the Next

Generation of
Healthcare

Professionals

Science and healthcare classes will never be the ›
same at Lone Star College-Tomball. The college,
which continues to be at the forefront of educating
a new generation of healthcare workers, has revolu-
tionized the way our students learn anatomy. Now,
when students enter the science lab, they experience,
and interact with, a full size 3-D digital carbon copy
of a complete human body.
Students can see what they would never see in a
textbook. They can rotate the image, zoom in on or-
gans, muscle groups and bones and get a real sense
of the actual size and how all the parts connect with
each other.

The Anatomage Table is a leading-edge table-top
virtual dissection system. It is the most technologically
advanced anatomy visualization system developed
for use in the classroom, featuring an intuitive hands-
on interface that allows students and educators to
quickly explore and examine all aspects of the human
body. It incorporates multiple, high definition touch-
screen monitors that serve to simulate an operating
room table. Instead of a scalpel, fingers touching the
screens can manipulate the images just like using a
cell phone or tablet.

[Continued on next page]

› The table is a powerful teaching
tool and an unparalleled learning
aid for students. It allows for ex-

2ploration of the human anatomy.

The Anatomage Table will also
become part of the Veterinary Tech-
nology Department’s educational
program.

The image library has scans of hundreds
of various species and segmented ca-
davers giving students the capability of
comparing the different anatomies for
education and research.
Lone Star College-Tomball is well-known
for providing a quality education to
prepare competent, caring, and ethical
students for the healthcare professions.

and one for all” caring culture is an embedded and family members, both literal and metaphorical,
driving force at LSC-Tomball. In an excerpt from that helped us along the way.”
