Janet and Jonathan<br />
Olivella<br />
Learning together, sharing their expertise<br />
with others<br />
Janet Olivella and her son Jonathan were at different crossroads in<br />
their lives. Janet was a Registered Medical Assistant but wanted to<br />
learn more and go further in her career. Jonathan had graduated high<br />
school and didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life. After doing<br />
some research Janet found out about <strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s Medical Office<br />
Clinical Technician (MOCT) Program—which involves courses and<br />
training in phlebotomy and electrocardiogram (EKG) administration as<br />
well as a medical terminology component—and convinced her son to<br />
join her.<br />
I felt great pride in being<br />
able to study with my son<br />
and have him see me as<br />
his peer...It also helped<br />
me because I had a study<br />
buddy living with me!<br />
“I felt great pride in being able to study with my son and have him see<br />
me as his peer. … It also helped me because I had a study buddy<br />
living with me,” says Janet.<br />
For Jonathan’s part, he says attending class with his mom was helpful<br />
because she would tutor him in subject matter he didn’t understand.<br />
It also gave him an incentive to try harder. “Having her there made me<br />
want to surpass her, which led to higher grades for me,” he says.<br />
Both are now certified phlebotomists and EKG technicians. Janet is a<br />
Skills Instructor for the MOCT Program. “I want to continue teaching<br />
and sharing my knowledge, as it was once passed down to me,” she<br />
explains.<br />
Discovering what he calls “a great love for the medical field,” Jonathan<br />
has decided to continue his health care training in <strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s<br />
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Program. He hopes to<br />
eventually become a Paramedic with the New York Fire Department,<br />
where he can apply his skills and training to help save people’s lives.<br />
“Being a part of the <strong>LaGuardia</strong> community has given my son and<br />
me the opportunity to meet a diverse group of people from different<br />
countries, ranging from young adults, like my son, to ‘seasoned<br />
adults,’ like myself, all learning under the same umbrella,” notes<br />
Janet. “It was a joyful experience.”

Kim Kendall<br />
Director<br />
Career and Professional Programs (CAPP)<br />
”Our courses provide the skills and certifications adults need<br />
to change lives.”<br />
Kimberly Kendall has only been with <strong>LaGuardia</strong> as Director of the Division of Adult and Continuing Education’s Career and<br />
Professional Programs (CAPP) for six months. During that short time, however, she has added numerous programs and courses<br />
to CAPP’s list of courses including a new Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) Education Program<br />
(see page 29) and the new GRE prep series (see page 44).<br />
“Our courses provide the skills and certifications adults need to change lives,” says Ms. Kendall. “Helping students begin or<br />
change careers is so powerful because you not only help the individual but also help their family, future employer and the local<br />
community.”<br />
After graduating from college, Ms. Kendall got a job teaching English as a Second Language and recalls, “I got hooked on<br />
education.” So, in addition to her full-time work—which included founding the Baltimore branch of The Princeton Review, a<br />
test preparation and college application assistance company, and growing it into a million dollar enterprise—for the past 12<br />
years she’s been teaching GMAT classes part-time, helping hundreds of students get into business school. When she made the<br />
move to New York, she decided to go to business school herself and earned her MBA. She now applies her business savvy and<br />
penchant for education to making CAPP the most comprehensive program for professionals as possible.<br />
Online Courses<br />
“The students in continuing education at <strong>LaGuardia</strong> are incredibly hardworking and generous,” asserts Ms. Kendall. “They<br />
inspire me to reach my goal and to work twice as hard to bring them the best job-training programs possible.”<br />
Online Courses<br />
Our online courses are convenient, informative, highly interactive and fun. All courses are available 24 hours a day and include lessons, quizzes, hands-on<br />
assignments, discussion areas, supplementary links and more. For all courses using application software, you must have the appropriate software installed<br />

Luis Vasquez had an important job: he was a security guard specializing in bomb detection at a big<br />
Wall Street company. However, long hours working the night shift didn’t leave him much time to<br />
spend with his children. So, he decided to serve the city in another way: as a taxi driver.<br />
In April, Mr. Vasquez came to <strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s Taxi and FHV Driver Institute with the goal of passing the<br />
Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) Exam and attaining his hack license. As a non-native English<br />
speaker, the English for Taxi Drivers class, says Mr. Vasquez, helped him establish listening strategies,<br />
while the TLC Taxi Prep Test course allowed him to focus on his weak points. “I believe by taking these<br />
two extra classes the TLC test was easier than what I thought it would be,” he notes, adding that he<br />
accomplished what he set out to do.<br />
Taxi 4-Hour Continuing Education<br />
Workshop<br />

expires, you are required to attend and complete a<br />
four-hour course that includes an update of rule changes,<br />
a review of driver responsibilities and duties, driverpassenger<br />
relations and awareness of serving passengers<br />
with disabilities. (This workshop satisfies<br />
TLC Rule # 2-11a)<br />

Interpreting<br />
Carl Conde is an adjunct professor of biology<br />
at <strong>LaGuardia</strong>. But in the fall of 2009, he took a big<br />
step towards another professional goal: he completed<br />
“Healthcare Interpreting for Spanish/English<br />
(Introduction Course)”and passed the national exam,<br />
making him a certified healthcare interpreter. Now,<br />
with credential in hand and experience from an<br />
internship at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, Mr. Conde<br />
is looking to find work in his new field. “I intend to<br />
use the knowledge I acquired to better humanity, one<br />
interpretation at a time,” he noted.<br />
For the nurse who requires a refresher, the new graduate<br />
who requires increased competence, and the nursing<br />
student who requires practice. Sharpen your physical<br />
assessment skills and increase your competency in<br />
performing auscultation, percussion, palpation, and<br />
inspection in this one-day workshop. Collect assessment<br />
data through evaluation of each body system, build<br />
reasoning through data analysis, and conduct a complete<br />
physical assessment. Gain hands-on experience in our<br />
upgraded nursing labs. For NYSNA CEU’s, please call<br />

Get your GED at <strong>LaGuardia</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
and Discover a World of Opportunities!<br />
Kenny Fisher Mack dropped out of high school in the 9th grade<br />
but found his way back to school via the Adult Learning Center’s GED<br />
program. With GED certificate in hand and help from <strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s <strong>College</strong><br />
Transition Initiative, he’s now a business administration major. “<strong>College</strong><br />
is a place I never saw myself … Now I’m here, and it’s exciting,” he says.<br />
Kenny plans to revolutionize the way managers interact with and keep<br />
track of their employees, increasing effectiveness as well as fostering<br />
mentorship.<br />
They did, and so can YOU!<br />
Kenny Fisher Mack and Linh Le<br />
Winners of the Peter Jennings Scholarship Laurel Award<br />
The Peter Jennings Scholarship Laurel Award is given annually to up to 10 students who have earned their GED certificate from a <strong>CUNY</strong> Adult<br />
Literacy/GED program and who plan to continue their education at a <strong>CUNY</strong> college. Students must be nominated by a teacher or staff member and<br />
must provide a personal essay describing their journey to college. Winners each receive a $1,500 scholarship towards their <strong>CUNY</strong> college education.<br />
Fannie Sanchez - With Honors<br />
Linh Le fled her native Vietnam in 1978 because of political oppression<br />
and poverty. Escaping on a boat with 3,000 other refugees, it would be<br />
several months before she would step foot on solid ground again.<br />
Eventually making her way to New York, she started a family while<br />
working hard to support her family back in Vietnam. Later on, she even<br />
opened her own business, a nail salon. But once her son went off to<br />
college, she decided it was her turn to do the same. After taking ESL<br />
classes and earning her GED certificate with the Adult Learning Center,<br />
she enrolled at <strong>LaGuardia</strong> as a liberal arts major. Linh hopes to earn her<br />
Associate’s Degree and continue her education in a program that<br />
combines Eastern and Western approaches to nutrition and health.<br />
“My goal is to transfer what I know to others—maybe even an immigrant<br />
community,” says Linh.<br />
“Being a <strong>LaGuardia</strong> student means there’s unlimited possibilities.”<br />
When Fannie Sanchez started out at <strong>LaGuardia</strong> in the<br />
GED program several years ago, she couldn’t have<br />
imagined the journey she was embarking on. Today,<br />
she is a resource specialist in the college’s Career<br />
Development Center as well as a student in the<br />
Paralegal Studies degree program, with aspirations to<br />
become a lawyer in Human Rights and Global Justice.<br />
Along the way, she has racked up some distinctions:<br />
Dean List for fall 2005, fall 2007 and Spring 2008;<br />
induction into the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor<br />
Society in fall 2008; nominated to the 2009 Model<br />
New York Senate project; elected as Student Advisory<br />
Council Officer for Alpha Theta Phi 2009-10; elected<br />
as Faculty Student Disciplinary Committee 2009-10;<br />
and UN Club representative for the Delegation of 2010<br />
(General Assembly Plenary Committee).<br />
“My experiences at <strong>LaGuardia</strong> have been life changing<br />
to the hundredth power. I started with little hope, and<br />
now I have dreams beyond my imagination…Being<br />
a <strong>LaGuardia</strong> student means there’s unlimited<br />
possibilities.”<br />

184 GED students were accepted<br />
into a degree program at <strong>LaGuardia</strong><br />

Taking the Leap from Learning English<br />
to Earning a <strong>College</strong> Degree<br />
After spending a year in the <strong>CUNY</strong> Language Immersion Program, John Correa Solórzano<br />
learned about the Accelerated Study in Associate Program (ASAP) and began taking college<br />
classes in fall 2009. “In ASAP, I can find tutors, and I have an advisor who always is guiding<br />
me,” says John.<br />
“My goal in the Immersion Program was to learn English as soon as possible,” he recalls.<br />
“However, once I started taking regular classes, my goal was to do well in school and keep<br />
improving my English.” With a major in Liberal Arts/Math and Science and nine credits so far,<br />
John is contemplating his educational future, which he hopes will include earning an<br />
associate’s degree “with honors” and going on to a four year college.<br />

my journey at <strong>LaGuardia</strong>, with the<br />
‘‘Throughout ongoing support of the PDA, my GPA never<br />
flounders below 3.5. The Program for Deaf Adults introduced<br />
me to services that I didn't know existed, providing me with interpreters,<br />
note-takers and captionists. <strong>LaGuardia</strong>'s strong supportive program<br />
for the deaf allows me to eagerly participate in classes, be on the SAC<br />
committee, be an active member of the ASL club and be involved in<br />
campus activities such as poetry readings and leadership conferences<br />
without feeling I have a limitation. When I was having trouble<br />
applying statistical concepts in the classroom, my counselor<br />
’’<br />
at the<br />
PDA set me up with an experienced deaf math tutor.<br />

Luz and Javier Pumarejo<br />
Mother and Son Learn Together at <strong>LaGuardia</strong><br />
Luz Pumarejo has two aims: for herself, to learn American Sign Language<br />
(ASL) and pursue a graduate degree in education, and for her son, Javier,<br />
to excel in reading and writing. To this end, the special education teacher<br />
assistant is taking ASL classes in <strong>LaGuardia</strong>’s Program for Deaf Adults.<br />
“I want to communicate better with my students who have hearing or<br />
learning disabilities,” she says. Javier is enrolled in <strong>College</strong> for Children’s<br />
Reading and Writing classes for Grade 2 as well as Spanish class. As a prekindergartener,<br />
Luz brought Javier to the program to help him overcome<br />
his shyness. Four years later, he still loves to come, and his mom says he<br />
has improved academically during this time. So, while Luz works on her<br />
career goals at <strong>LaGuardia</strong>, Javier “enjoys classes and friends” at <strong>College</strong><br />
for Children—a perfect arrangement.<br />
