you to take a refresher course to qualify for renewal.

Portfolio Review Workshop 

NEW! OFF CAMPUS

that the photographer understand the business of art. 

In this comprehensive four-hour workshop, you’ll 

learn how to create a successful, dynamic portfolio 

that highlights your strengths and how to present it 

professionally. Whether you make fine art, commercial 

work or journalism, your portfolio should convey 

your vision and mastery of the technical aspects of 

photography. Perspective, portfolio design and selective 

editing as well as tips on personal presentation 

will be covered. Come with 20 to 30 samples of your 

work. Diane DiRoberto is the owner of The 

Darkroom, a photography studio in Santa Fe.

and to let information 

sink in. We 

really absorbed the 

energy of the site, 

it was much better 

than a self-guided

that serves to 

give a great

whole region 

including the physical

and Casa Rinconada. You’ll also take hikes out of the 

canyon. Archaeology, architecture, mythology and the 

Pueblo worldview are highlighted, and you’ll learn 

about archaeological methods and the prehistory of 

the area. Course #SW310 involves two hikes out of 

the canyon. Course #SW311 offers an easier pace 

and involves only one hike out of the canyon and 

more time at each site. You must furnish your own 

transportation and food; car pools to the overnight 

campsite will be arranged. An itinerary will be provided

Geologic Story of the Valles Caldera 

OFF CAMPUS 




Kirt Kempter 

Experience the magnificent vistas of the northern 

Jemez Mountains with local geologist Kirt Kempter. 

Departing Santa Fe, travel to Española and then turn

Mountains. Ascending the back side of Chicoma 

Peak, there are spectacular views of the Rio Grande 

Rift, Pajarito Plateau and other geologic features of 

the northern Jemez Mountains. The road also cuts 

through the core of an old volcano, active 10 million 

years ago. Our destination is a picnic lunch stop on 

the north rim of the Valles Caldera, providing a spectacular 

view of the northern portion of the caldera. A 

lecture at this stop will provide a geologic history of 

the caldera since the massive eruption that occurred 

1.2 million years ago — a dynamic story describing 

multiple lakes and volcanic eruptions within the 

caldera since its collapse. Other geologic highlights 

include overviews of Cerro Pedernal, the Rio Grande 

Rift and the Chama River Valley.

recycling. Students will plan and design a water harvesting 

and/or effluent recycling system for a residence 

or commercial building. They will also develop 

site and model water use scenarios to explore conservation 

and sustainability. 

★ Constructed Water Systems II 





The fundamentals of water system planning and 

design are explored. Water technologies and projects

Spanish Preparation — Two Weeks.........................14

Learning for Life 

Todd Williams, a 58-year-old Santa Fe carpenter with an affable 

smile and an artsy vibe, said his secret to staying young is by 

remaining in school and dreaming of a second career in art. 

His carpentry work pays the bills. But he caps off his days at 

Santa Fe Community College by studying archival printing and 

digital imaging to satisfy his omnivorous passion for art or 

specifically what he calls “photo art.” 

“There is so much to learn,” he said about staying in school at 

his age. “I really would like to go out the door in the morning as 

a working artist.” 

Williams doesn’t know when or if that will happen, but he’s encouraged by his progress thanks 

to the strong support of teachers, fellow students and SFCC’s particular focus on design. 

“I am preparing to take my work out in the world, and it’s a result of my learning experience 

here,” he said. “In class I am learning to use new tools, as I have mastered tools for carpentry, 

but the ends are so different. My new tools are for channeling my personal energy and inquiry. 

It’s richer; it’s a world beyond.”

education rose from about 53 percent to 57 percent.

What are SFCC’s 

Core Values 

This year, a college-wide strategic planning effort got 

underway with a dynamic day-long session we called 

“Journey to the Core.” 

After much deliberation,these are the basic tenets the 

college identified as our core values: 

LEARNING 

SFCC conceives of learning as an ever-expanding 

multi-dimensional spiral unfolding toward the 

beyond. Learning is both an informative and transformative 

process connecting self to community through 

a life-long process. 

COMMUNITY 

We commit to a positive environment, wherein each 

person experiences a sense of belonging and value. We 

honor relationships and take responsibility for fostering 

trust, respect, and good will. 

QUALITY 

We recognize that individuals and programs grow 

most effectively when they strive for excellence.We 

seek constantly to set our standards high; to improve 

the academic experience; to simplify administrative 

procedures; to remain abreast of educational and technical 

trends; and to promote balance in the lives of all 

our community members. 

EMPOWERMENT 

We support,trust and empower our valued and 

respected employees to further the shared mission of 

the college through responsible decision making, risktaking, 

participation in planning and being accountable 

for outcomes. 

INTEGRITY 

When we teach, we are all devoted to student learning. 

When we collaborate, we speak openly, honestly, 

bravely, and truthfully. We see people as integrated 

wholes to be treated with respect and dignity. 

DIVERSITY 

With acceptance,respect, and civility, we create a 

learning environment that enhances the human 

potential of all members of the SFCC community 

without regard to race,ethnicity, gender, age, sexual 

orientation, socio-economic status, physical abilities, 

religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. 

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION 

We believe in a culture of kind, respectful,open, and 

honest discourse.We foster relationships of trust and 

mutual responsibility through listening; clear and direct 

expression of ideas, feelings, and information; and purposeful 

use of diverse modes of communication.

CONTINUING EDUCATION REGISTRATION

OBTAINING YOUR PIN: 

Initially you are assigned a temporary PIN. It will be 

the six digits of your birthdate in MMDDYY format, 

e.g., birthdate of May 2, 1978 = 050278 

LOGGING IN TO THE SYSTEM 





CLICK: Log In 




USER PIN: Enter your temporary PIN. 

SELECT A PERMANENT PIN. Upon successful login 

to the system, you will see the following message: 

“your PIN has expired.” Your initial PIN was temporary 

for security reasons. 

ENTER NEW PIN: Choose any six numbers except for 

your birthdate, which is the series of numbers used 

for your temporary PIN. Re-enter your PIN. 

CREATE A SECURITY QUESTION AND ANSWER. If 

you ever forget your PIN, this will enable you to 

choose a new PIN. Note: Due to the fact this tool 

will just allow you to select a new PIN, it is not beneficial 

to embed your PIN in your security question 

and/or answer. 

Enter the security question. Enter the answer. Write 

down your Student ID, PIN and security answer. 

Store this information for future reference. 

REGISTRATION: 

refer to RETURNING USER registration 

instructions.

Your security question will appear. 

CLICK in the answer box and provide the correct 

answer. (The answer has to be an exact match to the 

answer you initially entered at the time of account 

set up. It is case-sensitive.) 

If you provide the correct answer, the next screen

please call 428-1270 or 428-1222 for assistance during 

business hours. 

We cannot provide you with your PIN, but will be 

able to reset your account. If we have to reset your 

account, you will have to complete account set-up 

procedures (select PIN and enter a security question 

and answer). 

I AM SEEING THE FOLLOWING: 

“ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT HAS 

BEEN DENIED” 

Your account has been disabled; this happens after 

three incorrect log-in attempts (for security reasons). 

Call 428-1270 or 428-1222 during business hours 

to have your account enabled.
