Cincinnati State adjunct instructor helps preserve King Records legacy
Please join me in congratulating Mike Jones for his active role in preserving the musical and cultural heritage of King Records. Mike will serve as the on-site instructor for the world debut of the Rock Hall of Fame King Records Class, hosted by CET on Friday, Nov. 18. Even though Mike retired two years ago, he continues to teach music and communications courses for us. A new class that he is offering this term as a special topics course is a Survey of Rock and Roll class. Let us thank Mike for his continuing contributions to the community and to Cincinnati State.
Former Cincinnati State development director Elliott Ruther has also been active in efforts to promote and preserve the King Records legacy.

Cincinnati State FIRST Lego League Tournament seeks volunteers
FIRST Lego League (FLL) is a robotics competition geared toward middle school-aged students. Our mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
Cincinnati State will be hosting a regional qualifying tournament for FLL on Dec. 3 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., and we need approximately 50 volunteers to help support our efforts! You can be a judge or referee for this event, which requires training taking place at iSpace in Sharonville on Nov. 15 (address below), or you can just come on Dec. 3 and help direct traffic, hand out information, cheer on the kids, and generally have a great time! Besides the obvious benefits of being involved and feeling great about helping kids realize their potential, we will also be providing all in attendance with:
• A SNAZZY T-shirt! (maroon button-collar polos for judges, zebra shirts for the refs, and FLL logo t-shirts for event volunteers)
• FREE FOOD for all volunteers! (breakfast and lunch)
• FREE Parking! (in the Central Parkway garage)
• FREE Legos!! (When the competition is over, those who stick around to help us tear down get first dibs on our competition Lego kits!)
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Abigail Yee at 1741 or abigail.yee@cincinnatistate.edu or Josh Haldeman at 1769 or joshua.haldeman@cincinnatistate.edu and we will provide you with the information you need! Thanks for your time and consideration. Abbey & Josh.

Volunteers needed for High School Computer Camp at Cincinnati State
In the first or second week in January the BDPA Cincinnati Chapter will continue our Computer and Technology training for high school students. BDPA is a national organized designed to encourage minorities to consider and pursue careers in the computer industry. The High School Computer Camp that the local chapter offers at Cincinnati State is designed to introduce students to computer technology and additionally prepare them for regional and national competition. We have conducted this training continuously for more than 10 years. This training has a beginning component, an intermediate component and an advanced component.
I am enlisting your aid as instructor, lab assistant and student supervisor for this year's sessions. There is much too much content to give you the right view of the program in email, so I'm scheduling two 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. sessions on Nov. 19 and Dec. 3 to familiarize instructors and supporters with the program and a final session on December 10 to schedule and make teaching assignments for next year's program. The following link provides a view of the introductory course: http://www.bdpa-camp.org/coursedetails.aspx
The intermediate course prepares students for the Midwest Regional Computer Competition and The BDPA National High School Computer Competition. The first 5 teams at the national level will win scholarships and prizes. There will be 25 - 30 teams competing at the national level.
This is of course a challenging undertaking, however, it is designed to be challenging – for students and challenging for their instructors. I also have to say that it's fun, exciting and rewarding to see young people learn and grow into successful adults. You will encounter some very exceptional students in this program.
Please contact me at frank.hill@cincinnatistate.edu if you are able to help with this project. Thank you. Frank Hill.
