HIBBING â Students pursuing an Associates of Arts degree from Hibbing Community College will have a new opportunity to save money on textbooks beginning this fall.
Rachel Milani, Library Technician at HCC earlier this week said the college has added about 50, Z-degree courses.
âThe Z-degree offers students the same quality education on a path to an AA Degree without the cost of textbooks,â Milani said.
Students working on earning an AA degree stand to save an estimated $1,050 per year if they enroll in all Z-degree classes, based on the average of what students are now paying for textbooks, Milani added.
HCC Interim Dean of Student Academics Jessalyn Sabin on Thursday said that between 90 to 100 students earn an AA Degree through HCC each year. HCC also offers a variety of other degrees and programs at its Hibbing campus, along with opportunities for students to continue their education through transfer programs through the Minnesota State College and University Sy
Mom sadly left us but happily stepped into Heaven when God took her hand.
Mom was born in Restoule, Ontario, one of seven children of Thomas and Blanche Birch. She attended Jumbo Gardens Public School and then Port Arthur Collegiate. After leaving school in grade 10, she married Bob Austin and they had 8 children.
Once the children were older, Mom worked as a librarian in the school system then worked in the Optical Dispensary at the Port Arthur Clinic. Following her work at the clinic she worked as the Secretary/Receptionist for the Public Relations Department of the Salvation Army.
Her final job before retiring was at the City of Thunder Bay Police Department in the Communications Centre where she spent 13 years. She also volunteered as a Girl Guide leader for several years enjoying her time there immensely.
Another 100 are expected to get a dose on Friday, and 50 the day after. “And then, come next Monday, we’ll be in full swing,” said Public Safety Commissioner Lloyd Phillips, who also appeared in the video. “We are at the beginning of the end with these vaccines,” he said, adding that health officials are aiming to vaccinate at least 80 per cent of the community, with another shipment of Moderna vaccines arriving next week. “If we could get 100 per cent, that would be even better.” Public health staff and elders held a traditional tobacco-burning ceremony to receive the 242 doses that arrived at the centre Thursday.
