Metropolitan Community College instructor Brian Hurley was

one of just 22 honorees nationwide to receive the 2019 Dale

P. Parnell Distinguished Faculty award from the American

Association of Community Colleges.

Hurley, cybersecurity program coordinator and a computer

science and information systems instructor, is also an alum of

the college. He was recognized for gathering student and com-

munity feedback and using it to strengthen the CSIS program.

The award also means he goes beyond the basics to ensure

students are successful.

The award is presented to faculty who support students inside

and outside the classroom, participate in college committees,

and go beyond what is required to ensure that students are

successful in their academic endeavors.

Hurley was also the driving force behind MCC’s successful

bid to be named a National Center of Academic Excellence in

Cyber Defense for its cybersecurity program — one of just 70

two-year colleges in the nation to reach that top-tier designa-

tion.

With Hurley’s help, MCC opened a new cybersecurity lab on

the Blue River campus.

He also launched MCC’s student Cybersecurity Club, sponsors

students in the National Cyber League Cyber Competition,

created two information security student intern positions, and

hosts student tours of Cerner Corp.’s Data Center, among other

accomplishments.

The chair of the business technology division at MCC-Blue

River calls him a natural instructor: “Students not only gravi-

tate to Brian, but they come back again and again to share their

successes. His passion shows in the way he pursues opportu-

nities to further a student’s path to either go immediately into a

job or to continue with a higher degree.”

Metropolitan Community College psychology instructor Bob Williams has

developed two games to help students effectively work through the decision-

making process. He calls it “The Athena Program,” named after the Greek goddess

of wisdom.

The games put teams of students in real-life situations and requires them to make

decisions about changing variables within the games. The games are played out

across four boards where students can see the impact of their decisions while

teaching key elements of decision-making skills including critical and creative

thinking. They also help develop leadership and teamwork skills along with

sharpening personal relations and problem solving.

Williams compares the games to a flight simulator for pilots. It creates a safe

environment where students can learn from their mistakes without any real

consequences.

“The idea is to create a program that would help college students work in the

real world,” Williams says. “We try to teach the principles of real-world decision

making so people can learn them and apply them.”

The Borton family had a problem:

because he was born without a left hand,

3-year-old Hudson couldn’t figure out

how to ride his brand-new tricycle. So his

parents turned to MCC’s FabLab for help.

That’s the specialized 3-D printing facility

MCC students use in their engineering

programs.

Engineering technology program

coordinator Mike Cline, instructor Chris Page and MCC student David Valdez put

their skills — and hearts — into designing a custom prosthetic attachment that

would allow Hudson to test out his new wheels. The three completed the design in

less than two days, then used MCC printers to produce the device that would let

Hudson race on his trike for years to come.

“It’s hard to describe what you get out of something like this,” said Valdez. “To see

the look on his face and his parents’ faces brought me a lot of joy.”

Hudson’s parents agree. “The people at MCC didn’t know us. They didn’t have to

do all of this, but they took the time to help us,” Lyndsey Borton, Hudson’s mom,

said. “There’s a lot of craziness in the world right now, and to have people like this

at MCC be so kind … it means so much to our family.”

FACULTY FOCUSUSING THE CLASSROOM TO HELP THE COMMUNITY

You can choose from designated study areas like the Student Success

Center at MCC-Penn Valley, which is equipped with group study rooms,

specialized software and other tools to help you navigate your classes.

Career Services experts can help you access resources

outside of your classes to help you get your foot in the door

of your chosen career — or move up in your current one.

You’ll be paired with an academic advisor, who will make

sure you’re staying on track with the number of classes and

credits you need, as well as help with any other items you

need for success.

The labs and facilities provide hands-on experience and are constantly

updated with the help of local businesses and community partners.
