Academics & So Much More! Blog

On Saturday, October 12th from 9am-1pm, TCC's Office of Educational Accessibility hosted a targeted college visit for students with disabilities and their parents. The event took place at the Virginia Beach Student Center and provided opportunities for students to learn more about college-readiness.

Beth Callahan, College-wide Coordinator for the Office of Accessibility, facilitated a Q & A panel with the students.  This panel included Dr. Thomas Geary (English), Kimberly Lee (Psychology), Michael VanderWerf (Skilled Trades Academy) and Heather Fitzgerald (Library Coordinator).

In the ever-evolving landscape of higher education, the role of the college library has transformed from a mere repository of books to a vibrant hub of learning and collaboration. At the heart of this transformation lies a crucial partnership: the collaboration between librarians and instructors.

In Professor Orlando Stone’s English class, traditional literature meets the silver screen as students learn from Librarian Missy Comer how to find films to review based on movies available in the library’s collection. She also navigates students through the process of locating top critics and reliable biographical information on directors, actors and others tied to the film the student has chosen to review.

Together, Stone and Comer play a pivotal role in this cinematic journey of inspiring students to explore, learn and grow.
