New Feature at CCBA Conference
"Publishing Your Work"
|

Publishing your work in the field of community college baccalaureates is an important professional activity necessary to advance baccalaureate accessibility through community colleges. Many of you have unpublished dissertations, best practices, unique curriculum, or innovative program breakthroughs that are positively impacting our students. CCBA is pleased to announce we will be holding a Writing for Publication Workshop on Sunday morning with published authors and journal editors. Bring your ideas, best practices, rough drafts, and dissertation abstracts and let our authors guide you through the publishing maze. Disseminate your work and make a difference!

This alert is from one of our friends from Washington State, Soo H. Park, Director of Program Development and Baccalaureate Opportunities at Columbia Basin College.
“One of our BAS graduates wanted to take the LSAT test and couldn’t find our institution, CBC (Columbia Basin College), under the bachelor program list on the application. CBC was only listed as a 2-year degree granting institution.
Our registrar contacted the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) and requested that they list Columbia Basin College as a choice. While the LSAC is working on adding us, the student can still take the LSAT test because the bachelor program selection is not required at the time of testing.
This is being shared in case your institution encounters a similar situation!
