Deal set for opening programs at AACC to students from HCC

School officials are scheduled to sign agreements Tuesday that would make several Anne Arundel Community College degree programs available to students attending Howard Community College.

The arrangement will open Anne Arundel programs in radiologic technology and hotel/restaurant management to Howard students.

The agreements detail requirements that HCC students are to meet, and how the colleges will coordinate courses, transfer and admission procedures.

The radiologic technology degree program is part of AACC's School of Health Professions, Wellness and Physical Education. The management degree is offered at the college's Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Tourism Institute, which opened Aug. 1.

Center seeks to teach teens to deal with peer pressure

Teaching teen-agers to deal with peer pressure is the focus of a state-funded "How to Say No!" program being offered for group presentations to young people by the Anne Arundel Conflict Resolution Center.

The hourlong program, for children and teen-agers ages 11-14, emphasizes "continuing to say no to risky behaviors in the face of peer pressure," the center said in a statement.

Funding for the program was provided by the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention.
