Spring Transfer Fair 2017
|
|
|
The Transfer Center hosted its Spring Fair on Tuesday, February 7, at the Newport Beach Center. The wet weather did not dampen our four-year universities or students from participating. This "mini" fair attracted over eighty Coastline students and thirty-one schools that included CSU Fullerton, CSU San Marcos, Cal Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Chapman University, Penn State Online, Arizona State University Online, to name a few.
The Transfer Center staff plans to follow-up with thirty-two students who submitted passport cards that they had stamped at the tables they visited.
The Transfer Center wishes to thank the Newport Beach Center Administrative Office, the Counseling Academic Coaches, Student Success Tutors, and Maintenance and Operations for making this transfer fair possible and a success!

Movie Night Featuring Moana!
|
|
|
Coastline Associated Student Government (ASG) hosted the Spring 2017 Movie Night Event on Friday, February 10th at the Newport Beach Center. Over 140 people attended the event including students, staff, faculty, and their families!
For this event, the students selected Disney’s Moana—an exciting new animated film that has received rave reviews since it was released in the theaters in 2016. ASG obtained a one-time license to be able to show the film publicly prior to its release on DVD.
The event featured free admission, hot appetizers served and prepared by Orange Coast College's Catering Department, popcorn, and a selection of Moana-themed giveaways. The kids had a blast meeting Fin, our College mascot, and took plenty of photos with the friendly dolphin. According to the most recent records, this is the highest attendance Coastline has had at an ASG Movie Night.
ASG is appreciative of everyone who came out to support the event.

Acquired Brain Injury Program (ABI)

Coastline's Acquired Brain Injury Program
Our very first In the Spotlight features a program that is very near and dear to the hearts of many at Coastline. Even though this renowned program has been around for 38 years, it still remains one of the college's innovative programs. Today, it is housed in the Newport Beach Center.
The Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Program has helped countless adults who have suffered acquired brain injures, re-enter and transition back to the work-force, academic, and/or volunteer activities in the community.
When starting this program, Coastline had the first community college-based cognitive retraining program in the country. The ABI Program continues to lead in innovation with its comprehensive curriculum wheel, integration of smart technology, research partnerships, and internship opportunities in neuropsychology and, speech and language pathology.

Curriculum
The ABI Program features an integrated curriculum focused on cognitive (or thinking) psychosocial and community transitional skills most relevant to the academic and/or day-to-day success of adults living with brain injury. Cognitive skills addressed by the program include organization, note taking, decision making, reading to learn, memory, problem-solving, and time management. In addition, students explore psychosocial issues associated with brain injury, including communication, cognitive behavioral strategies, communication, emotional intelligence, as well as brain anatomy. An emphasis on goal setting, self-regulation, and the use of compensatory strategies is placed throughout the curriculum and helps tie the various topics together to assist students, upon graduation, to re-enter and transition to work, academic, and/or volunteer activities in the community.

Smart Technology
The ABI Program began integrating smart technology (iPhones, etc.) in the process of brain injury recovery over 10 years ago and continues to be a leader in the use and training of technology for adults with brain injury and the professionals who work with them. In fact, the program faculty members have been invited to present at many conferences, Veterans Administration and Department of Defense workshops, and professional webinars, including several sponsored by the national Brain Injury Association and several of its state affiliates.
In addition to training in the use of smart technology, Michelle Wild has created two apps specifically designed to help individuals with brain injury, and various other disabilities that involve cognitive challenges. The ReachMyGoals app assists users in learning to plan, monitor/track, and evaluate SMART goals. The PaceMyDay app helps users maximize the energy they have by having them plan their day, monitor how they feel, and adjust the tasks they do based on their energy levels — optimizing success and wellness.
Research
The ABI Program is fortunate to partner on research projects with a variety of universities and organizations, including the University of Oregon’s Center for Brain Injury Research and Training. In addition, the ABI Program sponsors a research symposium each year to bring together many of its research partners with other leaders in the field, in order to share research projects and results directly relevant to the success of Coastline’s ABI students.
Internships
Coastline’s ABI Program is a much sought after internship program for neuropsychology and speech/language therapy graduate students. Graduate students are involved in the testing of incoming and graduating ABI students, assisting students with adjusting to living with a brain injury, and in various research projects. Undergraduate students volunteer in the ABI Program to gain field hours needed for a Mental Health Care Worker Certificate or other coursework.
Awards
Coastline’s ABI Program has long served as a national model for other community college brain injury programs. Coastline’s ABI Program and its faculty have won numerous awards for instructional excellence over the years, including the Board of Governors Exemplary Program Award, Third Annual Board of Governors, and Chancellor’s Office Student Success Award.
Coastline’s ABI Program continues its innovative beginnings by leading the nation in developing cognitive and psychosocial curriculum for adults with brain injuries, integrating smart technology in every aspect of its curriculum, and assisting students’ transition back into school, work, or volunteer placements. The ABI Program is committed to its students through direct contact in the classroom and being a national leader in curriculum development, integration of smart technology in the cognitive retraining process, and partnering with others to further the understanding of how technologies and teaching techniques can have a positive impact on not only their students but on brain injury survivors across the country.
