Virginia Community Colleges
Join Together to Help
Students Earn Degrees

Tues. Sept. 4, 2018 Hinton News - 7
West Virginia community college
students who transfer to West
Virginia University before earning
their associate degrees can now
receive their credentials
retroactively, thanks to a new
partnership between the institution,
the West Virginia Community and
Technical College System
(WVCTCS) and the National
Student Clearinghouse.
The partnership, which uses the
Clearinghouse's Reverse Transfer
Service, is focused on boosting
college completion rates across West
Virginia.
"Seeing more of our students earn
post secondary degrees is always our
leading goal," Dr. Sarah Tucker,
WVCTCS Chancellor, said.
"Through the reverse transfer
process, we can give students the
two-year credentials they've earned,
while they continue pursuing a four-
year degree. We're proud to partner
with WVU to make this possible,
and to put even more of our students
on track to strong and rewarding
careers."
"WVU is privileged to work with
our state's two-year institutions to
provide earned credentials to our
state's students," said Paul Krieder,
vice provost for academic strategies,
curriculum and assessment. "This
partnership solidifies a process of per annum in extra earnings

General Tips
Set up your photo by getting close to your subject. Pictures
taken from a distance often lack the detail that is necessary to
show up well in the newspaper. If I eople are in the photo, focus
on their faces; a full length shot is rarely necessary.
Choose a photo that is in focus and that frames the subject
well. A photo that is too dark or is 'ffuzzy" will only be darker and
fuzzier on newsprint, which is very porous paper, and will not
be accepted.
Each photo must have an accompanying caption--"cutline"
in journalism terms. That caption should describe what is taking
place in the picture.
Each person in the photo must be identified. Group photo
identifications should be from left to right, starting with the front
row.
Always include the name and a daytime.telephone number for
the person submitting the information. That way, if there is a
question about the information (spelling of a name, identification
of a person pictured, etc.), the issue can be resolved quickly.
Do not fax photos; the image cannot be reproduce. They may
be mailed, dropped by our office or e-mailed.
Mailed/Dropped Off Photos
Never send/drop off an irreplaceable photograph. While
newspaper staffers are as careful as possible, photos may be
damaged or lost, either in the office or in the mail.
Every effort will be made to return a photo which is
accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope of the
appropriate size. Once printed in the, paper, other photos are
placed in a box in the front office of the newspaper and may be
picked up in a reasonable amount of time.
Don't tape, staple or otherwise affix a photo to anything else.
If you must write an identifier on the back of the photo, use a
ball-point pen, not a gel-writer or marker that will rub off on Other
pictures.
E-Mailed Photos
When e-mailing a picture, send it as a high-resolution jpg. Do
not embed photos into any Word documents.
If e-mailing directly from a digital camera, do not make
adjustments to the image.
If e-mailing a scanned image, send it at least four inches wide,
with a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch).
The best way to send the accompanying text is to include the
words in the body of the e-mail, with the picture only as the
attachment. The newspaper cannot accept Publisher, Wordpad
or Wordperfect files.

Dear Friends:
It is once again time to ask for your vote in the upcoming gene/ al

and privilege to sit in your seat in the legislature. I humbly ask

In the coming weeks I will outline the accomplishments of the
legislature during the time I have served. I will also share with

you will support my bid for reelection.
