From Script to Syndication: A Step-by-Step Look at Producing a 30-Minute Comedy - (S11)
Do you ever wonder how groups of writers work together to create a single episode of your favorite show? In this
session, we will take a closer look at how a script becomes an episode, what goes on in the infamous “Writers Room,”
how producers navigate censorship, and the logistics of on-set production for a multi-camera show. Tara Stillions
Whitehead will draw upon her experience working with the producers and writers of The Big Bang Theory and Two and a
Half Men. Instructor: Tara Stillions Whitehead, HACC English Faculty
Sustainability 101 – Your Ecological Footprint: What is it and Why does it Matter? - (S12)
People, particularly in developed countries, are using natural resources at a rate much greater than they can be
replenished. This unsustainable activity is negatively impacting the environment, which provides critically important
services to promote human well-being. In this session, we examine how individual choices regarding transportation,
energy, food, housing and purchasing impact the environment. Participants will have the opportunity to calculate their
ecological footprint and determine how various lifestyle changes can reduce their ecological footprint. Instructor: Rosie
Bolen, Mount St. Mary’s Biology Faculty and member of Hundredfold Farm Community
Safeguarding Your Financial Identity - (S13)
We have never been more vulnerable to having our identity stolen. In 2014, 12.7 million US consumers had $16 billion
stolen by fraudsters. This session will provide steps you can take now to protect your identity from fraudsters, hackers,
scammers, and phishers so that you can safely surf, shop, and bank on-line. Instructor: William Bair, CFA, AIFA, The
Financial Consulate
Gettysburg 100 Years Ago: Gettysburg and World War One - (S14)
Do you recall what life was like just 50 years ago? If you are a retiree, you surely do. But let's travel back yet another
fifty years to those days of the "Great War" that our grandparents experienced almost 100 years ago. Learn how the
events "over there" impacted Gettysburg, its residents, and changed our town. Instructor: Terry Havel, HACC History
Faculty

Beyond the Red Carpet: An Inside Look at Film and Television Production – (S21)
Life today has been intensely shaped by the televisual, and probably the most significant vehicle of communication is
visual storytelling in the form of film and television. The stories and characters of our favorite shows have deep roots in
how we view ourselves and the world; the narratives provide escape from monotony, critiques of societal flaws, and
visions of mankind’s potential or doom. All said, movies and television are closely tied to our identity. So if that is the
case, why don’t we know more about how they are made? In this informative session, we will explore some of the lesser
known aspects of film conception, selection, production, and distribution, and the role of the industry in choosing what we
see or don’t see. Instructor: Tara Stillions Whitehead, HACC English Faculty
Sustainability 102 – Ecological Footprint Reduction: Lessons from a Local Community – (S22)
Since 1997, residents of the Hundredfold Farm cohousing community have been learning together as they explore and
experience the practicalities of living sustainably. During this session, we will discuss how residents of this awardwinning community have integrated sustainable practices into their homes and daily lives. Discover how the choices they
made when developing and building their community have reduced their ecological footprint and improved their quality
of life. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on how they may incorporate sustainable technologies and
practices in their own homes and lives to reduce their impact on the environment. Instructor: William Hartzell, HACC
Biology Faculty and founding member of Hundredfold Farm Community.
Are You Financially Healthy? Find out by taking a Financial Physical – (S23)

security, peace and independence. Instructor: William Bair, CFA, AIFA, The Financial Consulate
Baker's Dozen: Thirteen Interesting, but Little Known Places to Visit in Gettysburg – (S24)
Dinosaur tracks to early airmail service. Opera houses to jailhouses and courthouses. Sports legends to the Underground
Railroad. Indian attacks to tapeworm railroads. So many interesting stories about places in and around town you just

the battle! Instructor: Terry Havel, HACC History Faculty
