My role as the Advisor for the Early Childhood Education Curriculum Students is to assist the students with planning which courses to take. Our goal is to help students to strategically complete classes in the most effective manner, which is in the best interest of the student.

Bay Mills Community College feels very strongly that students must achieve the necessary English and Writing skills that are so important to every class that you will take. Therefore, BMCC has a policy that all students will be required to take the English placement test, to enroll in the proper English course during the first semester. While each and every class in this curriculum is very important, strong English and Writing skills are essential. As an on-line curriculum, the majority of your work will be submitted through written correspondence, e-mail, attached documents such as term papers or reports, and so on. So, as you can see, English and Writing skills are very important to your college career.

Students should feel free to contact me with any questions or for guidance in choosing which course or courses you should take next. The contact information that I have provided above is so that students can reach me during the day between the hours of 8:00 a.m. (EST) and 4:30 p.m. (EST). Students are also free to contact me at home as needed at 906-248-5360. However, as a general practice I will keep your student information with me during the day. I would also like to let you know that I do travel a great deal with my position as Head Start Director for the Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan. If you do not hear back from me by the next business day, it is safe to assume that I am out of town so please leave a message on my voice mail or via e-mail and I will contact you as soon as I return from travel. Please allow me a couple of days to respond in this case – I will get back to you as soon as possible, I promise!
