VOLUME IV, NUMBER 1 OCTOBER 1966

Miami-Dade Junior College's Second Major Campus Nearing Completion in South Dade.

WELCOME TO SOUTH CAMPUS

SOUTH CAMPUS, ROBERT H. McCABE, VICE PRESIDENT The South Campus of Miami-Dade Junior College will move on to its beautiful new campus site this fall. The

facilities under construction include a 400-station independent study center, a library with more than 1,500 sta­tions, an advanced computer center, 4,000 parking places, and classrooms, laboratories, and other facilities to support a student body of 6,000. The program will include transfer programs, two-year semi-professional programs, and non-credit continuing education courses. Other features are Week-end College, Community Talent Program, courses for advanced high school students, and Florida Atlantic University extension courses.

To operate this program, a competent, experienced faculty was recruited from across the nation. The 131 faculty members have earned degrees in 114 colleges and universities in 38 states and 4 foreign countries. Two of each three members have college teaching experience gained in 79 colleges and universities including Harvard, Duke, Stanford, Ohio State, The University of Istanbul, and The University of Montreal. Forty per cent of the academic faculty have at least one year of graduate work beyond the master's degree, and one of each six have earned doctorates.

Dade County has one of the nation's outstanding high school programs, and we are determined to keep pace by building programs that will allow students a smooth transition from the diverse high school curricula to the college program. Despite the problems of rapidly growing student members, we are committed to personalizing the college operation.

It is my hope that the campus can serve you, as well as your students, in the near future.
