ANC One of Eighteen Nationwide Recipients of the Metallica Scholars Initiative Grant

Bytheville, Arkansas – Arkansas Northeastern College has announced its selection as one of 18 nationwide recipients this year to join the prestigious Metallica Scholars Initiative (MSI). This honor comes as part of the largest expansion of the initiative to date, supported by a generous $75,000 grant aimed at enhancing the technical programs offered by ANC to better prepare citizens for the growing workforce in the region.  

“We are thrilled to be part of the Metallica Scholars Initiative and to receive this generous support,” said Dr. Christopher Heigle, president of Arkansas Northeastern College. “This grant will significantly enhance our ability to provide top-notch career and technical education, opening new doors of opportunity for our students. The impact of this initiative is profound, and we are excited to see our students thrive in their chosen fields.”

Launched in 2019 by All Within My Hands in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), MSI began with ten colleges and primarily manufacturing programs. With steady development by creative and dedicated leadership, MSI offers diverse workforce opportunities for students interested in gaining the skills and training necessary to find meaningful and well-paying careers. Additional curricula will include construction, health care, and engineering, contributing to 30 fields of study offered within the Initiative. To date, AWMH has invested over $10.5M in the American workforce, reaffirming a commitment to career and technical education at the local level.

James “Papa Het” Hetfield, Metallica’s lead vocalist and guitarist, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative's growth: “When we launched the Metallica Scholars Initiative, it really spoke to me. A collective goal of breaking the stigma of trade skills. Trade skills are vital to society, and what’s even more important is to support the many folks who are trying to create a career by learning and using these skills. I am so proud - we all are - to see how this program is changing lives by providing much-needed resources to empower students, and it’s great that we’re able to make our biggest grant yet to support these students and the future workforce. We are reaching even further for year six of the Metallica Scholars Initiative. This year, our program will be in 60 schools in all 50 states! All thanks to your support.”

“I am happy to congratulate the newest Metallica Scholarship Initiative colleges. The sustained investment in workforce education by the All Within My Hands Foundation has benefitted thousands of community college students,” said Walter G. Bumphus, president and CEO of AACC. “This work helps to advance skills education and the nation’s workforce pipeline. We are honored to continue this partnership to provide critical resources that eliminate barriers for students to participate in skills education programs that lead to family-sustaining wage careers.”

 

By the end of year six, MSI estimates that it will have helped more than 8,000 students with a wide range of backgrounds and ages gain skills to assist in finding meaningful jobs and careers. Metallica Scholars are often considered non-traditional students, as many have families they support or are the first in their families to pursue a college education. AWMH and AACC aim to connect students to skill-building opportunities and bridge the talent needs of the American workforce, all while utilizing the community college system, which is the most affordable, flexible, and industry-relevant applied-learning training provider in the country.

“Metallica, through their foundation, is changing how people view and engage with the trades in this country, and it is working,” stated Peter Delgrosso, executive director of All Within My Hands. “Metallica Scholars are diverse, motivated, and ambitious, and we are here to help them reach their goals. I am so proud and honored to be able to announce entrance into all 50 states as this is a significant milestone for not only our foundation but the incredible community we have helped foster and connect.”

ANC Student Snapshot Recipient Spring 2023

Arkansas Northeastern College is pleased to announce that Octavia Madison has been named the ANC Student Snapshot recipient for the Spring 2023 semester. Madison, who was nominated by Associate Professor and Director for Associate Degree Nursing Tonya Pankey, is a shining example of perseverance and professionalism.

Madison first enrolled in the Practical Nursing program at ANC in the fall of 2013. She completed the program in the summer of 2014 and passed her licensure exam. For years, she worked as an LPN, gaining valuable experience in the healthcare field. However, Madison's thirst for knowledge and her passion for nursing did not stop there.

In the fall of 2021, Madison enrolled in ANC's Associate Degree Nursing LPN to RN program. Despite her busy schedule, she has remained committed to her studies and is on track to graduate next month. Madison's dedication to her education is an inspiration to her peers and her instructors alike.

One of the most remarkable things about Madison is her consistently positive attitude. She is always punctual for class and clinical, and she goes above and beyond in all of her assignments. Though she has a quiet demeanor, she participates actively in class discussions and always has a warm, welcoming smile for those she encounters in the hallway.

At ANC, we are committed to providing our students with the education and support they need to achieve their goals. We are proud to count Octavia Madison among our students and look forward to seeing all that she will accomplish in the years to come. Congratulations, Octavia, on this well-deserved recognition!
