o Timothy Decker of Rhinebeck, director of programs and activities at DCC South, is celebrating 25 years with DCC.He received his B.A. from Marist College, and his M.S. from the State University of New York College at New Paltz.

Timothy R. Decker, director of programs and activities for the college's South Extension site, received the 2005 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service.

The partnership would give mature students "an additional option" to get ahead for college, said Tim Decker, director of Dutchess Community College's South campus.

DCC already offers the program at eight other local high schools: Beacon, Millbrook, Pawling, Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Pine Plains, Our Lady of Lourdes and Dutchess County Board of Cooperative Educational Services.

About 300 students participate each semester, taking courses such as psychology, economics and history.

District teachers get adjunct faculty status and courses are taught the same way they would be at the community college, Decker said.

Options offered

It's for students who want to accelerate their studies, but don't necessarily want an Advanced Placement course.

A benefit for students is they don't have to commute to the college, Decker said.
