TC3's Hoffman Signs Contract with Random House Division for Latest NovelDRYDEN, N.Y. – Tompkins Cortland Community College English Instructor Cara Hoffman has signed a six-figure deal for publication of her novel, So Much Pretty, with Shaye Areheart Books at Random House. 
 
The novel is a work of literary noir about a young woman's disappearance from a rural New York town, an event that exposes the community's failure to acknowledge a murderer in their midst. Publication date is Spring 2011.
 
Hoffman, a former newspaper journalist, based her novel on experiences she had living in Central New York and working as a reporter.
 
"My inspiration for this novel," she said, "comes from a desire to expose the prevalence of violence against women, to show all the intimate details that comprise a culture of misogyny and silence we often take for granted." 
 
Hoffman had a non-traditional education. She dropped out of high school and spent her adolescence traveling and working in Greece and the Middle East. She returned home in the 90s and, while raising her son, took various jobs at community newspapers before being hired as county reporter for The Cortland Standard. During this time she also published two books on a small press and won several grants and awards for her fiction.
 
"I had no desire to ever go to school." Hoffman said. "I knew I wanted to be a writer and I figured the best education would be reading and working in that field."
 
Hoffman began what has grown to be a strong connection to TC3 when she met English professor Phil Tate in 2004. He connected her with Professor Lisa Ford, chair of the creative writing program. Ford invited Hoffman, who had just published her first novel NIKE, to come to the College as part of the new "visiting writer" program. Later she interned in Bruce Need's academic writing class.
 
The experience helped change the path of her life.
 
"I was amazed by the dedication of Lisa's writing students, and by the work she was doing with them," said Hoffman. "And I could relate to their experiences. My resistance to the idea of getting a degree began to change. I wanted to be a professor and I couldn't do it without the diploma." She applied to Goddard College's Master of Fine Arts Program, graduated in June 2009, and was hired to teach English at TC3.  
 
"One of the reasons I love teaching here is because my students bring so much to the table. They refuse to be limited by background or life's circumstances, and they're incredibly self-reliant, down-to-earth, and funny. TC3 students are some of the hardest working, most (real-world) worldly college kids in the region. All of us who teach here are lucky."

TC3.biz Honored by State Organization for Innovative ProgramHospitality Program RecognizedDRYDEN, N.Y. – TC3.biz has received the Continuing Education Association of New York (CEANY) James C. Hall Award for Credit Programming. The "TC3.biz Hospitality Certificate Program" was honored as an innovative development of a bridge between noncredit workshops and the College's hotel and restaurant management degree program. It was the only program in the credit category honored by CEANY.
 
 The hospitality certificate program allows participants to take the six-course workshop and earn a noncredit certificate and as many as six college credits in TC3's hotel and restaurant management program, should they decide to pursue a degree. The program was created in 2008 and continues to be offered. 
 
"There are a lot of people working entry level jobs in the hospitality industry who have not considered college," said TC3.biz Director Martha Hubbard.  "We see them come for a non-credit workshop and find they are interested in pursuing more education in the field. This gives them a leg up as they start that process."
 
The program was the result of an ongoing collaboration between TC3.biz and TC3 Hotel and Restaurant Management Program Chair Susan Stafford. It has produced a benefit for the entire program, not just the students taking advantage of the bridge.
 
"This collaboration with TC3.biz helps not only the students entering the program through the TC3.biz workshops, but all of our students," said Stafford. "The students coming in through the TC3.biz program bring a vital viewpoint on topics we discuss in the classroom. They have worked in the field and offer industry networking and experiential input. The certifications offered by the National Restaurant Association in TC3.biz are extremely important for non-credit and credit students alike."  
 
The next running of the TC3.biz Hospitality Certificate program will be in the spring, with the series of six workshops beginning in March with "Understanding the Nature and Culture of Hospitality." "Business Ethics & Professionalism," "Greater Customer Connections," "Everyday Math and Money Skills," "ServSafe Food Handler in Charge," and "ServSafe Alcohol Service Training" follow, running through the end of April. 
 
The classes can be taken individually or as a series. For more information or to register, call TC3.biz at 607 844 6586.
