It is a great time to be part of the Henry Ford College community. There are many great changes occurring at HFC. One such change is that the Culinary Arts program will soon be offering a Bachelor of Applied Science degree that students can begin to take courses toward in the winter of 2015. Associate degrees and certificates in Culinary Arts are still available. If you want additional information please contact Eric Gackenbach, Coordinator of Culinary Arts and Hotel Restaurant Management at (313) 317-1572 or epgackenbach@hfcc.edu or schedule an appointment with a counselor at (313) 845-9611.

The Counseling Office is located in the Student Success Center (Building A). Another change is that current students now will be seen only in the counseling office as opposed to the Welcome Center. As noted prior, the Counseling Office is located in the Student Success Center (Building A). A current student is a student who has enrolled in courses. Transfer students and guest students will also be seen at the Counseling Office. Only newly admitted students are seen in Advising at the Welcome Center. A newly admitted student is a student who has never attended the college and has never registered for courses. The purpose of the changes is to better assist students by assuring services are provided in a seamless manner.

Pre-pharmacy students are to see Theresa Mozug, who can be reached at (313) 317-6548 or tmozug@hfcc.edu. Ms. Mozug’s office is located in Health Careers Education Center, H-133j.

The only exceptions for continuing students to be seen in advising at the Welcome Center are health occupations and Nursing students. Current health occupations students will continue to be seen by Tara Jarois while Lorraine Paffenroth will continue to see nursing students.

There are many good things coming! Again, it is a great time to be part of the Henry Ford community.

Wendie Lee-Jenkins is a counselor and coordinates the Advising Office in the Welcome Center.

The Counseling Office is open Monday to Thursday, 8:00 am to 6:30 pm, Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Please call (313) 845-9611 to schedule an appointment.
