From the Curriculum Director
Although members of the curriculum development department are not truly anonymous— after all, their names and photos appear in the college's catalog—they rarely have direct contact with students. However, their work affects everyone who opens a study guide or takes a test. This column introduces Rebecca Haack, Program Editor, and Assistant Editor Aimee Lanier, who are responsible for the tone and appearance of all CCNH study guides.
Rebecca earned her bachelor's degree in English (with minors in philosophy and journalism) from Auburn University, where she knew and worked with an herbalist. Her path toward CCNH included working as copy editor for a technical journal, a medical magazine, and finally an advertising agency, before gaining experience in the printing industry. Since coming to CCNH, she has almost completed an N.D. degree. Outside the office, Rebecca enjoys gardening, reading, and gathering with friends.
Aimee, who recently finished an N.D. program, received her bachelor's degree in American Studies from the University of Alabama. She then worked for a group of architects whose office was in the same building as Clayton College. When it came time for a change, good advice from another office neighbor led her to CCNH. Aimee's outside interests involve classic cars. Active in a local club, she takes her '62 Impala to shows, one of which she organizes. She is also writer, photographer and publisher of her club newsletter.
When asked how natural health affects her life away from work, Rebecca said, "I'm interested in nutrition, and friends ask me for health advice... I enjoy helping them to become healthier. I'm more aware of how nutrition affects every aspect of life— it's not just fuel to get through the day." In response to the same question, Aimee said, "I keep shelves of natural health books on hand at home that I reference all the time. I have an herb garden that I use mainly for cooking right now, but would like to expand to medicinal herbs."
Practicing what is presented at CCNH does not always mean becoming a natural health professional. Rebecca and Aimee, like many of our students, have used this information to improve their daily lives and help themselves, their families and friends.
