Community College of Philadelphia Launches 2nd Issue of Pathways Magazine Featuring CBS 3 President Michael Colleran and CBS 3 Meteorologist Kathy Orr

PHILADELPHIA, November 2, 2007 - Michael Colleran, president and general manager of CBS 3 and The CW Philly 57, and CBS 3 Meteorologist Kathy Orr, will help launch the second issue of the Community College of Philadelphia Foundation's Pathways magazine at a breakfast at 8:30 a.m., Friday, November 9, at the CBS 3/CW studios at 1555 Hamilton Street.

Pathways spotlights the Philadelphia business community and business leaders, and highlights how the College prepares students for various professions. It is published twice a year and focuses on career-related topics.

The second issue of Pathways is devoted to emerging technologies. The cover story features interviews with Colleran and Orr about how technology has made the television station’s new location, across the street from the College, state of the art, and what role technology now plays in meteorology as well as in today’s workplace.

CBS 3 and The CW Philly’s 120,000-square-foot facility is one of the first entirely high definition news operations in the country, housing more than 300 employees of the two television stations. It includes two television studios, each with its own control room; a state-of-the-art master control room; an operations center capable of receiving hundreds of satellite feeds each day and a sixth-floor weather deck for live outdoor weather reports.

Other articles in the magazine showcase how the College infuses technology across its curriculum in programs, such as nanotechnology, biomedical technician training, sound recording and music technology, computer forensics and geographical information systems.
