 The Heartland Adult Education department helps adult
students without a high school degree or in need of English language
skills to move forward academically.
The Adult Education Dean’s primary responsibilities include program
compliance, grant writing, staff supervision and evaluation, program
development and class scheduling, as well as addressing student
conduct issues.
Sanborn has worked in an administrative role in the HCC Adult
Education department since 2015, most recently serving as Associate
Dean and Interim Dean. She first joined the College in 2008 as an
English as a Second Language Instructor. Sanborn holds a Master of
Arts degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Kyiv National
University.
Most Heartland Adult Education classes are free to students.
Programs include GED/High School Equivalency, Functional English as
a Second language (FESL), Academic English Language (AELP), and the
Complete and Connect Program, which works in partnership with Career
Link, a non-profit organization that connects individuals with
employment opportunities through training and services.

Last year Heartland also launched
the “Level Up” program designed to create a pathway for Adult
Education students to work on obtaining their High School
Equivalency (GED) or English as a Second Language (ESL) skills
while also working towards a certificate in a short-term
program. These certificates can lead directly into the workforce
or into further academic pursuits. Students can study in fields
like digital media, healthcare, business technology, information
technology, and industrial technology.
