[Wctcca] HD Courses and Career Pathways Question

[Christine Sullivan]

Nice to hear from you Belle!

I am looping Deanna into this conversation as she currently is the
Department Chair for the Human Development/Human Services etc. dept.  I
think your question is good in and of itself and as a cautionary tale as
well.  I will let Deanna respond as I don't think we have a firm Pathway
placement right now but that could be on the horizon.  I am also curious
where BCC is placing other courses that ideally cross pathways?

Best wishes to you in these challenging times.....

Christine
