College to study new internship
ARNOLD - The Entrepreneurial Studies Institute at Anne Arundel Community College will use a $5,000 grant to study the feasibility of developing an internship program.

The ESI project was one of six chosen nationwide by The Institute for Community College Development, a partnership between the State University of New York and Cornell University. The community college plans to use the results of the study to set up an entrepreneurial internship program.

ESI Director Carlene Cassidy said the impending economic growth of Anne Arundel County and its surrounding region due to the expansion of Fort Meade and the strength of the economies of Baltimore and Washington, D.C., make developing a successful internship program in entrepreneurship imperative.
"This grant helps us study how an internship can benefit AACC, its students and the surrounding business community," said Ms. Cassidy, an assistant professor of business management at the college and the project leader.
New editor at Maryland Gazette
GLEN BURNIE - Rick Hutzell, a 22-year newspaper veteran, has been named editor of the Maryland Gazette by Tom Marquardt, executive editor of Capital-Gazette Newspapers.
Mr. Hutzell, 48, will replace Bob Mosier who accepted a position as public information officer for Anne Arundel County Public Schools.
Mr. Hutzell has been an employee at The Capital for 19 years, most recently as an assistant city editor and business editor of the 47,000-circulation daily in Annapolis. In those capacities he supervised reporters, edited copy and managed the newspaper's business section.
In making the appointment, Mr. Marquardt said, "I am confident that Rick will continue the Maryland Gazette's tradition of providing north county with the best local news coverage. He understands newspapers and, most importantly, has a depth of knowledge of the county."
Prior to his arrival at The Capital in 1987, he was managing editor of the Daily Banner, a daily newspaper in Cambridge on the Eastern Shore. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia at Wise in 1980 and then graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1983 with a master's degree in communications.
Mr. Hutzell is a native of Ocean City and currently lives in Annapolis with his wife, Chara, and their children, Lillian and Evan.
