Letter From The President

Lewis and Clark has experienced tremendous success throughout its more than four decades, but I can’t remember a year that brought more institutional transformation and momentous achievements than 2013. Each year, we tout the noteworthy accomplishments that our faculty, staff, students, donors and community supporters help us achieve. This year’s annual report is no different in terms of the great news we are sharing with you. However, I think you’ll agree this year’s headlines continue to advance the institution and our impact in ways that we have never before experienced. Here are just a few of the achievements we are proud to share with you from 2013: • Achieved maximum accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission, as well as maximum accreditation for our Occupational Therapy Assistant and Process Operations Technology programs • Launched the Mannie Jackson Endowment and Center for the Humanities and quickly surpassed the first $1 million in fundraising • Earned a $23.8 million TAACCCT grant through the Department of Labor, leading a nine-community college consortium to train displaced workers in Transportation, Distribution and Logistics along the Mississippi River corridor • Partnered with the Houston Area Safety Council to offer their premier safety training to the workforce in our region • Completed the second phase of the Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station, expanding our river research capabilities • Received an updated Economic Impact Study that shows L&C is a good investment for students, taxpayers and the state – the study revealed L&C is adding 4.6 percent to the Gross Regional Product (a 6.4 percent return for taxpayers) • Awarded more than $700,000 in scholarships to

students in 2013 – the Foundation’s continued efforts will only increase that number for years to come • Developed a new Medical Assisting program, as well as new certificates in Certified Nurse Assistant II, Network Hardware Technician, Installer/Technician Journeyman and coming soon – Tractor/Trailer Driver Training • Graduated more than 850 individuals • Hosted our 16th Annual USTA Men’s Futures Tennis Tournament • Sent both our men’s and women’s tennis teams and our men’s soccer team to National Tournaments • Presented a 40-year retrospective of renowned artist Winifred Godfrey’s paintings in the Hatheway Art Gallery • Welcomed back graduates of Monticello College for an all-class reunion on the historic Godfrey campus • Became the only community college to receive the Governor’s Sustainability Award for our ongoing green initiatives • Officially dedicated the Monticello Sculpture Gardens on the Godfrey Campus, and installed the sculpture “Crazy Horse” by Peter Voulkos, with support from donors Terry and Judy Cross and the Lewis and Clark Foundation • Welcomed numerous new scholarships and endowments through the Foundation and increased individual giving 41 percent from 2012 Just making this list was a rewarding and profound process – knowing that each and every accomplishment listed is supporting our ongoing mission: to empower people. We have made remarkable strides this year, and over the past couple of years have developed an incredible momentum and entrepreneurial spirit that continues to help us drive our mission in unique and innovative ways. We share numerous stories with you throughout the year via our website, social media channels, Discover publication and our media outlets. Just in case you missed any of these headlines from 2013, I submit to you our Annual Report. Thank you for your tremendous support. We are looking forward to the headlines in 2014.

OUR MISSION...

To empower people by raising aspirations and fostering achievement through dynamic, compassionate and responsible learning experiences.

Study Finds L&C a Positive Economic Impact for Community Imagine going to a bank and opening a savings account, and for every $1 you put into it, you earn $7 in return. A savings account with a nearly 30 percent rate of return may sound farfetched, however, a 2013 economic impact study of L&C and its graduates shows that investing in a degree from Lewis and Clark is just like opening that dream savings account.

“When you consider the average cost for full-time enrollment at L&C for one year is approximately $3,000, you can see why the investment a student makes when choosing to attend L&C can be paid back within their first year of employment after graduation,” - L&C President Dale Chapman

The report, released by Economic Modeling Specialists International (EMSI), demonstrates that in addition to being an economic driver for the region, Lewis and Clark is also an economic driver for its students. It states that L&C graduates can expect to earn on average $7,100 more each year than someone with a high school diploma or equivalent – equating to more than $290,000 in higher income over a working lifetime.

L&C Earns Maximum Accreditation from Higher Learning Commission Following a comprehensive self-study process and a site visit from the Higher Learning Commission’s six-member reaccreditation team in March 2013, Lewis and Clark Community College earned the maximum 10-year accreditation, with no follow up action required. “Lewis and Clark Community College is an impressive institution which has the structures, practices, financial resources, employees, and culture in place to effectively serve its students and the community,” the HLC accreditation team, comprised of academic leaders from community colleges from across the country, wrote in its final report. In particular, the college was recognized for its ability to thrive in a negative economic environment. “We are very happy with the outcome of this accreditation site visit. Our campus community worked hard for more than two years as we prepared for this site visit from our regional accrediting association. Our students and the communities we serve should view this as a higher education seal of academic and institutional excellence,” said Vice President of Academic Affairs Linda Chapman. The college’s next reaccreditation process is set for 2022-2023.

Program Accreditations • In 2013, the Occupational Therapy Assistant program earned the maximum 10-year reaccreditation from the Accreditation Council for Occupation Therapy Education (ACOTE). • In the spring, Lewis and Clark’s Process Operations Technology program went from a regionally accredited program to a nationally accredited one, when L&C became one of only 18 nationally accredited “endorsed colleges” through the North American Process Technology Alliance (NAPTA). “We are also the first college, of only 18 endorsed schools across the country, located in the Midwest,” said Program Coordinator Mike Morgan. www.lc.edu - 9


Award Winning Faculty and Staff To ensure that Lewis and Clark students are getting the most out of their education, the college makes hiring quality faculty and staff a high priority.

L&C Hosts All-Class Monticello Reunion

Student and Faculty Art Exhibits 2013

Finalists in the ninth annual Lewis and Clark Community College Student Art Exhibit were (from left): Jeanie Stephens, Andrew Pilla, Kara Hecker (posed with her Best of Show painting), Trudy Bonacorsi and Connie Terry. The art exhibit, featuring original student artwork such as photographs, paintings, ceramics, sculptures, animations and web and graphic design projects, was on display in the newly renovated Hatheway Cultural Center Art Gallery from April 19-May 10.

Lewis and Clark welcomed graduates of Monticello College for a reunion in 2013, drawing alumnae representing graduating classes between 1944 and 1971 to their alma mater’s former campus on Sept. 15. The alumnae visited, toured campus, got a sneak preview of the Winifred Godfrey art exhibit, and reminisced over Monticello artifacts recovered from the Caldwell Hall cornerstone in 2012. Monticello College was founded by Capt. Benjamin Godfrey in 1838. An advocate for

women’s education, the village’s namesake is often quoted as saying, “If you educate a man, you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” “The Monti alum reunion was just superb,” said Linda Nevlin, alumna and executive director of the Monticello College Foundation. “There was a wonderful atmosphere of camaraderie and joyfulness in a common sharing of happy memories of school days at Monticello, as well as delight in the beautiful campus of today.”

This year’s Art Faculty Exhibiton ran from May 10-June 29 at the Jacoby Arts Center. Pictured is a piece by Adjunct Art Faculty member Jason Bly called “Ford Troubleshooter.” www.lc.edu - 13

Consortium Led by L&C Receives $23.8 Million Department of Labor Grant The U.S. Department of Labor announced in September that the Mississippi River Transportation, Distribution and Logistics Consortium (MRTDL), led by Lewis and Clark, will receive $23.8 million in grant funds for the nine community colleges located in eight states along the Mississippi River Region. As the lead of the grant, Lewis and Clark will receive $4.9 million. The MRTDL consortium member colleges are committed to advancing economic development in the Mississippi River region, from the headwaters to the Gulf, and are dedicated to the placement of dislocated and other workers in high-wage, high-skill occupations in the vital transportation, distribution and logistics (TDL) and related industry sectors. The grant comes through the Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Community College and Careering Training grant program, a multi-year nearly $2 billion initiative to expand targeted training programs for unemployed workers, especially those impacted by foreign trade. Lewis and Clark will utilize its funding to expand workforce training programs including: Welding, Auto Tech (Hybrid-Electric); Process Operations Technology; Logistics Technician, Auto Tech (Conventional), Diesel Mechanics, Truck/Tractor Trailer Drivers and Production Technician.

The department also held its first GED to College Fair in 2013. The Fair highlighted programs designed to help those without a high school diploma earn college credit while obtaining their GEDs. Project Counselor Michael Dye discusses the Bridge to Technical Fields program with a potential student during the 2013 GED to College Fair.

L&C’s Adult Education program was one of three programs in Illinois to be involved in a teacher effectiveness field test, which will help create mentoring and training programs for all Adult Education teachers. Training for the new GED test that began in January of 2014 was also held throughout 2013.

Highway Construction Training The sixth and seventh Highway Careers Construction Training Program cohorts began in 2013. They have helped renovate L&C’s Community Learning Center by pouring concrete sidewalks, repairing stairs and installing handrails. Both YouthBuild and HCCTP began utilizing the newly constructed 5,000 square-foot annex at the Community Learning Center as a construction lab in 2013. The annex features a separate

location for carpentry and a metal shop where welding, grinding and torch cutting take place. A cohort of seven students also worked with Luke Jumper’s Architectural students to design and construct an outdoor pavilion from repurposed wood that was used to build the retrospective exhibit, “Winifred Godfrey: 40 Years of Painting.” The cohort was also the

first group to earn the ACT Work Keys National Career Readiness Certificate. Testing for the certificate is composed of three parts: locating information, reading for information and applied math. The certification is a nationally recognized credential that is highly regarded by the Carpenters and other trades. www.lc.edu - 23


L&C Clinics Serve More Than 100,000 Patients The clinic has provided more than 108,000 client encounters since 2007, focusing on primary care, health education and prevention. It also offers expanded services that are not provided by other existing regional clinics. The L&C Family Health Clinic has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2008 Illinois Rural Health Association Special Exemplary Project Award, the 2009 Innovation Award from the Illinois Council of Community Colleges and the 2010 MetLife Innovation Award.

The Lewis and Clark Family Health Clinic, a nurse managed center, is the only primary care clinic operated by a community college in the nation. The clinic offers primary care through services offered by nurse practitioners, dental hygienists and other healthcare professionals on the college faculty to the community, regardless of need. The clinic is unique because of the way it combines academic programming with the offering of low cost primary care, preventive healthcare and health education.

The Paul B. Hanks Dental Hygiene Clinic served 690 patients in 2013 and has served approximately 8,500 patients since opening in 2002. The dental clinic also serves as a part of the Student Success Center by helping students in need of pre-clinical and clinical enhancement and tutoring. In 2013, more than 40 students utilized this service. The Fifth Annual Clean and Screen, which served more than 50 children with dental education and free preventive dental care, in collaboration with the Nursing program and the OTA program, was also held in the dental clinic in 2013.

Health and Wellness Committee Forms at L&C Lewis and Clark’s Interprofessional Collaboration Committee for Wellness (ICCW) was created to identify, promote and provide wellness opportunities through education, activities, programs, resources and lifestyle options. The committee’s mission is to engage, enrich and empower the L&C community in wellness through interprofessional collaborative practice, activities and education. The ICCW launched the first of many wellness initiatives for L&C faculty and staff in the fall of 2013. These programs included the Biggest Loser Competition, Walking Groups (now known as Wellness in Motion), Brown Bag lunches with a wellness focus, weekly online health tips posted in the L&C Portal (“healthy bytes”) and a healthy cooking class held off campus. So far, the committee’s initiatives have been very successful, and new cohorts of both the Biggest Loser Competition and Wellness in Motion began in January 2014. In the future, the ICCW hopes to expand its programs to include students and eventually the greater community.

L&C Initiates Innovative Practice Model at Family Health Clinic L&C Dean of Health Sciences Donna Meyer and Dr. Poonam Jain, of Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, were one of seven interprofessional teams, the only team representing a community college, to receive the Oral-Systemic Health Curricular Innovation Development Award in 2013. 24 - 2013 Annual Report

The funds from the award are helping L&C initiate the first step toward an innovative interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) at the Family Health Clinic, in collaboration with the SIU School of Dental Medicine. The goal of the IPCP is to integrate primary healthcare with a focus on nursing and dental care.

Dr. Poonam Jain, practicing dentist from Staunton and director of the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine’ s Community and Preventive Dentistry Program, gives a presentation to Lewis and Clark nursing students about the importance of dental care to overall health care of patients of all ages.

L&C Earns Second Governor’s Sustainability Award L&C was the only community college to be honored with the 2013 Governor’s Sustainability Award, presented by the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) Oct. 29 in Peoria. “Lewis and Clark considers itself a regional and statewide leader in the Sustainability movement,” said L&C Director of Sustainability Nate Keener. “We are proud to be the only Illinois community college to earn the 2013 Governor’s Sustainability Award and will continue to vigorously pursue a more sustainable future. We will continue to work with students, campus staff and industry and community partners to achieve our shared and worthwhile goals.”

L&C Adds 75 New Recycling Bins, Thanks to Alcoa Foundation The Alcoa Foundation partnered with national nonprofit Keep America Beautiful and the College & University Recycling Coalition to provide 75 new

recycling bins at Lewis and Clark. L&C was one of 35 colleges and universities to receive a portion of more than 11,500 recycling bins.


L&C Collaborating with Ameren to House One of the Nation’s First Alternative Energy Fuel Cells Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman announced in 2013 that the college is the recipient of one of the nation’s first alternative energy, state-of-the-art fuel cells, to be installed on the Godfrey campus in early April 2014. The college was one of three Midwest schools, including the Missouri University of Science and Technology and Kentucky, to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Ameren in 2013 for the purpose of installing and operating a fuel cell. “Lewis and Clark will be one of the first sites in the Midwest to access this new technology, and we are honored that Ameren has selected our campus for this collaborative effort,” Chapman said. A fuel cell is a device that generates electricity from natural gas by a chemical reaction, which produces an electrical current that can be directed outside the cell to do work, such as powering an electric motor or illuminating a light bulb or a city. L&C’s fuel cell will generate 5kw power, provide a teaching opportunity for L&C faculty in an important alternative energy technology, offer Ameren a fuel cell demonstration site for its strategic partners and provide data on fuel cell technology associated with dashboard systems for both Ameren and L&C’s Sustainability program master plan. The fuel cell will be located outside the Hatheway Cultural Center in a gated area, and the waste heat will heat the Olympic-sized swimming pool inside the building. If fuel cells become more commercially viable, consumers could generate their own electricity at their homes and businesses, leading to savings on energy bills, according to Ameren.com.

In addition, the energy produced by the cells is much more sustainable than fossil fuels, because they produce less carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas. “Not only will Lewis and Clark be reducing our grid costs and producing energy, but we will also be working with Ameren and their strategic partners to better understand and research the benefits of fuel cell technology and how this new technology can help the college achieve its sustainability goals,” Chapman said. “Lewis and Clark has been a leader in sustainability efforts, and having this innovative new fuel cell technology will continue to place us in the forefront of alternative energy initiatives,” said L&C Dean of Math, Science and Technology Sue Czerwinski. “Additionally, our environmental science and pre-engineering students will have exposure to the latest technologies available, and we are thrilled to offer them these unique learning experiences.” Ameren donated the $80,000 fuel cell, along with the $25,000 cost for installation. www.lc.edu - 27

2013 Summer Garden Show featured a ‘Menagerie in Bloom’ A fanciful menagerie of colorful blossoms and a special selection of plantings in creature form added something new to Lewis and Clark’s Monticello Sculpture Gardens in 2013. “With the guidance of our landscape architects Terra Design, we have chosen a variety of bedding plant favorites whose plant characteristics evoke the images of creatures in our animal kingdom, both real and imagined,” said Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman. “The special plantings on display this summer are each signified with an interpretive panel, which feature an illustration of the creature for which the plant is named.” The illustrations, original creations by Lewis and Clark Professor Emeritus Patrick Dailey, were featured on interpretive panels paired with plantings that included black dragons, rosy-cheeked angels, GLORIOUS yellow cockscomb, blackbirds and more. The panels also featured individual QR codes, for users with smart phones to scan for more information.

Prepare to BEE-Dazzled in Summer 2014 L&C’s Monticello Sculpture Gardens will soon be a buzz with Bee-Dazzled, the 2014 summer garden show featuring bee-attracting plants. The outdoor flower display will showcase colorful blossoms, which will provide food for docile, yet hard-working, native pollinators. Stunning 10-foot tall flowering vine columns dripping with dutchman’s pipe, passion vine, morning glory and flame honeysuckle will spring from the landscape. Vine tunnels laden with buzzing gourd blossoms in the spring will transform into a spectacular living gourd show in the summer. A sunflower labyrinth will provide cheerful color and excitement on campus in late summer. Local school children will contribute their creativity and energy as they make artistic native bee boxes, bee-themed stepping-stones and beehives.

Phase II of Field Station Construction Completed

Aquatic mesocosms used for river research were completed and filled with water from the Mississpppi river at the NGRREC field station in the fall of 2013.

Phase II of construction on The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center’s Field Station was completed in 2013, adding a conference room and aquatic mesocosms for river research. The mesocosms consist of three 50-foot by 6-foot concrete raceways, which can each be split into two channels and are capable of pumping more than three million gallons of water to the system per day, while keeping its plankton community, sediment and nutrients intact. The water comes from the Mississippi River via a pump located near the Dynegy Wood River Power Station, which takes in 350 million gallons of river water each day for cooling purposes. Ultimately, the information gained from research in these mesocosms will help state and federal decision makers develop better river management strategies.

Visit www.ngrrec.org to learn more.

Zooplankton Studied in Aquatic Mesocosms Scientists were able to collect plankton samples from several gallons of water in the mesocosms and condense it to a few ounces, which they studied under a microscope. “We saw several species of microscopic plants and animals, and at first glance the diversity of species appears to be similar to what we find naturally in the Mississippi River, and that’s important because we would never be able to recreate that natural community in our lab,” said Lori Gittinger, an NGRREC aquatic ecologist. 30 - 2013 Annual Report

Field Station Lobby Open for Guided Tours Every Friday The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center’s Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station, located near the confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois rivers at One Confluence Way in East Alton by the Melvin Price Locks and Dam, is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Guests can explore an interactive exhibit, sustainability touch screens and the green features of the Field Station, including a vegetative roof, educational dragonfly pond and new mesocosms. Free, guided tours are given every Friday at 11:30 a.m.

THE FOUNDATION www.lc.edu - 33


Letter From The Foundation President

Dear Champions and Game-Changers, From the bottom of the hearts of Lewis and Clark’s 20,000 plus students, thank you for your unwavering support. In fact, “unwavering” is not the best term to use since your donations increased 41 percent in 2013! I hope that you take a minute to celebrate this achievement. It is all because of you. As I celebrate your philanthropy, I must pause and wonder: Why are we so deeply invested in Lewis and Clark Community College? It’s because L&C is Life Changing. We know this because Lewis and Clark has changed a life in each one of our families. We know this because of the stories of student achievement that we read in the newspapers. We know this because of the statistics we read in Discover magazine (my latest favorite being the $716,566 awarded in scholarships in 2013). When I was new to this board, I was amazed by the college’s priorities and its ability to achieve such high aspirations. I wondered if I would ever learn it all and be able to understand why we are doing all of these different projects. Three years later, I’m still learning… but I realize that what matters most is embracing and sharing the College’s purpose…to empower people and communities. Once I internalized this, an understanding of our goals fell into place. This took time and discussion, so I encourage you to ask a lot of questions when you visit with the Director of Development of the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation. The Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation is a fundraising organization on a mission to support the college. When a donor wanted to send a student to college through a scholarship, the Foundation was there to help make the connection. When the community wanted an exhibit to tell the story of Rocky Fork, the Foundation was there to help fund the project. When the Board of Trustees approved the addition of a career program, the Foundation was there to help with start-up funding. When the State of Illinois approved a new building on campus, the Foundation was there to help raise private matching funds for the project. And when tuition, fees and taxes fall short of actual expenses, the Foundation is there to bridge the gap and keep costs down for our students and taxpayers. Another fact that shows how life changing L&C can be is this: 746 people earned associate degrees last year. According to the U.S. Department of Education, this is 60 percent more than the median (450 graduates) of the comparison group that they put us in. That means we have an excellent completion rate and these educated students go on to become productive citizens. Your philanthropy has a direct impact on students, your family, me and the lives of 220,000 others living in Lewis and Clark’s seven-county district. Thank you, again, for your generous support. Sincerely,

Jane Saale 2013 President, Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation 34 - 2013 Annual Report

Godfrey Womens Club Endows Scholarship During 17 Years of Giving Small but mighty. That’s an accurate description of the Godfrey Women’s Club. This group of 60 women is on a mission to improve the lives of people living in Godfrey, Ill. Named after Benjamin Godfrey, the village boasts Lewis and Clark Community College, bluff-edged neighborhoods, incredible parks and recreation areas, a fascinating history, and hard-working people with the very best in Midwestern values. When people like that from a place like this put their minds to achieving a goal, there is no stopping them. Such is the case with the Godfrey Women’s Club. In November 1997, the club donated $1,000 to the Foundation to support scholarships. Mary Ann Landreth and Marsha 42 - 2013 Annual Report

Certa were the very first scholarship recipients. “Thank you for your vote of confidence,” said Mary Ann in a letter to the club. “It means a lot to me, not only financially, but spiritually as well.” Funds for the scholarship have been raised through the club’s annual Carousel event, a bazaar in the fall that attracts more than 400 people. Later, the club set its sights higher, and decided to not only fund an annual scholarship, but build a $20,000 endowment as well. That goal was reached in 2013, funds were matched, and a new endowed scholarship was born. Let’s celebrate this amazing impact on students!

Bruker Family Endows Scholarship in Memory of L&C Faculty Member When Jane K. Bruker passed away in December 2010, the entire college campus mourned with her family. A faculty member for three years, and then the director of the Nursing program, Jane made a huge impact on her students and peers. “She inspired individuals to create change. She made you feel that your words, ideas, and actions would create the change. She challenged you in her own special way,” said Donna Meyer, a longtime friend and dean of Health Sciences. “Some people can tell you that you are intelligent and capable, but Jane, by her actions, made you believe it.” In memory of Jane, the LC Board of Trustees established a scholarship in her name. Her husband and seven children made a commitment to make her legacy permanent. Three years and 120 gifts later, the Bruker family honored her memory by reaching their goal of saving $20,000 to endow the Jane K. Bruker Memorial Scholarship for Nursing. We applaud this family for their vision and dedication.

Robert and Trula Mae O’Neil Strengthen Endowed Nursing Scholarship Through Estate Planning On Aug. 1, 2009, Trula Mae O’Neil made a big step toward improving local healthcare. She endowed a scholarship for Nursing students at Lewis and Clark. On Dec. 27, 2013, that step became a giant leap when her estate issued a six-figure check to the L&C Foundation. “It is our sincere hope,” wrote Karen Rodgers, Mrs. O’Neil’s niece and trustee of her estate, that “This bequest will aid to strengthen and further your charitable purpose.” Thank you, Mrs. Rodgers, it certainly will! Jamie McGarvey was the first nursing student to receive the scholarship. Her thank you letter to Mrs. O’Neil illustrates how empowering our scholarships can be. Mrs. O’Neil passed away on Feb. 27, 2013, leaving a legacy that will change lives forever.
