2016 Annual Report
From the President When Governor Jay Nixon helped dedicate the new Business and Industry Center in 2016, he touted East Central College and our reputation for excellence. It’s a reputation we’ve worked hard at since our inception in 1968, and it’s a reputation that we’ll never stop building upon. Excellence is not just one of ECC’s core values – it’s a guiding principle for our students, faculty and staff. It motivates us. It inspires us. It fosters innovation and progress. As I reflect on 2016, I find examples of excellence around every corner. I see it in our faculty and staff who work tirelessly every day. They embody dignity and integrity in everything they do – committing to continuous quality improvement each day. I see it in our students, each with different stories to tell, challenges to overcome and plans for the future. Some are looking down the road to their next university experience. Others are balancing full-time work and families with coursework. Even after they leave ECC, I see it in our alumni. They are leaders in their communities, and they work to better the lives of the people around them. As East Central College moves forward, it is excellence that will lead the way. We will strive to build on the progress we have already made, and be open to what lies in store for us in the future. It continues to be an honor serving as the president of such a great institution. Thank you for being a part of East Central College. Sincerely,
President

Students Sarah Hennecke and Meghan Brown were named to the Phi Theta Kappa Second All-Missouri Academic Team, an honor bestowed on the state’s top community college students. Members of the All-Missouri Academic Team are selected based on the extent to which they meet the definition of the word “scholar,” which Phi Theta Kappa defines as one who excels in the classroom, has the intellectual curiosity to pursue an academic career and cultural enrichment outside the traditional classroom, shows evidence of substantial development of talents in academics and technical education and has demonstrated an ability to share this development with others. Students from each of Missouri’s 24 Phi Theta Kappa chapters apply to be on the All-Missouri Academic Team; only 40 students are selected each year.
Dr. Jon Bauer began his term as chair of the Missouri Community College Association in January. In the post, Dr. Bauer is providing leadership for the association as it represents community college interests across the state. Among these interests are the priorities outlined in the association’s state legislative agenda—equity funding for community colleges, increased funding for all of Missouri’s public colleges and universities, funding for the A+ scholarship program and support for workforce training. The Missouri Community College Association is a statewide organization through which Missouri’s community colleges work together to advance common agendas. MCCA provides advocacy, education, information and networking opportunities in service of the state’s 5,700 community college faculty, staff, administrators and trustees.

College Honors Karen Weida East Central College honored its former registrar Karen Wieda, the longest serving employee in the 48 year history of the college, by naming the Student Service Center on the Union campus in her honor. The Karen Sue Wieda Student Service Center was dedicated Saturday, May 7. Dr. Terry Zanin, a retired ECC administrator who worked with Wieda for many years, was the featured speaker. Wieda started working at the college in 1969 before the first classes were held. Her first position was faculty secretary, but she was soon promoted to registrar – the job she held until her retirement in June 2013. Her 44 years of service is the longest tenure of any ECC employee.

As registrar, she took innovative steps to improve student services. In 2006, she was recognized by the Missouri Community College Association with the Technology Innovation Award for adopting an electronic document imaging system. Wieda later devoted many hours to converting student services to the one-stop model now in place. The Student Service Center was designed to facilitate this innovative model of service. “Through her tireless dedication and positive spirit, thousands of students benefitted from the education they received and the credentials they earned,” stated Dr. Jon Bauer. “She led by example through her quiet grace, poise and vast knowledge. Many employees hired and mentored by Karen followed her example and served the college for many years.”

Hansen Hall Renovations Begin Renovation of the third and fourth levels of Hansen Hall began in July 2016. The project is being funded through the $1.8 million capital improvement bond ECC received from the State of Missouri in 2014. The project is expected to be completed by June 2017. Dr. Bauer noted the renovation enhances safety and security by providing better emergency lighting and security cameras. “By design, cost savings will be introduced into the environment through the use of occupancy sensors and green technologies,” Bauer said. The renovation includes demolition work and subsequent upgrades to computer information systems, classrooms and labs, enhancement of the HVAC and electrical/ data infrastructure, and replacement of emergency lighting infrastructure. Flooring, ceilings, and paint will be refreshed in the hallways and in computer labs and nine classrooms on both levels. Lighting will also be refurbished in both hallways.

ECC Excited about A+ Program Expansion
2016 Annual Report
ECC Athletic Department Claims Conference Academic Award East Central College set a record in 2016, winning the Missouri Community College Athletic Conference Harold Oetting Academic All Sports Award for an unprecedented seventh consecutive year. Since the 2009-10 academic year, the ECC Athletic Department has held the highest overall GPA among conference schools. Twelve student athletes were also recipients of NJCAA Academic Student-Athlete Awards for their exceptional classroom performances with GPAs of 3.6 or better. Kayla Borcherding and Sarah Borgerding received the Pinnacle Award for Academic Excellence for achieving a 4.0 grade point average. Chelsea Delay, Dayla Gruenloh, Eden Henry and Karissa Hoffman earned Superior Academic Achievement Awards for overall GPAs of 3.80-3.99. Taylor Davis, Virginia Ward, Kayla Kelly, Zeke Little, Umoh Ufot and Monica Kelley were recognized for Exemplary Academic Achievement for achieving GPAs of 3.60-3.79. Dayla Gruenloh, center infielder for the East Central College softball Falcons the past two seasons, was named the 2015-2016 Scholar Athlete at ECC.
East Central College is excited about the potential to see more students in the future due to an expansion of the state’s A+ program. Senate Bill 638 became law in August, and it allows any nonpublic Missouri high school to apply to the State Board of Education to be certified as an A+ School, if that school meets the same requirements that apply to public high schools. The A+ scholarship program enables qualified students to attend one of the state’s public community colleges by covering tuition costs for two years. More than 500 students utilized A+ funding to cover their tuition and general fees during the 2015-2016 school year at ECC.

Instructor Receives Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award Dr. Patsy Watts has been teaching English since 1983. It’s a subject she is deeply passionate about. “I embrace the challenges of this discipline because it is the foundation of all other academic endeavors. That is, a student’s ability to read and write well will help ensure success in other courses. It is exciting to be a part of something so important,” Watts said. When she became an instructor at East Central College in 2006, she brought a philosophy. “A good college instructor is one who cares enough about students’ futures to stay current in the discipline and help students reach beyond quick and easy solutions to complex problems,” she explained.

Watts practices what she preaches, and she was acknowledged for it in November. Each year, the Emerson Excellence in Teaching Awards program recognizes more than 100 educators in the St. Louis metropolitan area who are examples of excellence in their field – including Watts. “I am grateful to my colleagues,” said Watts, who spends a majority of her time at the ECC campus in Rolla, “who I see working so hard every day.

Foundation Awards Mini-Grants
The event featured the eclectic music of Jonesy, Martin and Stan. With around 200 people in attendance, the “Party at the Mule” was a fabulous summer evening of food, drinks and entertainment. The Patrons of the Arts program directly benefits the art, theater and music departments by providing monetary support for programming, equipment and scholarships. The Patrons program has become the community cultural centerpiece for showcasing both local and nationally-known artists and musicians.
Administered by the Foundation, The Albert C. Buescher Memorial provided five grants to scholastic departments and programs on campus in 2016. The ECC Social Justice Committee used its grant toward the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service initiative. Psychology instructor Dr. Wendy Pecka used her grant to help break through the stigma surrounding mental health issues and change the conversation to one of hope and resiliency.
Employees Rally for Emergency Fund
Adult Education and Literature (AEL) Director Alice Whalen will use her grant will help provide curriculum for AEL’s growing English Language Acquisition Program.
The Foundation raised more than $2500 for an emergency fund created to assist East Central College employees and students in times of need.
Art Director Adam Watkins will travel overseas to London with art students to tour museums and galleries with his grant.
The idea started due to the 2016 flood and the impact it had on both our students and staff. The college family wanted to do something to help, so an empty bowls fundraiser was held with some of the proceeds going to this new fund.
At the East Central College-Rolla campus, the library will expand its book collection. Their grant will help add nearly 80 books in the subjects of history, social science,
