What I Did On My

Summer Vacation

Briana Leon, Scotland Maxwell McCarty, Intern Iowa Heritage Foundation

No doubt, the students at Eastern

Iowa Community Colleges are an active bunch. But the adrenaline seems to amp up even more in the summer.

Scott Community College’s TRIO Program put a little twist on the “What I did on my summer vacation” assignments we all received in our school days by asking current and previous students to send photos of what they did during break. Kind of a summer selfie report.

“We were overwhelmed at the amazing 4

www.eicc.edu/tccmagazine

things our students were doing,” said TRIO Program Director Dave Carson. “I was a little envious of all their adventures and at the same time very proud of what they are accomplishing.”

Cassandra Cruz and Brittni Perkins used the summer to continue their education. Both completed their Certified Nursing Assistant certification and are transferring to St. Ambrose University to earn their Bachelor’s in Science in Nursing degrees.

Masengo Aime fought fires and trained in First Aid in Alaska. Maxwell McCarty interned with the Iowa Heritage Foundation.

Briana Leon visited Scotland, Emelynen Castel visited family in Mexico, and Miluska

Pacheco visited Peru.

Jordan Sperry went skydiving, Katelynn England started EMT classes and the list goes on.

All of these students are succeeding through their personal hard work and determination, with a little help from the college’s TRIO program.

It is one of many academic support programs available at Clinton, Muscatine and Scott Community Colleges.

TRIO is a federally funded Student Support Services program helping students succeed in college and transfer to the four-year college/ university level. TRIO takes students on visits to colleges and universities, provides

personal and leadership development, individualized tutoring, career exploration, and much more.

To be eligible students must meet certain criteria such as being a first generation student (parents do not have a Bachelor’s Degree) and certain federal household income guidelines.

With so many quality candidates, it all came down to experience and a great fit. Finding someone who could truly reflect a culture of ‘high aspirations and high expectations’ for staff, faculty and students was at the top of the list when reviewing candidates for the position of president at Scott Community College. One individual combined a steady progression of growth in more than six college administrative posts with a laser focus on meeting student needs to stand out among the rest.

“We couldn’t have been more pleased with the many highly qualified candidates for the position”, said Eastern Iowa Community Colleges Chancellor Don Doucette when announcing the hiring of Dr. Lyn Cochran as the next president of Scott Community College. “Dr. Cochran stood out among the finalists. Her extensive background is a great asset for our institution.” Dr. Cochran took over the reins from retiring president Teresa Paper in August. Her previous experience includes serving as Assistant Vice President for Organizational Development at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach; Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs at North Iowa Community College in Mason City; Dean of the College of Arts, Letters and Sciences at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, MN; Campus Executive Officer and Dean at University of Wisconsin-Richland; Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, MN; and Assistant Dean for Communications and Industrial Technology at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, NE. “I had a tremendous experience during my interview process at SCC and very much enjoyed the entire college community,” Cochran said.

Enrollment data for Eastern Iowa Community Colleges reflects EICC is the most diverse community college in the state of Iowa.

leading in D

iversity on campus is like opening a door – creating a wider view while enriching what’s inside. Just as important, it makes students and staff from all backgrounds feel like they belong at our colleges. Stretched along the banks of the Mississippi River, with a geographic area reaching more than 120 miles from north to south and multiple learning sites, Eastern Iowa Community Colleges features a vibrant combination of urban and rural environments.

This creates an incredible diversity of ages, ethnic backgrounds, experiences and cultures among our students and the communities we serve – enriching our learning environments and the opportunities we can offer our students. Our enrollment data reflects we are the most diverse community college in the state of Iowa and we acknowledge diversity to be both a strength and a defining characteristic in providing a quality education.

Members of the EICC Diversity Council are charged with reviewing and making recommendations concerning college processes, programs, policies and activities in light of a commitment to create and sustain an academic environment that supports diversity in its many forms – including the diversity of perspective formed by diverse backgrounds, age, ethnicity, socio-economic class, race, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, education and culture.

"It is important to all students to feel they belong and are welcome at our colleges” - John DaBeet, EICC Diversity Council Co-Chair

n Diversity Made up of members from throughout the colleges, the council continually explores ways to develop learning facilities and activities that create inclusive spaces and relationships. “It is important to all students to feel they belong and are welcome at our colleges,” explains John DaBeet, EICC Diversity Council Co-Chair, and Business Department Coordinator and faculty member at Muscatine Community College. “The long term success of our colleges calls for a diverse body of talent that can bring fresh ideas, perspectives and views to their work. We want to provide a venue where all cultures and values are appreciated and celebrated.”

Activities have included the launch of a Diversity Academy for professional development, integration of diversity awareness and education in college curriculum, dialogues and sessions on students with disabilities, implicit bias, immigration, social stratification, religion in America, generational differences, and LGBTQA issues, and on-campus activities to celebrate Diversity Week.

The efforts are working. Results of a recent survey conducted among all members of EICC faculty and staff shows EICC places a strong emphasis on having a diverse faculty, administration and staff, and that people at the colleges support their colleagues and students regardless of their heritage or background. DaBeet summarizes it neatly, “Comfortable, welcoming campuses lead to a better student community and a better teaching and working environment for everyone.”

Today, women make up nearly half

of America’s workforce, and counting – but for many years they’ve largely been concentrated in service jobs and traditional female occupations. Change is coming, however, as women move into jobs long dominated by men.

Which suits these three women in Transportation programs at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges just fine.

Randie, Megan and Robin made very deliberate choices to pursue their education in Automotive Technology, Diesel Technology and Truck Driving respectively.

And they have no problem ‘keeping up with the boys’.

In fact, all three of them exude a confidence and a bit of well-earned swagger that comes with knowing their stuff. Different in ages, backgrounds and lifestyles, they share a love of engines, speed and the power that comes from well-tuned vehicles of all shapes and sizes.

Asked why she chose the Automotive Technology program, Randie Lawson gives a quick, simple answer: “Cars are fun.” In her second year with the program at Scott Community College, Randie says it’s obvious her instructors love cars, too. “They are helpful and provide a lot of information, and I like the hands-on aspect,” she adds. Currently working at a local car dealership, Randie says the skills she’s learning match up well with her job.

What she’s accomplishing in the program by actually working on vehicles with a myriad of maintenance and repair problems transfers straight to job competence.

www.eicc.edu/tccmagazine

Megan Loger, a first-year student in the SCC

Diesel Technology program, agrees. “Getting hands-on experience is what set this program apart for me,” says Megan. She looked at a number of other options and saw SCC as the clear winner. “I talked with a lot of people about where I should go for training.

Everybody said SCC was the best and I’ve been happy with my decision. The instructors are really experienced and the diesel lab is great.”

Megan’s husband is a truck driver and they’ve recently leased a 2018 Freightliner.

“I hope to help us save on labor costs by being able to do my own maintenance and repair. Ultimately, my goal is to look into offering a roadside assistance business for truckers.” She’s looking forward to her first work co-op, which is integrated into the program curriculum.

And like Randie, she’s not one bit intimidated about working in what has been a male-dominated field. “It feels good to outshine the boys,” she says with a smile. “They are shocked at what a ‘girl can do’, but I know my way around an engine and around the shop.”

For Robin Wells, soon to be a graduate of the SCC Truck Driving program, she also has a long-time connection to the field she’s about to enter. “My dad was a truck driver so I grew up around it,” she explains. “Getting behind the wheel now makes me feel powerful, and I know the program has helped prepare me to be a conscientious, capable driver,” she adds.

She acknowledges the expertise and support of her instructors in the program and the hours of actual drive time as key to her optimistic outlook and validating her choice to enter the field. She feels totally ready to take her first

100 percent of EICC Career and Technical programs provide hands-on, real-word training job as a driver. “My son and daughters are so proud of my accomplishment and I feel good knowing I’ve shown them not only that I can do it, but that they can achieve their goals as well.”

Eastern Iowa Community Colleges Career and Technical programs are a combination of hands-on training, learning labs featuring the latest technology and strong employer-college partnerships which culminate in college degrees that put the ‘hire’ in higher education.

Not only does EICC work with area business and industry to design curriculum so it matches up with their workforce needs, many of those businesses also provide direct work experiences during a student’s path through a program. This connection gives students meaningful opportunities to apply what they’re learning and to build relationships with local employers.

“Real-world work experience is our number one tool,” explains Ken Hunter, Department Coordinator for Transportation and Diesel Technology at Scott Community College. “We take pride in our wellequipped learning labs that feature access to and experience with almost every tool a student may ultimately use in their profession, but it’s clear the most important tool – our secret weapon – is work experience,” he adds.

These experiences can take the form of clinical experiences with local health care providers that are embedded into the curriculum of EICC’s Nursing and Allied Health programs, on-the-job apprenticeship hours in area restaurants like those which are part of the Journeyman Chef option with the EICC Culinary Arts program, internships offered by local companies supporting the Associate’s Degree in Information Technology, or students in the Agribusiness Management and Farm Management programs working with Ag partner companies as part of their degree requirements.

“All CTE faculty do our best to prepare students to be ready for ever-changing technology and demands of area industry,” notes Hunter. “We’re committed to helping our students succeed.”

Urban Campus Becoming a Reality

Here We Grow!

10 www.eicc.edu/tccmagazine

Newly Renovated MCC Loper Hall Muscatine Community College's Loper Hall has been renovated to create spaces for students to spend time in and be inspired by.

Things are happening fast at the construction site of the new EICC Urban Campus.

The new student success center encourages peer learning, creates student-faculty collaborative spaces and supports advanced technology.

Total project cost was $1.5 million.

“The space dramatically improves the way the space is utilized and demonstrates the pride we have in MCC,” notes Naomi DeWinter, President of Muscatine Community College. “We believe it will become the premiere space on campus for students to study, meet with others, and focus on performing well in their classes.”

T

he approximately $50 million project enables Eastern Iowa Community Colleges to create a full-service campus. The two buildings, located on the north half of East Third Street between Main and Brady Streets, are undergoing a complete remodel inside and a third “connector” building will be added between the two. The building on Main Street will be open for classes for our spring semester this coming January.

New CCC Library

“We are creating a stunning, purpose-built campus that attracts college students of all ages to high-quality, forward-looking programs located in a vibrant, modern downtown learning space,” says EICC Chancellor Don Doucette.

The campus will be approximately 70,000 square feet in size with capacity for 1,500 students. Plans call for 25 regular classrooms, seven computer labs, a science lab, a 2,000-square-foot convening and meeting space, and faculty and administrative offices.

The building will serve as a hub for signature programs in Information Technology (IT) and Business, including a number of industry-specific certificates and programs in project management, business analytics, entrepreneurship and small business start-ups. The college’s EON Virtual and Augmented Reality Innovation Academy, Administrative Office Support program, some college transfer classes, and many continuing education classes will also be at the campus.

Classes and offices currently at the college’s Kahl Educational Center, 326 West Third Street, and EICC’s Urban Campus, 306 West River Drive, will be relocated to the new downtown campus. The expectation is for the building on Brady Street to open later in 2018.

Clinton Community College recently completed a $1.9 million renovation to its library, expanding the size as well as integrating new technology and a new exterior main entrance into the project.

"Our students are doing so much more group work today so we wanted to make sure we were creating space for that task,” says Karen Vickers, President of Clinton Community College. The design accommodated the best use of technology, services for students taking online classes, and added a seminar room for smaller classes and/or meeting space. “Our library is also used by a number of people in the community so we wanted to make sure we included spaces that would make them feel welcome," Vickers adds. "We were excited to be able to include a small gallery space that allows us to display student artwork as well as work of area artists. It has been a wonderful addition for us.”

Taking One Step at a Time

“That’s so typical of community college students today,” said Eastern Iowa Community Colleges Assistant Director for Admissions Tishly Herrington. “They’re juggling a lot of balls in the air… classes, work, family… and it’s hard to keep them all in the air at the same time.

“I especially see adults who know they need to continue their education in order to make a better life for themselves and their family, and they really want to do that, but it’s hard,” she said. “One thing I encourage them to do is to just take it a step at a time.”

Dec. 6 Info Session www.eicc.edu/adultplan 1-888-336-3907

Here’s a common scenario: You’ve been out of school for a couple of years or more, you’re working and maybe even have a child or two.

You want to continue your education because you know that, long-term, it’s going to help you get better jobs and raise your income.

But, it’s just so hard to make classes fit into a busy work and family schedule.

Each class they complete gets them one step closer to their goal.

www.eicc.edu/tccmagazine www.eicc.edu/tccmagazine

She explained students often become overwhelmed, thinking about all the classes they need to finish in order to earn their degree. Instead, she advises students to think about what they can do now.

“If a student feels they have the time and can take three or four classes at once, then by all means, they should do that,” Herrington said. “But if they can only fit one class into their schedule, there’s nothing wrong with that. Each class they complete gets them one step closer to their goal.”

She also pointed out the benefit that provides in the job search.

“Even if you haven’t yet completed your degree, when you have more

college classes on your resume than the others applying for that same job, it really gives you a leg up,” she said.

To help people fit classes into busy schedules, Eastern Iowa Community Colleges has introduced a new Degree Plan for Working Adults. Its Flexclass delivery makes it possible for students to earn their degree on their time.

Flexclass combines classroom-based instruction with online studies students complete at home. They attend class just once a week and then complete additional work at home, online, when it works with their schedule.

That combines the best of both worlds. Students still get time in a classroom with fellow students, but it only requires them to be there once a week, not multiple times. The online work provides the “flex” to arrange the additional classwork when it best fits them.

As an added benefit, new students get their first evening class at half-off tuition.

Learn more about the program at a special December 6 information session beginning at 5:30 p.m.

”

Go to black.

Go to black.

That’s a phrase one might hear at the conclusion of a scene in a film or theatre production. But it takes a much different meaning at Muscatine and Scott Community Colleges with both recently introducing new black box theaters.

Black box theaters are popular on many college campuses thanks to the great versatility they allow directors in staging a production.

The theaters are large square rooms with flat floors and black walls, hence the name, black box.

The unique design allows directors to set their imaginations loose. Plays can be staged in the round with the audience on all four sides, in a traditional setting with the stage on one end,

or with a thrust stage where the stage extends into the theatre and the audience is seated on three sides.

Muscatine and Scott Community Colleges present a number of student productions each academic year. Both just closed their most recent shows. Muscatine presented The Uninvited and Scott held Almost Maine.

In addition to its theatre program, Muscatine’s musical department provides choir and jazz choir opportunities for its students. This past year, the college introduced new scholarships specifically for students enrolling in the theatre and music programs. Graduating high school seniors are invited to participate in open auditions for those scholarships later in the spring semester. For more information call the college at 563-288-6007.
