WELCOME

Ask the Administration....

What do most enjoy or look forward to during the holiday season?

“I really enjoy putting up the tree. I have been collecting ornaments since Kevin and I married 36 years ago. Each one I unwrap has a memory. ” - Christina Long Registrar

“The holiday season is a special time of year. I look forward to spending time with family and friends; sharing memories and creating new ones. This year in particular, I’m looking forward to reliving the holidays through my one year old grandson’s eyes.

I enjoy celebrating the meaning behind each holiday and taking time for reflection of God’s goodness; to pause and give thanks. The music, decorations, plays, caroling, and worship services all add to the richness of the holiday season”

- Loren Morris.

Chief Information Officer “I love finals week! The buzz of students studying, celebrations of a job well done, the excitement of the approaching holidays, and - this is a big one for me - it’s basketball season! Specific to the holidays, I enjoy time when all members of my family are home sharing meals together and talking. Ultimately, we enjoy and appreciate Christmas as a time to remember and celebrate the significance of the birth of Christ.”

YEARS AT HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY COLLEGE: 4½ years

WHAT MAKES HUTCHCC SPECIAL TO YOU? HutchCC is special to me because it focuses on and delivers to the community for the community. The college is involved in so many community events which helps create an excellent relationship with the folks in the city of Hutchinson and surrounding areas. Advisory committees here at HutchCC , which are involved greatly in the design, structure, and planning of the programs we have, and the relationship bridge they create are truly priceless because they help maintain a strong focus on aspects of those industries that are so importantly integrated in the programs here at the college. HutchCC also provides a terrific one on one experience for students by offering smaller classes, wonderful campus activities and organizations, and also by maintaining a tight-knit campus community. Myself being a graduate of HutchCC might make some think that I am simply another biased Alum.

But I say to those people, the facts do not lie.

ENDOWMENT GIFTS While Ray Waldo and his wife Dolores, known to most as Dee, had no children of their own, they recognized the value of an education and wanted to do what they could to provide that for future generations.

Family members recall Ray and Dee often mentioning a lifelong desire to make a lasting commitment to education, especially doing what they could to minimize the financial burden students could incur.

Upon the passing of Dee in June of 2015 (she had been preceded in death by Ray just six months prior), the Hutchinson Community College Endowment Association was the beneficiary of a gift of one million dollars from the Waldo estate.

Ray Waldo was born January 18, 1933 in McPherson. He was a student at Hutchinson Community College in 195657 before embarking on a lengthy career as an engineering technician with the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Dee was employed by Farmers Alliance Insurance Company in McPherson and with Farm Bureau in Wichita. They were married over 50 years.

“The money will be utilized exclusively to support scholarships for our students, especially in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)”, explained Cindy Keast, the Endowment Association’s Executive Director. “The Waldos realized the importance of excelling in these disciplines and wanted to help ensure students had the opportunity to succeed.”

A Lasting Legacy Keast added, “In recognition of the Waldo’s generosity, the College plans to provide them recognition by providing naming rights of auditorium in Lockman Hall.”

“The Ray & Dee Waldo Scholarship was a blessing in helping to make college accessible for me. HutchCC has given me the opportunity to establish a solid foundation in pursuing my degree in engineering.”

- Brian Shenk, Waldo Scholarship recipient 2017-2018

Title Sample Hutch CC has a long and rich tradition of providing outstanding educational opportunities to our students, while being responsive to our local community needs.

Whether students are looking to develop their core of general education courses so they may transfer to a fouryear education institution; or are interested in the career and technical education path to the work place, Hutchinson Community College has something to offer.

Likewise, the College looks to serve the community in a premier fashion, through the opportunity for continuing education through venues like The Osher Institute, fine arts events, numerous athletic contests or Radio Kansas.

In addition, Hutchinson Community College strives to be an integral part of the community. We must continue to be relevant to local employers who provide opportunities to our graduates and provide the training they need to compete and achieve their business goals. We must continue to work with local economic development entities, such as the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce, to help attract new business and expand existing

ones.

As we move on to a new year, the college is well positioned to grow on its success. We’ve initiated a strategic planning initiative to ensure our offerings and delivery methods remain relevant and in the best interests of our students.

With a collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit, the College partners with local school districts to provide career and technical education opportunities under Senate Bill 155, and concurrent enrollment in general education courses for transfer to universities.

CAMPUS NEWS

The Board of Trustees As with any public organization, Hutchinson Community College has a number of individuals who are active in the community and known to many throughout Hutchinson and Reno County. These range from students and student athletes to the highest levels of Administration. However, there’s one group that often flies under the radar in terms of public visibility, but has a profound impact on the direction and growth of the College – its Board of Trustees.

While the College was founded in 1928, it wasn’t until 1965 that the elected Board of Trustees was officially recognized as its governing body. Previously supported by local boards of education, junior colleges became “community junior colleges”, leading to the name Hutchinson Community Junior College, or HCJC. The first group of trustees consisted of Hyla Bacon, Warren Conrad, Garland Henson, Wesley Nunemaker, Elizabeth Oswald and Elizabeth Rauh.

Their first official meeting was held July 13, 1965.

Some items of note from the 1965-66 school year: • There were 1,466 students enrolled to start the school year; 1,636 by the time the year ended.

• Cost per credit hour was $2.50 • Construction began on the John F. Kennedy Library • Gene Keady was named head men’s basketball coach • Mack Herron starred for the Blue Dragon football team. Herron continued his career at Kansas State and in the National Football League for the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons.

Today the seven member elected board consists of six Blue Dragon alums. Its membership is comprised of Terry Bisbee, Rodney Calhoun, Marla Eriksen, David Marshall, Darrell Pankratz, Bob Snyder and Gary Witham. In January, another alum, newly-elected Todd Miller, will replace Gary Witham, who is retiring after 24 years of service.

The Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees lost a valued member this summer with the passing of Tim Tedder.

Tedder, 63, died June 3 after a lengthy illness. Tim was passionate about serving his community and was especially interested in helping and educating young people and sharing a living history of farming. He served on the South Hutchinson City Council, as mayor of South Hutchinson, as state representative for the 101st District, and on the Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees.
