When community colleges were first established in Iowa, tuition accounted for about one-third of the revenue, with local and state aid accounting for the other two-thirds. Over the past 45 years the local tax structure has not changed even though enrollment has increased 1800 percent; thus, local aid now accounts for less than 6% of total operating funds. Unlike K-12 districts, community colleges are not allowed to increase the local tax rate to meet needs; similarly, the state has also not been able to proportionately match funding with enrollment growth.

Because of these factors, tuition now accounts for over 58 percent of the budget and Iowa community college tuition is the 5th highest in the nation.

In the past year, Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) advanced initiatives to provide extra assistance to students who may face obstacles in their pursuit of a college degree. As always, the tight job market and professional world rewards college degree earners and skill proficiency, and NICC is committed to ensuring that every student has the tools and services they need to be successful.

Learning and Writing Centers The college provides many services to build upon what is going on in the classroom for students. At NICC campuses, centers and facilities in area communities, students can brush up on their reading comprehension, their fluency in English, study and earn their high school diplomas as adults, or fine tune a research paper to get a better score.

Learning Centers and Writing Centers help students to reach these academic goals, and also offer tutoring services to students in a variety of subjects that include mathematics, anatomy and physiology, biology, English and other challenging assignments.

Dyslexia Tutoring At the NICC Dubuque Center, a new successful program is helping to reverse dyslexia among students of all age groups. Persons with dyslexia have difficulty understanding the written word and often transpose letters in the spelling of words.

The program, which is based on emerging neuroscience and the Susan Barton method, enrolls students in the Tri-state area based upon referrals from teachers, counselors and parents of children who know of students in need of extra assistance.

Workforce Our Commitment to the

Whether a continuing education class for professional licensure or a degree program, Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) continues its ongoing commitment to enrich our region’s workforce. NICC developed new programs this year that identified emerging fields, and created new curriculum to train the skilled workers that our area employers need most.

Green Jobs Programming NICC received additional federal funding this year to train students for new careers in the “green” collar industry. This growing sector is directly linked to environmentally-friendly practices and sustainability efforts that are beginning to drive real employment needs as Iowa communities look to sustainability and conservation practices.

Additionally, a new Wind Turbine Repair Technician program at the Calmar campus will help supply skilled workers for the region’s renewable energy industry. In this two-year credit program, students are trained to work in turbine parts manufacturing plants, evaluate open lands for their wind energy potential and install and repair wind turbines at wind farms.

Computerized Numerical Control The Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) credit program reopened this semester in a new $7.6 million Industrial Technologies facility to directly address needs for trained machinists in the Peosta area. Students learn how to program a machine to operate and cut tools, run industrial-sized CNC lathes and machining centers, and use machine controllers through computer simulation.

Chemical Technology Another high need area that NICC is developing with the help of grant funds is the Chemical Technician program. This two-year credit program will prepare graduates to perform data gathering, measurement taking, and reporting of findings in the ethanol, food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries. Chemical technicians work in every aspect from basic research to quality control and hazardous waste management.

New programs are emerging at NICC to supply skilled workers for a variety of different industries.

NICC is committed to employers in northeast Iowa, the education and professional development of our communities, and the success of our area workforce.

Over the past year, these individuals and organizations made great contributions to perpetuate NICC student success through scholarship creation.

“Scholarships like these are vitally important to ensure that student education is not limited because of financial need. Many times the difference between the success or the failure of a student is a scholarship,” said Penny Wills,

NICC president. “Scholarships not only serve the students, but they enhance the communities in which our students live and contribute their talents.”

John Deere Scholarship Fund This spring, the John Deere Foundation created a scholarship fund for NICC students enrolled in the Welding, Diesel Mechanics, Electronic Technology and Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) programs. Students in these programs learn their trades in the new Industrial Technology Building at the Peosta campus.

Sandra Lynn, John Deere manager of labor relations, said that Deere’s ongoing teamwork with NICC to meet local employment needs sparked interest in the new scholarship opportunity.

“Our own employees have enrolled in Northeast Iowa Community College’s Welding program to advance their skills. We wanted to help make industrial technology training more accessible for students in our area, and there’s certainly a lot of value to these programs to our business,” said Lynn. She also recognizes the value her company receives from customized, on-site job skills training through the college’s Economic Development division, noting that NICC responds quickly, often delivering courses in just one or two weeks time.

The Willis and Patricia Hansen Scholarship The Willis and Patricia Hansen Scholarship provides support for NICC students enrolled in business and accounting programs and

is open to Chickasaw County residents, including Turkey Valley School District students, who have completed at least one semester at NICC.

...the couple...understand the value of a community college education...

Students who demonstrate good citizenship, leadership skills and service to their communities qualify for the award each fall. Willis Hansen is the retired president of State Bank of Lawler (now Bank Iowa) and the couple has worked with NICC to help advance its initiatives for many years.

They understand the value of a community college education and

to contribute to students as they pursue their career dreams.

“I am extremely proud to be able to establish this scholarship for NICC students,” he said. “Our family wants to make a difference and hopes that this scholarship helps a student to get on the right career path at NICC, and off to a strong start.”

Cindy O’Bryon Scholarship After her retirement from the college, Cindy O’Bryon and her family sought to make a lasting contribution to NICC students.

To honor O’Bryon’s retirement as NICC Peosta campus provost, her family created a scholarship for Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) students. Beginning next spring, the NICC Foundation will

award four scholarships to students in the new program. The O’Bryon family and the new scholarship seeks to encourage female students to enroll in CNC. “My family has been in the machining business for over 45 years and it is the life work of my father and brother. So, this scholarship is very meaningful to us. NICC students are extremely deserving and I am so grateful to my family for providing this scholarship for them in my name.”

William “Bill” Wermers Scholarship Fund The loss of a beloved accounting instructor in February 2010, William “Bill” Wermers, generated interest in a new memorial scholarship fund in his name. Wermers made a powerful impact in the lives

of Calmar campus accounting students and graduates during his tenure from 1969-1999. In his memory, many college faculty, staff and alumni have contributed to the fund and remember Wermers for his teaching and warmth.

Linus Kuboushek, a 1971 NICC Accounting Specialist graduate, recalled Wermers’ influence on him as a student. “After I started at NICC, my accounting instructor Bill Wermers got me thinking that there were more things to do than to go into farming,” he said. “He taught us that we needed life skills to go far in life.”

and his sons and their families.

The Bill Wermers Endowed Memorial Scholarship Fund will provide financial assistance for others seeking a college degree in the college’s accounting programs.

Our Commitment to Technology

9

Technology and computers seem to have a storyline of their own: Each year consumers scramble for the latest gadgets, the newest high-tech tools and the next advancement of software for work. Teaching college students to use technology is part of this story’s plotline. Whether it is a lesson with Microsoft’s trusty PowerPoint software, or a detailed physics lecture delivered via smartboard, NICC continually stays ahead of the technological curve to enrich students’ academic experience and prepare them for their future careers.

In a day-to-day commercial, industrial, educational and social life that is infused with technology, NICC faculty and staff understand that technology is not a buzzword – it is the norm for 21st century teaching.

NICC continues to refine its network of technology to teach, work, share and learn. The college’s five consecutive semesters of double-digit enrollment growth contain a less noticeable fact – right now, 26 percent of all NICC students are enrolled in at least one online class or are in one of 12 programs offered completely online.

editing help from their peers, join philosophic discussions in ethics courses in cyberspace and others respond to class topics during the week – at home, before or after work, and when things are flexible.

The advanced manufacturing programs at the new Peosta campus Industrial Technologies Building employ similar latest-and-greatest technology to teach. New equipment for Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) students develops qualified, skilled graduates for local machinist jobs because they will have already trained on the same tools most area employers use.

Local business leaders, such as Randy Decker, owner and president of Decker Machining in Peosta, directly contributed to this new NICC program . Decker is a 1982 NICC General Machinist graduate, has worked extensively in the CNC and machining industry locally, and talked to college officials about how the area workforce needs skilled machinists.

Decker’s input helped to update the curriculum and identify the latest in technology for NICC students.

The sharp increase in online course enrollment demands a reflexive response to meet technological needs. Today, many NICC students share assignments and have online discussions on message boards without ever entering a classroom, taking their seats and scribbling “It is critical that NICC students learn notes. Students enrolled in from the most state-of-the art, advanced online composition courses technology that is available.” receive computer-based

New software need to do projects in AutoCAD drafting, Adobe graphic design or Microsoft word processing and presentation software seems to emerge just as consumers have mastered the previous version. Yet, NICC understands the realities of software upgrades, and the college purchases recent products to keep students current on software changes. The ongoing journey of computer software evolutions and versions only reminds educators that students at NICC take first priority.

This past year NICC, through its grant writing efforts, secured funds to purchase state-of-the-art technological equipment to enhance learning for students and increase their career opportunities. Dubuque Racing Association (DRA)/Mystique Casino provided funds to purchase adult literacy computer hardware and software for the Multicultural Center in Dubuque, and the Alliant Energy Foundation supplied funds to the NICC Foundation to buy advanced electrical equipment for students enrolled in the Commercial-Residential Electrician and Industrial Electrician programs at the Calmar campus.

The DRA/Mystique Casino and Alliant Energy support, along with many other generous organizations’ contributions, makes the expense of new technological equipment possible and, in turn, NICC students learn with the best. “Our students and area employers will benefit greatly from this support,” said NICC President Penny Wills, Ph.D. “It is critical that NICC

students learn from the most state-of-the art, advanced technology that is available. It not only gives them more employment opportunities, but it also greatly benefits area employers.”

Of course, the success of businesses and organizations depends upon the quality of the people who work there. The introduction of new technologies needs qualified faculty members, trainers and coordinators to implement and use the equipment to teach students. NICC has a Distance Learning department that oversees online course delivery, whether the student is several towns away from a campus or center, or the student resides on the west coast. Quality personnel play a large role in technological infrastructure and the college’s commitment to addressing what new product or service will be educationally beneficial.

NICC students succeed with the successful integration of technological tools, computer software, highly trained staff and instructors, and the efforts of community-minded organizations that believe in the important work NICC does. These technologies make processes and tasks run more efficiently and smoothly, and the latest version of a software package can make the difference in the preparedness of the college’s graduates.

TRiO Programs

11

NICC’s TRiO-Upward Bound and TRiO-Student Support Services programs work to bridge the gap between high school academics and to provide a support network for a growing college community of first-generation college students, persons of low income or who have disabilities. Funded through the U.S. Department of Education, TRiO Upward Bound offices in Calmar and Peosta get high school kids interested into continuing their education, finding out what career or academic paths interest them and tailoring their on-campus experience and field trips to help them reach that goal.

Similarly, the Peosta Campus TRiO-Student Support Services program provides support in and out of the classroom to qualifying, current college students.

Mentoring and Accommodations Pilot programs on the Calmar campus are also taking shape that assist students with learning and physical disabilities. Anna Stamat, NICC’s Coordinator of Disabilities Services, oversees a mentoring program called STEP or Support Through the Encouragement of Peers. This program matches students in need with student mentors, providing supports and accommodations that will help students succeed. Another program, entitled Adult Literacy for the Workforce in Iowa (ALWI), matches students with additional instructional help right within the context of the student’s educational program. Both of these programs report increased student success as a result.

The many programs, services and professionals available at NICC provide great support to students in their college journeys. The support network and variety of free services demonstrate to students of all ability levels that their path to college graduation is a team effort.

...programs provide a support network for a growing college community of firstgeneration college students...
