Letter From The President It has been a phenomenal year of success in fulfilling the strategic goals of Lewis and Clark in service to our 220,000+ district residents.

Lewis and Clark Community College’s Annual Report is a collection of highlights from the past year, which bring us all a tremendous sense of pride for what has been accomplished.

For example, thanks to the tremendous generosity and thoughtfulness of the late Ed Weber, of Hartford, and his gift of $3,275,000, 2018 saw the creation of the Weber Workforce Center, featuring the latest in welding and simulation technology in support of Lewis and Clark students entering the world of manufacturing and welding applications in MIG, TIG, Arc, etc. Please stop by the Godfrey campus and visit this amazing facility, which has become the flagship Midwest Center for Miller Electric—one of the two major manufacturers of welding equipment.

Also, 2018 was our most impressive year in student retention and a host of other measures of student and institutional success as measured against 28 benchmark institutions in 17 states, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Lewis and Clark’s success has not gone unnoticed. This year, the college received numerous grants and contracts from such prestigious and diverse strategic partners as the Walton Family Foundation, McKnight Foundation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Institute of Museum and Library Services, Swarovski, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Education, just to name of few.

Our faculty, staff, students and region have much to celebrate (as you can see from the highlights in this annual report) and our future continues to look bright. Have a wonderful and prosperous 2019!

Dale Chapman President, Lewis and Clark Community College

Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation

33

Letter From the MJCHF President In 2018, the Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation turned its attention to a focus on humanities inspired leadership.

The issues we face as a society are complex and interdependent, including population growth and demographic change; urban and rural economic opportunity; access to water; the influence and actions of hate groups and racism; climate change; access to nutritious food; inequity; broken criminal justice system; and vanishing religious freedom.

Our leaders are not adequately equipped to address these challenges. They struggle to solve the issues that are present and pressing and seem almost incapable of anticipating emerging crises.

Something in our current approach to leadership training is missing. To compound this omission, the current system for identifying leadership candidates is broken and biased.

Developing future generations of leaders, purposefully equipping them with the culture, mindset, character traits, ethics, practical experience, mentoring and skill sets to better anticipate and, when necessary, solve problems – together and alone – is critical to our mission.

As we pivot from our accomplishments achieved over the past year, we look forward to exciting opportunities that lie ahead. A focus on humanities-inspired leadership requires our continued support at this critical juncture.

To create communities that embrace respect, dignity, understanding and forgiveness among people of different cultures, races, and religion. Activities are conducted and aimed at finding solutions to social and human problems such as poverty, energy and water needs, and educational inequities.

Sincerely,

Mannie Jackson

Mannie Jackson President, Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation

Principal Investigators Dr. Shawn Dalton and Dr. Michael Pasquier completed work on a cultural mapping project that combines quantitative and qualitative data sources to improve human understanding of the relationships between people and places, and helps inform policy, planning and management of regional development and placemaking.

The Mannie Jackson Humanities Index (MJHI®) begins with a community characterization based on a series of maps, the relative distribution of goods, benefits, services and other datasets. Users of a community characterization can then determine the potential for economic development, capacity building, infrastructure investment, community vulnerability and resiliency, and other indicators that are important to the residents, planners and 21st century decision makers of an area. A primary goal of this research is to develop a research methodology that can be adopted worldwide for assessing workforce preparedness, vulnerability and resiliency in support of economically viable communities.

THE L&C FOUNDATION

Letter From the L&C Foundation President At a recent board meeting, a bright young student thanked us for the scholarship he received. The student, Isaiah, received both the Olin Minority Scholarship and a Golden Eagle Scholarship for the 2018-19 academic year. He shared with us that he chose Lewis and Clark to avoid accumulating student loan debt. He didn’t want the distraction and worry of mounting debt while he tried to focus on his education. In addition to finding an affordable option to engage in a STEM program, Isaiah was also met with the support of the Foundation and its generous donors. Now he won’t have to worry about paying for his education, thanks to you.

Isaiah’s goals and choices resonate with me. After graduating from high school, I chose L&C because it was affordable and close to home. I transferred to SIUE’s School of Engineering and eventually started my own business, Contegra Construction. L&C was a springboard for me, just like it is for Isaiah and about 11,000 other students every year.

When you give to the Foundation, your donation heads straight to our students. You give them what they need to succeed. You give them the gift of an education. That’s a gift that can never be taken away. In the following pages we’ve listed all of our scholarship recipients and our valued donors. We’ve provided the financial position of the Foundation and a list of the Foundation board members who do an excellent job of stewarding your gifts.

On behalf of the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation Board of Directors, thank you for your generous support in 2018. Your donations are an investment in our students, our communities and our future.

Sincerely,

When you give to the Foundation, your donation heads straight to our students. You give them what they need to succeed. You give them the gift of an education.

That’s a gift that can never be taken away.

The Foundation’s 2018-2019 scholarship recipients attended the Scholars and Donors Recognition Dinner in October and had the opportunity to mingle with donors and celebrate their collective impact.

L&C Foundation Scholarships Each spring, the L&C Foundation and the college have more than $300,000 in scholarships to award to students of all ages, abilities, courses of study and academic achievement levels, regardless of full or part-time status. To earn a scholarship for the coming academic year, students apply online at www.lc.edu/scholarships beginning in November, with a deadline in March. In 2017, the L&C Foundation Board of Directors approved a secondary awarding procedure for scholarships that remain available at the start of each semester.

Scholarships range from partial to full tuition and fees. A full-time student spends about $5,000 on tuition, fees, books and supplies.

Scholarship Review Committee

A committee of faculty, staff, volunteers and local educators reviewed, ranked and awarded the 2018-2019 scholarships to deserving students Sharon Roberts – Chair, L&C Foundation Board of Directors Julie Breden – Faculty, Jersey Community High School Robert Kasten – Retired Principal, East Alton-Wood River High School Debbie Pitts – Retired Principal, Civic Memorial High School LaDonna Whitner - Retired Principal, Alton High School Individuals, families, companies and community groups empower students by investing in scholarships. We are deeply grateful for their gifts.
