Summer/Fall 2011 Discover

The Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station

From The President Featured on the cover of this edition of Discover is our newest facility – the Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station. Our partnership with the University of Illinois and the Illinois Natural History Survery – the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center – now has a permanent home along the river in Alton to conduct river research aimed at developing sound watershed and river management strategies that will protect valuable natural resources. The facility was dedicated this fall and named for Congressman Costello, whose support of NGRREC has been unwavering. More than 800 people joined us Oct. 26 to dedicate this state-of-the-art sustainable building, designed to obtain LEED Platinum status – the highest level in green building design. We continue to receive tremendous feedback from the community about the uniqueness of this facility,the importance of its green features and its impact on global issues related to rivers. I would encourage you to read more about this facility on pages 8 and 9.

Inside this issue you’ll also find information on Lewis and Clark’s High

School Partnership Program and how it has saved district parents and students more than $15.5 million in tuition since it began in 1999. We constantly hear stories from parents and students about how much money and time they save through this nationally accredited, dual credit program. We have provided just a few of those examples for you here.

Our dual credit program is just one way our residents can save money on tuition. Information about financial aid and the numerous scholarships we offer can be found on pages 12 and 13. Financial Aid can often be an overwhelming topic, but we’ve broken it down to help you understand the process and the terminology. Did you know more than 6,000 L&C students received some form of aid last year? That equated to more than $13 million in assistance to students alone last year.

And don’t think it’s ever too late to start college, or to re-enroll. Our 30-and-Out program, featured on page 6, is a great opportunity for individuals who already have a degree, but are looking for a change in career to meet the demands of this economy.

Our faculty and staff strive to create new and innovative educational opportunities each and every semester. I encourage you to read about a few of those offerings in this edition of Discover.

Dual Credit Saving Students Time and Money Lewis and Clark’s High School Partnership program offers students at 18 area schools the opportunity to start earning college credits before they leave high school. For some, that means getting the opportunity to start college as a sophomore, taking less intimidating course loads, or even graduating early.

The program, accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships, saw a 15 percent increase in the number of students receiving dual credit in 2010 and a 30 percent increase in the number of credit hours taken.

Because the courses are free (no charge for tuition or books) and many can be transferred to other colleges and universities, dual “This fall’s credit credit opportunities hours taken by high equate to substantial savings school students for area families in a struggling economy. represent a savings “This fall’s credit of $1,122,264 for hours taken by high school students district parents.”

represent a savings of $1,122,264 for district parents, and that number is based only on Lewis and Clark’s low tuition rate,” Vice President of Enrollment Services Kent Scheffel said.

Riley Hale, a Godfrey resident and senior in Journalism 2 at Alton High School, said her dual credit experience has not only been fun, but has also given her a nice head start as she plans to pursue an education in journalism, possibly at Southeast Missouri State University. She’ll have 18 college credits before she even sets foot on campus.

“It’s saving me money. I have to go to college three and a half years instead of four,” she said.

The Edwardsville School District reached an all time high by offering 46 dual credit courses this fall – the most ever offered by a high school in the dual credit program.

“We were amazed to see such a large number of courses and students from one school district who are taking advantage of the dual credit offering,” Scheffel said. “I believe that more parents are realizing the value of their student earning college credit – at no cost to them – while they attend high school. I am sure this college savings is even more significant given the current economy.”

Annice Brave: Teacher of the Year 2011 Illinois’ Teacher of the Year for 2011 Annice Brave is an instrumental force for Lewis and Clark’s dual credit program at Alton High School.

Chair of the AHS English Department since 2000, and journalism advisor since 1995, Brave teaches a wide spectrum of classes across many academic levels, from English and Journalism honors classes to night school English. As advisor to the RedBird Media Group, she oversees the RedBird Word, a monthly student newspaper; Calliope, the fine arts magazine; WLCA 89.9-2 HD, broadcasting three days a week; and Channel One News, broadcasting news and public service announcements every school day.

Many of her junior and senior level courses count as dual credit at Lewis and Clark, which can be transferred to other colleges and universities.

“I am very proud to be a member of the dual credit partnership with L&C,” Brave said. “To have the opportunity to help kids achieve their dreams is the biggest payoff there is.”

Brave is a Nationally Board Certified Teacher at Alton High School, and is currently one of four finalists for National Teacher of the Year 2011.

Dual Credit Alum: In Their Own Words MCHS Class of 2008 Notre Dame Class of 2012 Accounting and History major

Chris Chris Kratschmer Kratschmer

It takes most students at least a partial fifth year in college to collect the 150 college credits needed to sit for the CPA exam, but thanks to dual credit courses he took while at Marquette Catholic High School and summer school at Lewis and Clark, Kratschmer will be able to take it after only four years at Notre Dame.

“Normally, students would graduate with just more than 120 credits, but I’ll be at 150 at graduation. You can save a lot of money through dual credit, and it’s really convenient,” said the Godfrey native.

He’s planning to spend his Spring Semester this year studying abroad in Dublin, Ireland.

AHS Class of 2010 Pittsburg State University Class of 2014 Biology and Commercial Graphics major With 36 college credit hours earned from Alton High School, Joseph will be able to earn two bachelor’s degrees in only four years instead of five or six.

“It’s a great deal because I would have had to pay more money to come here for more years. Plus, I got several classes out of the way, and now I don’t have to take them in college,” she said. “There was definitely a different atmosphere and more work to do, but my dual credit classes were a lot more like college courses. I think the teachers did a good job teaching us not only the material, but what to expect in a college classroom.”

Brett Ostrander

Instead of graduating early, Ostrander took advantage of his earned dual credits by reducing his courseload at Stanford University to a comfortable level.

“Not having to take as many units as other people gave me a little more flexibility,” Ostrander said. “The thing that helped me the most was my Spanish transfer credit. Stanford requires a full year of foreign language, but I was fortunate enough to already have that done.”

“If you’re planning on going to college, you’re probably going to have to take some of these classes anyway. If you take them in high school, you can save the money on tuition and books and the time. It would be really beneficial,” he said. www.lc.edu - 5

What is 30 and Out? Sometimes, having the option to change careers or continue one’s education in a field of interest can turn things around for a person professionally.

The 30 and Out option, available through select Lewis and Clark Community College programs, allows anyone who has already earned an associate or bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university to earn an Associate in Applied Science degree in just 30 credit hours.

With the help of a program advisor, students can choose 30 credit hours (10 classes in most cases) from approved courses within their chosen program to complete, as long as they meet all the institutional requirements for the AAS degree.

To get started, contact your program coordinator to learn more and receive written approval detailing the specific courses required for your degree option today.

The following L&C programs offer 30 and Out options: • Accounting • Computer Graphics • Computer Network Security & Administration • Criminal Justice • Management • Office Assistant Administrative • Office Assistant - Legal • Office Assistant - Medical • Paralegal • Web Design

Two-time Trailblazer Finds His Niche in Computer Graphics Chad Stutz, 26, of Alton earned his Associate in Science degree from Lewis and Clark in 2004, but when several years and an bachelor’s degree later he found he was still working in retail, he discovered 30 and Out. “It was a good job and I had the opportunity to move forward with the company, but I decided it wasn’t what I had wanted,” Stutz said.

Because he already held a degree, another one was only 30 credit hours of approved courses away through L&C’s 30 and Out program. With a dream to enhance his business and marketing background, Stutz began pursuing an associate in applied sciences degree in Computer Graphics, and graduated yet again in the spring of 2010.

Before he even completed the program, Stutz was hired as a web 6- “Discover”

designer for Riverbender.com - a job he now loves.

“I knew I liked working with computers, designing, and marketing management. After I received my bachelor’s degree in marketing, I wanted to branch off and work on another area I found interesting – graphic design,” Stutz said. “The classes I took at L&C provided an excellent foundation of knowledge and skills essential in my new career, and they transferred directly to the workplace. The classes covered a lot of the same programs I use at work, so it has been a smooth transition.”

Stutz aspires to continue working in online media, and someday hopes to tie his management background into his career as well.

Automotive Technician Gets a Charge Out of Converting Cars

About a year ago, Scott Aljets started an electric conversion project on a Chevrolet S10 pickup truck for himself and his wife, L&C Dean of Math, Science and Technology Sue Czerwinski. Having grown up and worked in the family business, Aljets Automotive in Dorsey and Staunton, the project’s purpose was two-fold – a hobby for Aljets and a chance for Czerwinski to lead Lewis and Clark’s green revolution by setting a good example.

Once he found the right vehicle and the right conversion kit for his

purposes, it took Aljets a little more than five months to complete the process.

Other than the benefit of no emissions, the truck doesn’t cost much to run. It is powered by 24 golf-cart batteries and gets charged every night.

“It costs me about a penny-a-mile worth of electricity. If (Sue) drives to Lewis and Clark and back 30 miles a day, that’s only 30 cents,” he said.

“I can go about 45 miles on one charge and as fast as 70 miles per hour,” said Czerwinski, who is on an

Tips for Water Conservation • Turn the faucet off when brushing your teeth and/or shaving (save 5-10 gal. per person per day).

• Install conservation devices such as faucet aerators in your sinks, water-saving showerheads and high efficiency toilets (1.28 gallons per flush).

• Don’t use your toilet as a wastebasket (save 3-7 gallons per flush).

• Rinse dishes, fruits and vegetables in a filled basin rather than under running water.

• Wash only full loads in the dishwasher, and individual items by hand.

• Wash only full loads of clothing in the washing machine; hand wash single garments.

• Water your lawn at times of the day when it’s cooler outside to minimize evaporation.

• Purchase a rain barrel and collect rain water to water your plants and lawn.

• Mulch outdoor plants to help the soil retain moisture

The college is in the process of adding charging stations at the Godfrey and N.O. Nelson campuses, and already has one at the Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station.

Aljets is showing others what the planning and conversion process entails during a Corporate and Community Learning workshop, “Build an Electric Vehicle” which runs from March 3-April 7. Be on the lookout for similar courses in the future.

Large Turnout for Dedication of Costello Field Station Lewis and Clark and the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC) dedicated its new, state-of-the-art, sustainable Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station in October with more than 800 members of the community in attendance.

“We were amazed at how many people joined us for this dedication,” Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman said. “We continue to receive requests for tours and more information on the building, and I think the large turnout and the continued interest in the facility says a lot about Congressman Costello’s support of this community, as well as the unique characteristics of this sustainable building.”

The 35,000 square-foot Field Station, located adjacent to the Melvin Price Locks and Dam in Alton, is the first building ever named in Costello’s honor.

Costello took office in 1988 and has since been a champion for transportation and infrastructure, 8- “Discover”

and for the research and development of clean coal technologies.

“Just as Lewis and Clark began a quest for knowledge from these shores over 200 years ago, our dedication of the Great Rivers Research and Education Center formally begins a journey to better understand our great rivers,” Costello said. “From the outset, the concept for the Center has been unique, collaborative and international in scope, and it is already in a class by itself as an educational institution.

Students from all over the world will come to our area to study the ecology and management of large rivers. But it is more than just a building for research. This beautiful, innovatively-designed facility is a classroom for hands-on learning by students and citizens of all ages.

“Our region is the perfect site for this project, near the confluence of three great rivers, which are critical to our economy, outlets for our recreation and defining parts of our landscape through their sheer

beauty and awesome power. The great rivers are a tremendous part of our heritage, so it is very appropriate that this Center be located here, in the heartland of the United States. I am honored and humbled that the Center bears my name, and I look forward to its great success for years to come.”

Therapeutic Massage Tips

By Allison Combs Therapeutic Massage Coordinator

Faculty Spotlight Vickie Rodgers, MSN, RN-C, became the first community college faculty member to be named to the American Nurses Credentialing Center Gerontological Nurse Content Expert Panel this past fall.

As a member of the panel, the board certified gerontology nurse will be working to provide expertise and insight to ANCC as they develop certification examinations for nurses who care for geriatric patients.

Rodgers, who was a stay-at-home mother of three, started at L&C in 1989. From there, she earned her bachelor’s degree from McKendree College in 2001 and a master’s in healthcare nursing administration from SIUE in 2006.

She got her start at the St. Elizabeth’s Hospital ICU in Granite City, where she did some work in patient education. Rodgers also taught high school level health science at a vocational school in St. Louis, and worked as a staff development coordinator at a geriatric facility in St. Louis before coming to Lewis and Clark as an assistant professor of nursing in 2007.

At L&C, she stresses the importance of “It’s one of gerontology. those fields that “It’s one of those fields that we intensely we intensely need people to go into,” need people to Rodgers said. “The geriatric population is go into.” so unbelievably appreciative of everything you do for them. Even if you’re not working in long-term care, nurses need to be very knowledgeable of geriatric care issues, as that is a large percentage of the patient population we serve.”

Research shows that therapeutic massage can reduce blood pressure and heart rate, and with multiple sessions can ease anxiety, depression and even pain in some patients.

There are numerous theories about how massage therapy affects the body. For example, the “gate control theory” suggests that massage may provide stimulation that helps to block pain signals sent to the brain. Other theories suggest that massage might stimulate the release of certain chemicals in the body, such as serotonin or endorphins, or cause beneficial mechanical changes in the body.

Other Health Benefits of Massage Include: • Relief of:

o upper/lower back pain and stiffness

o leg, hip, ankle, and foot pain

o sciatica

o IT band soreness

o plantar fasciitis

o osteoarthritis

o fibromyalgia

o stress • Decreasing tension in sprained and strained muscles • Reducing inflammation • Improving mobility • Alleviating muscle spasms and muscle cramps (with regular massage) • Helping correct poor posture, such as slouching or leaning • Speeding up the mending period of injured tendons and ligaments • Improving sleep • Decreasing reliance on pain medication (if received on a regular basis) • Breaking up knots and trigger points (from San Francisco Chronicle) There are approximately 1,500 massage therapy schools and training programs in the United States. Lewis and Clark’s offers a Therapeutic Massage Clinic, located at the Benjamin Godfrey Mansion, 6722 Godfrey Road in Godfrey, which is staffed by students and a certified massage therapist/instructor and open to the public.

Young and Old Get their Feet Wet With Lewis and Clark’s Swim Offerings It’s never too early or too late to get started with swimming at Lewis and Clark Community College, where a wide variety of aqua classes are offered year round.

“We start at 6 months. The earlier you start, the easier it is for the child,” said instructor Kathy Conlee, who has been teaching at the college for more than 20 years. “Not only is it physically good for the children to be swimming, but it’s also a good life skill to have.”

Courses range from water safety to swim instruction to aqua aerobics, covering skill levels from babies – who learn to kick themselves into an upright position in the water so they can breathe until help arrives in case of a fall into the pool – to athletes who want to perfect their swimming strokes.

Courses Offered This Summer and Fall: • Adult Learn to Swim • Arthritis Exercise • Preschool Swim: 3-5 Years • Swim Levels 1-5: Ages 6 & Up • Swim Level 6: Ages 6 & Up • Water Babies I: 6-18 Months • Water Babies II: 18 Mos-3 Years • Water Exercise • Aqua Zumba® To learn more about courses or to see what’s being offered, visit www.lc.edu/CCL.

Tips for Summer Water Safety 1. Swimmers lose skill if they stay out of the water long.

Think about enrolling in year-round swim classes.

2. Use the buddy system – don’t swim alone.

3. Closely monitor child swimmers.

4. Never rely on water wings or toys as flotation devices.

5. Diving masks that cover the eyes and nose are OK for older swimmers but can cover little ones’ mouths and cause suffocation. Keep them out of reach.

6. Keep toys that may attract young children away from pool areas.

7. Never dive head first into shallow water or where you don’t know the water depth.

8. Keep a flotation device or reaching object – noodle, raft, etc. (towel or cooler will work in an emergency) – near the pool. If you are untrained, don’t jump in after a victim.

Tennis Trio From Jerseyville Joins Lewis and Clark Women’s Tennis Team

Kelsee Nairn, Dylan Ramsey and Danah McCreary, who danced together on the Jersey Community High School pom squad, will team up once again for L&C women’s tennis this year.

“Last year the women went to nationals, and that is our goal for this year too,” McCreary said.

McCreary, Nairn, and Ramsey join Kayla Neudecker, of Marine, and Jenna Davidson, Katie Hayes and Jayne Wendle, all of Alton, to fill out this year’s roster.

Trailblazers’ Women’s Tennis Coach Meredith Heater feels good about a return trip to nationals this season—her first as head coach of the team.

“The girls work well together and have a lot of team spirit,” Heater said. “It should be a good season.”

Last year, both the men’s and women’s tennis teams finished their seasons as NJCAA Region 24 Champs and advanced to national tournaments.

McCreary and Nairn, both 19 of Jerseyville, have been playing tennis together since 7th grade and started on varsity as doubles partners as freshmen. The girls credit their progress to

McCreary’s mom, Brenda, and her sisters – former L&C tennis players Meghan and Katie McCreary.

“My sisters worked a lot with me and Kelsee, helping us improve our tennis skills,” said McCreary. “It has helped a lot.”

One of the duo’s proudest moments in the fall of 2009, their senior year, was when they won first place in the Alton tournament, Nairn said.

Ramsey, 19, of Fieldon, transferred from Blackburn this year to study paralegal at L&C. “I really enjoyed playing College-level tennis last year and am looking forward to playing this year,” said Ramsey.

To view the women’s and men’s tennis schedules for this spring, visit www.lc.edu/athletics.
