From the President

T

he Lewis and Clark District includes all or parts of Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, Scott, Morgan and Madison counties. More than 220,000 people live in a diverse rural and urban area covering approximately 2,044 square miles. Lewis and Clark, through strategic planning and a continuous improvement model, aspires to be the preeminent provider of relevant, high quality learning experiences to the communities we serve. Our vision of the future the college combines the best of the traditional and the new to provide an environment that is accessible and highly conducive to learning, social interaction, personal enrichment, physical development and job skills enhancement.

Programs and support services are carefully designed to serve the current and evolving needs of our students. Faculty and staff exemplify the highest standards of service and performance and take pride in achievement of our students and the college as a whole. We are especially proud of our ability to help students raise their aspirations.

As a college, we celebrated numerous achievements throughout 2011. Just to name a few of our highlights from this past year: we completed and dedicated the Hatheway Cultural Center; we hosted the renowned Dance Theatre of Harlem in the newly renovated Ann Whitney Olin Theatre; we achieved 16 consecutive years of enrollment growth; we were once again named a Military Friendly institution by G.I. Jobs Magazine; we were named one of five national recipients of the inaugural U.S. Water Prize; we won the Govenor’s Sustainability Award for reducing our energy consumption more than 14 percent since 2008; we were selected as a recipient for numerous competitive state and national grants; we hosted numerous international visitors from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, India, Korea and Pakistan to benchmark our academic and research programs; we added a number of new academic programs, many with ties to sustainability and sustainable practices; the list goes on.

The progress we make each year reflects the work of numerous employees and community members who work together tirelessly to help shape our institution. Lewis and Clark boasts an achievement-driven faculty, staff and administration who truly believe in the mission of Lewis and Clark: to empower people.

We are currently working on our self-study in anticipation of our next accreditation site visit from the Higher Learning Commission, which is scheduled to take place in 2013. We have received two maximum accreditations (10 years) from the Higher Learning Commission and we are working toward our third.

We invite you to provide us with your feedback about what you think Lewis and Clark’s strengths and weaknesses may be, as we take this time to assess our strategic goals for the future. You can view a copy of our current self-study report online at www.lc.edu/discover/selfStudy.

In Memoriam: Chris Sutcliff (1972-2011)

L

ewis and Clark Associate Professor Chris Sutcliff passed away unexpectedly on Sept. 28, 2011. Chris was a revered colleague, teacher and friend to everyone on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College.

Chris began teaching at Lewis and Clark in the fall of 2003, and was on the Sociology faculty at Cleveland State University and Lorain County Community College prior to joining L&C. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Butler University in 1995, and a master’s degree in Sociology from Indiana State University in 1998. He completed the coursework required for a doctorate in Sociology at The University of Akron in 2002, but discovered that his real passion was teaching college-level students and not research and publishing.

During his teaching career, Chris developed and taught 13 different courses.

At Lewis and Clark, he taught Introduction to Sociology, Cultural Awareness in the Classroom, Social Problems and Race and Ethnicity, and worked with students both online and face-to-face in the classroom. He believed that sociology as a discipline could help students become better informed and more observant about the world. Chris facilitated students’ learning about how society operates and brought sociology to life for many of them. “He taught the course around our experiences,” one student said. It was through those experiences that he helped them understand larger social processes.

In addition to teaching, Chris was the founding chairperson of the Lewis and Clark Diversity Council, a position he held for six years. In that capacity, he worked with other faculty and college staff to bring speakers, poets, musicians and films to campus that illustrated the diversity of the world in which we live and the richness of ethnic, religious, racial, gender and other human differences that emphasize our humanness.

“Chris was a gifted faculty member whose deep concern for his students was only matched by his comprehensive knowledge of sociology and society.

He was a treasure not only for his students, but also for his colleagues and his community,” said Linda Chapman, vice president of Academic Affairs.

A memorial service was held for Chris on Monday, Oct. 10 in Fountain Court on the college’s Godfrey campus, and those who knew him were asked to leave messages in his memory on Lewis and Clark’s website. Family requested that any memorials be made to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, www.appalachiantrail.org.

Re-Introducing the New and Improved Hatheway Cultural Center

O

n Oct. 18, 2011, 48 years from the date of its original dedication, Lewis and Clark Community College rededicated the Hatheway Cultural Center, located on the historic Godfrey campus.

The building, which draws more than 100,000 visitors and community members to campus every year, was originally dedicated on Oct. 18, 1963 and named for Norah Dell Hatheway, a Monticello College alumnae. Mary Dell Olin Pritzlaff, granddaughter of Norah Dell Hatheway, daughter of building donors Spencer T. and Ann Whitney Olin and third generation Monticello alumnae, spoke at both the original and re-dedication.

Renovations and an expansion to include more safety and handicap accessible features and a new multipurpose facility, among other improvements, began in May 2010 and wrapped up just in time one year later for the college’s 2011 Commencement ceremony.

Over the years, many performers, entertainers and educators have graced the stage of the Ann Whitney Olin Theatre inside the Hatheway Cultural Center, and the building’s new features are designed to attract even more notable groups and performances in the years to come.

College Sees Largest Graduating Class in 2011

L

ewis and Clark’s largest graduating class in the history of the college – 1,300 people – earned degrees and certificates in 2011.

Many of those graduates and their families packed the newly renovated Ann Whitney Olin Theatre, inside the Hatheway Cultural Center on the college’s Godfrey campus, on Wednesday, May 18 for the 40th annual Commencement ceremony.

University of Illinois President Robert Easter, chosen for his support of the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center Jerry F. Costello Field Station project (dedicated in October 2010), provided the Commencement address.

A community college graduate himself, he spoke on his experiences, the importance of education in today’s ever-changing workforce and his optimism for the opportunities ahead of the 2011 graduating class.

“My decision to attend community college may have been one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. I graduated with a class of 20 from a small high school and was in no way ready to attack the rigors of a four-year university,” said Easter, who cited his former school’s location and affordability as other reasons for attending.

“I (recently) went back to Southwest Texas for a reunion and had the opportunity to see my peers. As I talked with each of them I realized how successful their lives have been and pondered the importance of that community college experience. As a nation, America needs your skills and your education very much.”

A reception for the graduates and their families was held immediately following the ceremony in The Commons.

This year’s graduation gowns were black in color, but green by nature - made of 100 percent recycled plastic bottles.

“We were pleased to offer our graduates an opportunity to wear these gowns. I think it sends a fantastic message to our graduates, and it’s another opportunity for us to demonstrate to the community our commitment to sustainability.”

L &C Enrollment Grows Despite Economy

W

hile the majority of community colleges experienced downward trends in enrollment, Lewis and Clark saw its 32nd consecutive semester of growth in Fall 2011, continuing the longest continuous growth streak in the state of Illinois. With an official credit headcount of 8,451, one percent over Fall 2010, it was another fall enrollment record for the college.

“The fact that we’ve had 16 years of fall and spring increases is a result of the quality of Lewis and Clark’s academic programs and faculty. Students recognize the value of a Lewis and Clark education and appreciate how the college can help achieve their goals,” said Kent Scheffel, vice president of Enrollment Services.

Moving forward, Lewis and Clark and the Illinois Community College Board are putting more emphasis than ever on completion, and success rates above headcount.

“While many students are facing economic challenges while enrolling in classes, they also realize that furthering their education will aid them in finding or retaining a job. A degree or certificate is a key factor in helping many students gain employment,” Scheffel said.

The college continues to bring economic benefits to the communities we serve through a growing number of college graduates.

“We are drawing students from throughout our district, providing them with an affordable, high quality education, and upon graduation they become nurses, dental hygienists, police officers, fire fighters, paralegals, automotive technicians, process operations technicians and numerous other professionals who work and raise their families in our community,” said L&C President Dale Chapman. “That is what really multiplies the impact we have economically on our district, and more importantly, why our students’ success is so vital to this region.”

Enrollment at a Glance • The number of part time students increased 7 percent in Fall 2011.

• The number of black, non-Hispanic students increased 15 percent (from 566 to 653).

• Requests for financial aid increased, due to the economy.

• L&C ranked fourth in the state in 2011 for highest enrollment based on college district population.

NGRREC Awarded the Inaugural U.S. Water Prize

L

ewis and Clark’s National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC) is one of five national recipients for the 2011 U.S. Water Prize.

The U.S. Water Prize, administered by the Clean Water America Alliance, honors individuals, institutions and organizations that have made an outstanding achievement in the advancement of sustainable solutions to our nation’s water challenges. It is the first of its kind to recognize successful efforts in protecting and improving the health of watersheds in the country.

NGRREC’s mission is to advance the nation’s understanding of great rivers, their floodplains and watersheds for the purpose of sustaining the plant, animal and human communities that depend upon them.

“Through research and public engagement, NGRREC is striving to become a recognized leader in protecting and sustaining the quality of great rivers and their environments,” Lewis and Clark President and NGRREC Chairman Dale Chapman said. “This award will surely enhance the Center’s ability to engage others in this mission on a national and international level.”

L &C Receives 2011 Governor’s Sustainability Award

L

ewis and Clark continues to make strides in both sustainability education and practices, which earned the college recognition in 2011 in the form of a Governor’s Sustainability Award.

The award itself is in its 25th year, presented by the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC). Each year, 25 Illinois companies and organizations are recognized by the award for their significant achievements in protecting the environment, helping to sustain the future and improving the economy.

“These businesses and organizations have shown that it is possible to create and maintain conditions under which people and the environment can exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social and economic requirements of present and future generations,” said Manohar Kulkarni, director of the ISTC, a unit of the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois.

Between 2008 and 2010, Lewis and Clark recorded a 14.4 percent reduction in energy use on its Godfrey campus from energy conservation measures recommended as a result of a comprehensive energy audit and carbon footprint assessment begun in 2008. That year, the college completed a Climate Action Plan (CAP), detailing a cautious and conservative approach to its estimates for achieving climate neutrality within 50 years (or by FY 2058).

“Reducing energy use on campus is not only about saving energy and money for the school, or even reducing our own campus footprint. It is about modeling best practices as an institution that can be adopted by individuals to make an even greater impact for our region, creating a more livable, sustainable community,” said Marcia Lochmann, director of Sustainability and Public Engagement at Lewis and Clark.

Lochmann, along with Water Resources Sustainability Coordinator Ted Kratschmer, accepted the award at a ceremony on Oct. 27 in Champaign, Ill.

Four Primary Energy Conservation Measures are Credited for the Energy Savings: • The Lewis and Clark custodial team transitioned work shifts to take advantage of daylight and reduce the amount of hours during which buildings needed to be lit, and heated or cooled.

• The Information Technology department instituted an automatic shut-down of all computer labs on campus at 8 p.m. every day, reducing energy use with minimum financial and human investments.

• Before the end of 2010, all building interior light bulbs were replaced with high efficiency fluorescent bulbs and many incandescent pathway lamps were replaced with LED pathway lighting fixtures. The remaining exterior pathway lights will be replaced with LED fixtures as funds are available.

• Completed in 2011, the installation of occupancy sensors in most rooms on campus ensures that lights are not on in rooms when they are unoccupied.

• The outcome of all energy conservation measures are recorded on an ongoing basis in conjunction with the CAP, which charts a course for carbon neutrality with reduced emissions and energy needed for campus operations.

Highway Construction Program Offering Trainees a Fresh Start

L

ewis and Clark’s Highway Construction Careers Training Program, which began in 2011, offers minority and disadvantaged students a pathway to a new career in just 10 weeks of intensive training.

While in the program, students learn construction math, job readiness, blueprint reading and construction technical skills, work with those skills in a hands-on environment and earn certification in first aid, CPR, flagger, heavy equipment operation and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10-hour training. At the end, they’re ready to apply for apprenticeships with area unions and start their new job experiences.

L&C’s inaugural class, eight students who wrapped up their training in Fall 2011, were on a waiting list to be called into the Laborer’s Union as of early 2012, which is a strong accomplishment, said Program Director Stephanie Gill.

Made possible by a $239,546 grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation through the Illinois Community College Board, and sponsored by Rep. Dan Beiser of Alton, the program seeks to train 30 participants each year, with a goal to place at least 19 of those students in an apprenticeship program. Students are also encouraged to enroll in college coursework once they have completed the training, which can strengthen their opportunity to join certain apprenticeships.

Successful candidates must be at least 19 years old, have a high school diploma or GED, have a valid Illinois driver’s license and consent to random drug screening.

“The program is exciting because it allows our students to make a difference in their communities as well as their lives,” Gill said.

Lewis and Clark continues to maintain a balanced budget each year and has stayed within the existing tax rate during fiscally challenging times.

Third party auditors continually provide the college a “clean opinion” of Lewis and Clark’s accounting records through regular audits, and commend the college’s finance staff and the college for its fiscal management of taxpayer funds.

Additionally, Lewis and Clark consistently maintains one of the lowest unit costs in the state. A unit cost is the amount it takes to deliver one unit of academic instruction. For example, the college’s unit cost in 2011 was $190.21, compared to the state average, which was $215.86.

Lewis and Clark also seeks out alternative revenues and has been successful at offsetting costs through obtaining numerous competitive grants. In 2011 the college announced many state and federal grant awards such as a $250,000 National Endowment for the Humanities Grant; a nearly $2 million Title III grant and a $239,546 grant from IDOT and ICCB to establish the Highway Construction Careers Training Program.

Dance Theatre of Harlem Performs at L &C

T

he Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble performed for a packed house this fall in the newly renovated Hatheway Cultural Center at Lewis and Clark. A daytime lecture and performance and an evening performance were supported by the college’s Diversity Council and the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation, and offered for free to the public.

The Ensemble put on a dance and demonstration for area school children during the day, and in the evening presented a full length performance, which combined selections from the Dance Theatre of Harlem’s hallmark ballets.

“Two years ago the members of the college’s Diversity Council began talking with the Dance Theatre of Harlem. Recognizing that dance is one of the most exciting art forms, but one of the least accessible to American audiences, the council was eager to host a dance program. Arguably the oldest form of artistic expression, dance is probably best known in its edgy contemporary forms,” said Linda Chapman, vice president for Academic Affairs at L&C. The Dance Theatre of Harlem was founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell, an African-American ballet dancer, and ballet master and teacher Karel Shook.

From its beginnings – classes taught in a garage on 152nd Street in Harlem, the New York City community where Mitchell grew up – the Dance Theatre of Harlem has grown over the years to become the leading dance institution of unparalleled global acclaim that it is today. Leading artists such as Robert Garland, Alonzo King, Donald Byrd and Vincent Mantsoe are all Dance Theatre of Harlem alumni.

The institution currently comprises the Dance Theatre of Harlem School, a leading arts education center; Dancing Through Barriers, a national education and community outreach program, and the Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble, a national touring company.

The Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble was established in 2004 from leading participants in the Dance Theatre of Harlem School’s Professional Training Program, and began touring nationally under a “Dance for America” banner in 2009.

“We were so pleased to see the response of the community to this presentation,” Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman said. “It was a great opening act for our newly renovated facility just a week behind the building’s 24

official dedication. We received a great deal of positive feedback about the quality of this offering to the community, and I know the Foundation and the Diversity Council are looking forward to bringing more dance and diverse offerings such as this to the community on an annual basis.”

The Foundation

From the President

T

his year brought about some significant changes to the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation. In addition to adding five new board members and moving into a state-of-the-art meeting space in the newly renovated Hatheway Cultural Center, we also significantly increased our fundraising totals in all of our development initiatives, which in turn allowed us to award more scholarship assistance in Academic Year 2011-2012.

We are pleased to welcome to the board this year five individuals whose presence on our board will surely allow us to have an even greater impact on the region. Eric Gowin, a lifelong resident of Jerseyville and owner of Contegra Construction, and his wife Joan are both proud alumni of Lewis and Clark. They have two children, Katie and Ethan. Karla Teasley is the President of Illinois American Water and currently resides in Edwardsville. She and her husband Chuck have three children, and her middle child Morgan attended Lewis and Clark. Jay Churchill is the manager of ConocoPhillips Wood River Refinery. Jay is originally from Wisconsin and he and his wife, Ruth, have two grown sons who live outside the area. Michael Moehn is the Senior Vice President of Ameren Services. He is a graduate of Marquette Catholic High School, Lewis and Clark Community College, St. Louis University and Washington University. Tom O’Keefe is the President of Winchester. He has been with Olin Corporation since 1980 when he began as a supervisory trainee following his graduation from University of Missouri-Rolla (now Missouri University of Science and Technology) with bachelor’s and master’s Degrees in Metallurgical Engineering.

In addition to these new members, the Foundation and its staff have been hard at work this year to increase the funds coming into the Foundation. These efforts afford us more opportunities to increase scholarship assistance to students and to continue our cultural and beautification efforts on campus through the Monticello Sculpture Gardens. Our 2011 fund drives brought in an additional $12,714.33 in 2011, along with numerous unsolicited gifts we continue to receive each year from generous donors for scholarship endowments and cultural activity. Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation assets for 2011 totaled $12,127,372.

Numerous generous gifts throughout the year allowed us to provide a total of $133,742 in scholarship assistance in Academic Year 2011-2012. In addition, we were able to support the efforts of the annual First Night River Bend celebration in December, and we were pleased to bring the Dance Theatre of Harlem presentation as a free performance for the community in the fall.

Public art continues to be a focus for the Foundation as the Monticello Sculpture Gardens draw thousands of visitors to the Godfrey campus each year and raise the visibility of the campus throughout the state. We were pleased to receive the gifts of the Hillis Arnold scupltures this year, which we are proudly showcasing in the display cases outside of our new meeting room in the renovated Hatheway Cultural Center. Additionally, we were excited to see the Stephen DeStaebler scuplture entitled “Winged Figure Ascending” added to the newly created Bosque area outside of Hatheway. The figure is a fantastic focal point and greets those entering both Hatheway and the Trimpe ATC building.

We are truly grateful for the support we continue to receive from individuals and businesses in this community. Whether it’s annual giving support, or the support of one of our many fundraising initiatives such as Regatta, the Golf Tournament or Collage, we are thankful to those in the community who continue to show their appreciation for Lewis and Clark by supporting the Foundation and our efforts to continue to make Lewis and Clark a best-in-class higher education institution.

Sincerely,

Bill Schrimpf 2011 President, Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation 27

Regatta In 2011 the Foundation hosted the 3rd Annual Regatta boat races, where major sponsors competed in remote-controlled boat races around the Theodore Chapman Pond outside of Erickson Hall.

Collage The 2011 theme for the Foundation’s annual dinner and auction was “Classic Collage” and it was set in the newly renovated Hatheway Cultural Center. The art-deco inspired building provided the perfect backdrop for this homage to the early days of Collage, which celebrated its 38th year in 2011.

More than 225 people attended the event in the new Hatheway Gallery, and the event raised a record amount: $96,465.95. The money raised from this event supports the Distinguished

pre and post interviews with all of the boat pilots.

The Thunderboaters, an RC boat club from St. Louis, Mo., provided the instruction and pit crew support for our 10 pilots this year.

“This is a fun event that we always look forward to hosting,” Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman said. “We’ve been blessed with good weather each of the three years we have offered the boat races. The weather and the fun atmosphere always combine to ensure that everyone has a great time at the Regatta.”

Winners this year included Holmes Murphy (1st Place); Sheppard Morgan and Schwaab and Wegman Electric (2nd) and Dale Chapman and Robert Watson (3rd).

Accelerating Success

A

s the demand for highly qualified and degreed individuals increases throughout Illinois, more emphasis is being placed on the success of community college students. Soon a portion of Lewis and Clark’s state funding will be based on its demonstrated student completion rates. A recent report released by Illinois Lt. Governor Sheila Simon also calls for improved completion rates for all 48 community colleges across the state as a way to increase the number of Illinois residents with post-secondary degrees.

These initiatives are welcomed and encouraged at Lewis and Clark, which has long been dedicated to keeping students focused on learning and creating support systems that accelerate their success. Lewis and Clark is known as an innovator across the state for the support systems we have created and put in action to help students achieve their goals, faster.

Now more than ever, your ongoing annual giving efforts are crucial to helping more students achieve their post-secondary degrees. The funds raised through the Annual Giving campaign each year are used to provide scholarship assistance to students who graduate in the top 20 percent of their class. Your donation to the Annual Giving Fund helps provide financial assistance for proven academic performers from throughout the college district. The financial assistance these students receive through full scholarships helps keep them on the path to meeting their academic and career goals, and further allows Lewis and Clark to demonstrate its commitment to student completion and success.

To make a donation to the Foundation: Call: (618) 468-2011 Mail: Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation 5800 Godfrey Road Godfrey, IL 62035 Makes checks payable to LCCCF

Reasons to Give: • 100 percent of your gift funds scholarships for deserving area high school students • Your gift is tax deductible • Your gift is a fine example for our students to encourage them to “give back” once they become alumni • Last year your gift helped provide 15 full scholarships. We anticipate the number of qualified applicants will continue to increase this year. Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and will help us meet our goal to provide a larger number of scholarships.

Thank you for helping us build the necessary financial support to accelerate success for this growing number of academically talented students.
