Letter From The President Lewis and Clark enters 2018 with a great deal of optimism and momentum, following a strong 2017, highlighted by a number of strategic successes that you will read about in the pages that follow.

Through fiscal responsibility and without fanfare, Lewis and Clark weathered two consecutive years of severely diminished state funding by reducing total dependency on the state by more than 25 percent. Further demonstrating our positive financial track record, a third party audit resulted in zero findings, while the college received praise for its $1.2 million reduction in spending, the lowest in five years. All the while, the college continued to meet obligations to its employee groups and offer the highest of quality services to the district.

L&C’s 2017 freshman class, an impressive 1,860 students, topped freshman class sizes at Northern Illinois University (1,852), Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (1,797), SIU Carbondale (1,319), Western Illinois University (1,206) and Eastern Illinois University (634). The college is ranked the 12th largest of 22 higher education institutions in the St. Louis metropolitan area by the St. Louis Business Journal, educating 10,145 credit students and more than 15,000 total students annually.

Our continued $369.4 million economic impact on the region continues to be essential.

Increasingly, we are becoming known as experts in defining economic development needs throughout our region.

Our 43 career programs, guided by advisors who work in and lead the region’s workforce, ensure that students leave here with the skills they need for a successful career. We have 65 guaranteed transfer agreements with 28 colleges and universities, assuring transfer students, who represent 52 percent of the L&C student body, a smooth academic transfer.

The L&C National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRRECSM) contributes to the economic and environmental sustainability of the rivers and watersheds throughout our district. This year, we partnered with Riverside Research to launch a research pilot to improve water quality monitoring through the use of nanosatellite technology. In education, we expanded programming for teachers through the Swarovski Waterschool USA Mississippi River and teamed up with SIUE and the MJCH Foundation for a new “STEM Meets Humanities” initiative.

Through the Hatheway Cultural Center and Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities, L&C provides cultural programming across the spectrum. One standout this year was a forum, featuring basketball Hall of Fame legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which focused on addressing contemporary issues of polarization.

OUR MISSION...

To empower people by raising aspirations and fostering achievement through dynamic, compassionate and responsible learning experiences.

As president of Lewis and Clark Community College and on behalf of the Board of Trustees, faculty and administration, I want to express my appreciation for the commitment of the people and businesses of our district for their continued support for these programs and many more. With your continued support, we look forward to another banner year in 2018.

Dale Chapman President, Lewis and Clark Community College

Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation

29

Letter From the MJCHF President Innovation often happens in small, dynamic communities – and the Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities in Edwardsville is proof of that.

Under the prestigious Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation Board of Directors, assembled from leadership across the nation, we have geared up to start a revolution to keep us all safer and productive. And we have found the right partner in Lewis and Clark Community College.

Since December 2015, thousands of people from all walks of life have visited our headquarters on North Main Street in Edwardsville. We have also taken strides toward our mission in research, education and public engagement.

In the pages that follow, you’ll read some of the MJCHF’s highlights from the past year.

Among them was the MJCHF-sponsored International Symposium in Washington, D.C., which featured some of the nation’s top social scientists and engineers, the Palestinian Water Authority and the Israeli Water Authority, coming together to begin a collaboration on defining the problem of water access and health concerns along the Jordan River which flows through both regions.

The MJCHF also launched the newly-renovated Alma Irene Aitch STEM Center next door to headquarters this year, a step toward becoming a top science, technology, engineering and math center.

The seeds for the MJCHF were planted back in 2012 when Dr. Ed Hightower introduced me to Dr. Dale Chapman, and we arrived at the conclusion that our nation and region were facing a worsening humanities crisis that has trickled down to many communities.

We noted Flint, Ferguson, and Chicago – issues like water rights, nuclear proliferation and the impact of injustice, which are the bi-products of disparities of wealth and power. Our conclusion was that the most effective way to deal with these problems was a proactive process of research and leadership training.

The tone set by leadership is everything.

The humanities is about embracing respect, dignity, understanding, And forgiveness among people of different cultures, races and religions

The vision of the Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation is to greatly increase the number of enlightened leaders, and by doing so, raise the overall feeling of hope and awareness in our communities. These same leaders will eventually lead the dialog on the subjects of respect, dignity, understanding and forgiveness.

We want to facilitate a lasting process and eventually scale this non-profit concept nationwide.

The big winners will be the next generation, who are rightfully asking questions and speaking up about the problems we face. Real and lasting change will require more of us, especially those leaders among us, to step up and set the tone.

Thank you for your continued support of the Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities.

Sincerely,

Mannie Jackson

Mannie Jackson President Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities Foundation

Students convene at the MJCH to participate in discussions about how we must treat each other if we are to thrive as a democratic society. The students return to their schools to create a two-year research project in and an action plan to promote those discussions in their own communities, leading to positive community change. Students may earn up to $5,000 for their schools to fund these two-year research projects.

International Symposium The MJCH® initiated it’s first international symposia in Washington D.C., The Future of Transboundary Water Management – Empowering Informed Water Resources Policy and Practice with Big Data.

An impressive group of presenters talked about how the historically conflictburdened Jordan River region in the Middle East has developed a collaborative water production and exchange agreement between the Palestinians and the Israelis. This hopeful agreement highlights the necessity of taking into consideration not just the complexities of water production but also the history and culture of the people in the region and the morality of who gets water. This international issue has implications for the resolution of complex water rights negotiations in the Western United States and for the Mississippi River’s drought and water abundance cycles as other presenters made clear. These presentations made visible the array of humanistic work relating to the environment that is underway around the world and the nation. The humanities are central toresolving these fundamental issues of human survival.

THE L&C FOUNDATION

39

Letter From the L&C Foundation President I hope you enjoy reading this Annual Report, which looks back on the achievements of students, faculty, staff and donors in 2017. Please note the impact your support had on our students and campus. On behalf of the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation’s Board of Directors, thank you for your commitment to empowering people.

It has been my honor to serve as president of the board these last two years - possibly two of the most challenging fiscal years for the college, making the work of the Foundation that much more important. The American Community College System continues to build a nation of learners and leaders in an age when a post-secondary education is crucial and must be accessible. The following pages acknowledge those of us whose charitable giving helped students this past year.

In May 2017, more than 1,000 L&C graduates moved on to the next step in their academic journeys or started their careers. In the fall, 7,000 more students continued working hard on completing their educational goals. Thousands more accessed professional development, workforce and safety training, furthered scientific research, took advantage of intercollaborative healthcare services, and more - all through Lewis and Clark. All of these experiences lead to a more productive and vibrant place to live, work and visit, a feat which couldn’t be achieved without the partnerships and investments made by you, your family, friends and neighbors.

Our donor-supported list of scholarship recipients begins on page 30. The remaining pages list the donors who helped support them. Each student has a remarkable story to tell about their goals and aspirations, and the understanding that a Lewis and Clark education is a leap toward becoming who they want to be.

Scholarships have a direct impact on our students, as do your investments in our academic programs, arts and cultural offerings, emergency funds and campus life. Once again, thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Scholarships have a direct impact on our students, as do your investments in our academic programs, arts and cultural offerings, emergency funds and campus life.
