The Kaskaskia CollegeSalem Education Cen-ter has grown into a“one-stop shop” forboth students and

community members, according toSalem Center Director Janice Eis-chens.

Built based upon Kaskaskia Col-lege’s philosophy of “bringing educa-tion to the times and places conve-nient to the learner,” the Center hasexpanded both in size and in servicesoffered. The current location at 1475W. Whittaker has five classrooms, allequipped with smart room technology,a state-of-the-art computer lab, atutoring room, a wet (science) lab, anindustrial/health occupation lab, and aconference room. Its open computerlab is in constant use from the timethe doors open until closing with bothstudents and individuals from thecommunity coming in to access freecomputer time. The conference roomand the multipurpose room, which canbe opened up to accommodate up to50 people, has become a favorite forcommunity groups and organizationsto hold their meetings.

In addition, several start-up busi-nesses call the Center home, under theSmall Business Incubator Program,which allows for some area startups tolease offices at the Education Centersfor a period of up to three years, whilethe staff at the Center make them-

selves available for questions and areeager to help in any way they can.

Along with the expansion of theSalem Center and the services it offerto the community, recent changeshave allowed for an expansion of theCenter’s educational opportunities itoffers to students. Under an agree-ment signed earlier this year,Kaskaskia College is now able tooffer full degree programs at each ofits Education Centers, where beforeonly half of the credit hours neededfor a degree could be earned off cam-pus. With the advent of online classes,in which students need only computerand Internet access to attend classes,and distance learning classes throughthe College’s network of distancelearning classrooms, Salem, as well asother Education Centers, can nowoffer much more programming thanwhat was available when every classmeant a rigid schedule of face-to-faceclass meetings.

Perhaps the hallmark for this at theSalem Center is the new degreeoffered in Paramedicine, which gradu-ated its first class in the spring. Lucin-da Spencer, Coordinator for the Para-medicine program, has her office inthe Salem Center, from which shecoordinates Paramedicine classes,including CPR classes, at the SalemCenter as well as other EducationCenters and the Main and Vandalia

Laura Dunn ofXenia, a recentgraduate of theKaskaskia Col-lege Dental

Assisting Program, was awardedtwo prestigious scholarships; onefrom the American Dental Asso-ciation in the amount of $1,000and one from the American Den-tal Assistants Association for$750.

“She is so deserving,” KC Pro-fessor and Director of the DentalAssisting Program LorraineSchmidt said. “Laura goes aboveand beyond on any task that isassigned to her. It is gratifying tome personally and for the pro-gram to have these deserving stu-dents recognized for their excel-lence.” Another student, MelissaHately of Highland, also receivedthe $750 ADAA scholarship.

These scholarships are verycompetitive. Each accredited den-tal assisting school may submitonly one application for the ADAscholarship, and Laura was cho-sen as one of ten recipients fromthe 278 eligible schools listed bythe ADA. The ADAA scholarship

also has ten recipients, andKaskaskia College studentsearned two of them, which is atestament to the quality of theprogram.

Laura was initially unsure ofherself as a student in the DentalAssisting program, and creditsKC and Lori Schmidt for helpingher realize that she has the poten-tial to do a great amount of goodin the world. “I told Lori I want-ed to become a dentist,” Laurasaid, “and she was so encourag-ing and helped me so much.”

Laura now has big plans forthe future. She has enrolled in thePre-Dentistry program at South-ern Illinois UniversityEdwardsville for the Fall semes-ter, with the aim of becomingfirst a dentist and eventually anoral surgeon. “I would like tospecialize in facial trauma,” Lau-ra said, “and volunteer some ofmy services to Smile Train eachyear.”

Smile Train is an internationalcharity devoted to repairing thecleft palates of children in under-developed areas around theworld. Students are introduced toSmile Train early in the programat KC, and Lori Schmidt and her

students hold a number offundraisers throughout the schoolyear to collect money for thecharity. “Our students have raisedenough money each of the pastthree years to repair the cleftpalates of two children per year,”Schmidt said. “It makes me veryproud to see these students takeon a cause like this and work tomake the world a better place. It

fits with what we work to instillin our students, the Core Values.”KC’s Core Values are Honesty,Respect, Fairness, Compassionand Responsibility.

College Horticulture Program.The program offers an Associateof Applied Science Degree aswell as a one-year CertificateProgram.

Horticulture incorporates manydiverse disciplines, ranging fromgreenhouse management to land-scape design and maintenance tofloral arranging and more. Pro-fessor Jennifer Heinzmann feelsthat the program offers manyaspects of horticulture field.

The job outlook is good forgraduates with degrees and cer-tificates in Horticulture. Accord-ing to Heinzmann, the outlook isfor above average job growth inmost areas of Horticulture. Onearea she is especially excitedabout is Landscape Design. “Weare using software now that

allows a designer to take a photo-graph of an existing landscape,remove unwanted aspects, addplantings and architectural ele-ments, and give clients a tangibleway of seeing how a proposeddesign will look before workbegins. In a slow economy, suchas we are currently experiencing,this allows property managersand home-sellers to enhance thecurb appeal of their properties,giving prospective buyers a greatfirst impression.” Aside from thebusiness aspect, landscape designhas another attraction, accordingto Heinzmann. “Well designedlandscapes can not only be beau-tiful, but calming as well. Help-ing people create a peacefulplace is so rewarding,” she said,“it makes the hard work worth-while.”

Recent Horticulture Programgraduate Linda Duncan of Car-lyle says, “The Horticulture Pro-gram was a great learning experi-ence and as a non-traditional stu-dent I felt accepted and chal-lenged! The various classes in theHorticulture program were inter-esting and fun. I’ve always had apassion for growing plants andgardening and after completingthe Horticulture program I nowhave the education to excel in it!”

The Horticulture program isnot just for certificate or degreeseekers. Many students who areenrolled in other programs findHorticulture classes to be arewarding elective. These stu-dents take individual classes inareas that interest them, learninghome gardening, how to propa-gate bedding plants, creating flo-ral arrangements, etc.

ment for adjunct faculty and pro-vide face-to-face time withdepartmental representatives, aswell as to share valuable informa-tion pertaining to KC’s policies,procedures and instructionalprocesses. 33 adjunct faculty and15 staff and full-time facultyattended the academy.

In its quarterly report, Title IIIupdated the Board of Trustees onseveral exciting ongoing initia-tives. Retention Alert was a TitleIII purchase made in the fall on2012 and has made great stridesin helping students in need of spe-cial assistance get help faster.Whether that means tutoring orfinancial aid a retention alertplaced by a faculty member canallow the Success Center to inter-vene and keep KC students ontheir academic paths. Title III wasalso able to report another suc-cessful Summer Institute, whichwas held on campus in May. Theyhad record breaking attendanceand had excellent feedback fromattendees. The Summer Institutewas kicked off by the graduationof those who participated inTeachership Academy over the2012-2013 academic year. Thisgroup comprised of both full-timeand adjunct faculty presentedtheir final projects and then cele-brated with a graduation ceremo-ny.

The Board also heard a reportthat throughout the summer,Community Engagement meet-ings were held in Nashville, Tren-ton, Greenville, Vandalia andSalem. The meetings were attend-ed by Dr. Underwood, Bill Haw-ley, members of the KC adminis-tration as well as local communi-ty members. Each meeting was asuccess and many great program-ing ideas as well as many wel-

coming ideas for the future werediscussed.

The Board approved a resolu-tion to approve the use of excessProtection, Health and Safety(PHS) funds. The College sees aneed for the following repairs andalterations of facilities ofKaskaskia College: FlooringImprovements for areas that poseas a trip hazard; HVAC Repairsthroughout the Main Campus;Fire Suppression System for theAutomotive Collision TechnologyPaint Booth; and Abatement ofasbestos from the restroom watervalves. It was noted that in Octo-ber 2011, the Board approved theRestroom Renovations Phase IIproject at an estimated cost of$546,000 as part of PHS fund forfiscal year 2013 and the Collegenow requests that the excessfunds from this project, estab-lished at approximately $200,000to be reallocated for use on theprojects set forth.

The Board also approved a res-olution for approval of BondReallocations. A proposed fund-ing model including bond fundsand fundraising campaigns hasbeen established and wasapproved for five projects by theCollege Board in November2011. Given the unexpected avail-ability of the State Animal Dis-ease Lab Building which can nowbe utilized for the KC’s Agricul-tural Education Center, the Col-lege can now re-allocate bondfunds and re-structure fundraisingcampaigns. Projects include Nurs-ing Building, Agriculture Educa-tion Center, Crisp TechnologyCenter, Trenton Education Center,and Nashville Education Center.

The Board approved a resolu-tion for approval of addition ofthree alternates to the Trenton

Education Center Project. Giventhe unexpected availability of theState Animal Disease Lab Build-ing which can now be utilized forthe KC’s Agricultural EducationCenter, the College can now re-allocate bond funds and re-struc-ture fundraising campaigns.Therefore, it was recommendedthat an additional $172,200 beallocated from bond funds tocomplete the following threealternates which were originallyexcluded from the Trenton Pro-ject. These alternates includeAlternate A1 which includes threeincubator offices, a workroom, anadditional office which may beused by the Small BusinessDevelopment Center, and the con-ference room; Alternate A5 for afourth classroom; and AlternateA6 for an entry canopy.

The Board approved a resolu-tion for the approval to proceedwith bid specifications andfinancing arrangements for thepurchase of buses for the athletedepartment. The athletic depart-ment has identified a need foradditional options for transporta-tion for their teams to travel tocompetitions. It is recommendedthat a 35 passenger bus and a 15passenger bus be purchased. TheKC Sports Association (KCSA)has identified bus purchases as aproject they will support to a levelof $90,000 and have also agreedto provide $50,000 of this totalinitially to be used as a down pay-ment on the purchase. The KCAthletic Department has commit-ted to raising $30,000 per year forthree years totaling an additional$90,000.

In personnel action, Boardapproved the resignation ofMatthew Lindow as the Commer-cial Custodial Instructor at the

Centralia Correctional Center andLisa Collier as the Director ofFinancial Aid. The Board alsohired Wadella Nagai of Centraliaas a temporary instructor for theCommercial Custodial Instructorat the Centralia Correctional Cen-ter.
