In each of the positions I have held at the college I have had the opportunity to get to know the amazing students who transform their lives while they are here. I have also been privileged to work with an excellent group of people. From my years as a faculty member to my retirement, I have been blessed to learn and grow from my outstanding colleagues. While I am sad to leave, I am confident that the tradition of excellence and caring will continue at Lake Land College and thousands of students

To ensure a high quality of academic and educational programing at Lake Land College, the administration, faculty and staff have worked

together to implement a college-wide assessment program.

According to Lisa Madlem, professional development and assessment facilitator for the college, the assessment process at Lake Land is essential in order to make informed decisions that ultimately improve the teaching-learning process.

“Assessment seems fairly straightforward, but in reality, it is an involved process that systematically measures student performance in order to improve the quality of educational programs and the institution overall,” said Madlem. “This is a way in which educational professionals can be accountable for the education they provide students.”

Lake Land College uses institution-wide measures and program and course-specific measures to assess student outcomes. Learner outcomes have been established for each of the college’s associate degree and certificate programs, as well as all other courses.

“The methods of measurement for the learner outcomes were designed by the faculty to meet the specific needs of individual programs and courses,” explained Madlem. “Having each faculty member participate in this process brings in an expert perspective to ensure a high level of student performance.”

Beyond campus-wide processes, the college also reaches out to a variety of business and industry leaders who provide input on industry standards and changes so that the college maintains up-to-date, quality course offerings. Currently, Lake Land works with more than 200 area professionals and industry leaders who volunteer their time to ensure a high level of academic programs at the college. Known as Professional Advisory Committees, these groups support the growth and quality of nearly every program of study at Lake Land College.

According to Allen Drake, John Deere Tech instructor, the John Deere Tech Program at Lake Land works with over 25 industry professionals throughout east central Illinois to ensure the classes and curriculum are current.

“We meet with a variety of individuals who represent John Deere dealerships, employees, service technicians and managers to discuss each and every class,” said Drake. “This gives us input from a broad sector of the industry in order to ensure classes are the most up-to-date for our students.”

Because of information provided by the Professional Advisory Committee, the John Deere Tech program has implemented classes to include topics like Environmental Protection Agency regulations on diesel engines and global positioning systems on John Deere equipment.

“Sometimes you hear people say that education is a slow process, that we teach what was important 10 years ago,” said Drake. “With the assessment process at Lake Land and the Professional Advisory Committees, this allows us to be proactive and stay ahead of the curve.”

The Lake Land College General Education Task Force oversees the assessment of the general education program for all associate degrees at the college, and develops general education competencies which are aimed to provide students with learning experiences that are necessary to enable them to maintain responsible and satisfying relationships to society and the environment.

“This is a way in which educational professionals can be accountable for the education they provide students.” Lisa Madlem, professional development and assessment facilitator

Marshall resident returns to school with help from Lake Land’s

Work+Learn Program

“While we are currently a single income family, which makes things tight, the Work and Learn Program has given my wife the opportunity she’s always wanted, and for that, we’ll always be grateful.” Steve Wood

After 17 years of working in a factory, Kimberly Wood was browsing the Lake Land College

home page and found the sign she needed to return to school and earn a degree.

“The financial aspect of returning to school always stopped me before,” said Wood. “But, when I saw the link to the Work and Learn Program, I knew it was my turn.”

The Work and Learn Program, piloted in the fall of 2012, is an opportunity for unemployed or underemployed adults to earn a degree or career certificate tuition free. Students who are accepted into the Work and Learn Program work 10 hours per week on campus in a designated Work and Learn position and in turn, receive a full tuition waiver to attend Lake Land full-time.

Wood of Marshall, who is studying nursing, has been placed as the Trio Student Support Services Office Assistant through Work and Learn, where she completes general office tasks such as filing, answering and making phone calls, processing student applications and writing letters.

“Because of the employment opportunity through Work and Learn, I’ve really learned a lot,” said Wood. “I’ve gained a ton of computer skills and office skills that I didn’t regularly get to practice while working in the factory. I know that the skills I’ve gained through this opportunity, especially the computer skills, will help me in a healthcare environment once I graduate.”

Wood, who is a wife and mother of two children, said that while there are some challenges to returning to school, the benefits outweigh those challenges she

faces. She said that juggling family, work and school is sometimes trying, but that the biggest advantage for her is that she is finally doing what she’s always wanted to do.

“Some days I don’t know how I manage everything. I have to remind myself every day that I can do it and the challenges I face are worth the results,” said Wood. “I focus on my determination of being successful, and that’s what will get me through this hard work.”

Wood said that the support of her family also helps her stay focused on

reaching her academic and career goals. In fact, many evenings Wood’s 10-year-old daughter Katie helps her study.

“I think it’s important for my children to see me doing homework,” she said. “At first, they thought it was hilarious that mom had homework, too, but we’ve turned that time into family time and Katie will quiz me in biology, which turns it into a learning experience for her as well.”

Additionally, Wood’s husband Steve,

who is an alumnus of Lake Land and now works at Yargus Manufacturing in Marshall, said that he’s seen a change in his wife since she’s returned to school.

“Kim is more enthusiastic about things now since she’s doing what she wants to do,” he said. “After being in a factory for such a long time, it can take a toll on you. Since this new start for Kim, she’s happier and it’s really good for everyone.”

The couple agreed that without the tuition waiver from the Work and Learn Program, the possibility of Wood returning to school would have been much more difficult.

“While we are currently a single income family, which makes things tight, the Work and Learn Program has given my wife the opportunity she’s always wanted, and for that, we’ll always be grateful,” said Steve.

Check out the Lake Land College spring ball season!

Lake Land welcomes Coach Jackson to the fieldLate last summer, Lake Land College welcomed new head baseball coach Bill Jackson. who came from Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa after spending time as an associate head coach and infield and hitting coach.

“I’ve had high expectations about coming to Lake Land, and so far, during the short time I’ve been on campus, the support from the campus and community has been great, which is important to me as a coach,” said Jackson.

Jackson said he wants the program to be successful right away and has been working diligently over the past months to prepare for his inaugural season at Lake Land.

“The players have learned what hard work is,” said Jackson. “Hard work and determination is what will beat talent any day of the week.”

Jackson said that during his coaching career, he has aspired to coach for a team in the Great

Rivers Athletic Conference (GRAC), and Lake Land offered him the opportunity to do just that.

“GRAC is one of the top and toughest community college conferences in the nation, from a coaching standpoint,” said Jackson. “I’m looking really forward to being a part of it.”

In addition to his baseball coaching responsibilities, Jackson serves at the Trio Student Support Services Learning Skills Specialist. Jackson said that Trio is an important program and he’s seen the impact it’s had on some of his former players directly. While at Graceland University, Jackson worked with the CHARGE program, an off-shoot of the university’s Trio Student Support Services program.

“Overall I want to see students move on and succeed in both the baseball program and Trio and I’ll work hard to help them do that,” said Jackson.

Jackson has been married for five years to his wife Nicole and they have a one-year-old son, Dylan.

T he fall 2012 semester marked something exceptional in Lake Land College history. Of all of the

graduating seniors from the Windsor High School Class of 2012 who went on to pursue higher education, all 25 enrolled at Lake Land College!

According to Don Crawford, guidance counselor and dual credit instructor at Windsor High School, there are many reasons Lake Land appeals to graduates from Windsor.

“Here in Windsor, we’re a small school and the faculty members have a good sense of community and know the students and their families,” said Crawford. “With a student-to-teacher ratio of seven-to-one, I think many of the Windsor graduates looked to a college with that same supportive structure and closeness.”

Other factors, according to Crawford, include the support Windsor High School graduates receive financially in order to pursue a degree. There are two scholarship opportunities open to Windsor alumni and the children of Windsor alumni – the Smyser and Jones scholarships. Crawford said that most students who apply for the scholarships receive them, which greatly helps students pay for college. He said that the scholarship funding goes a lot further at Lake Land than any other institution. Students are eligible to reapply for these scholarships for a maximum of four years, essentially taking them through an undergraduate degree program.

In addition to a supportive setting and financial assistance, Crawford said that Lake Land is like a second campus to Windsor students by the time they graduate from high school.

“The students visit Lake Land many times during their high school career,” explained Crawford. “We attend a variety of events on campus, many of the students know someone who attends Lake Land, and we have a really strong dual credit program, so many students are actually earning college credit through Lake Land College before they graduate from high school.”

To know more about why Windsor loves Lake Land College, take a minute to meet some of the members of the Windsor Class of 2012 as they recap their first year on campus.

Meet Garret Haddock: Q: Who are some of your favorite LLC teachers?

A: Three teachers come to mind instantly–MattLandrus, my

composition instructor, Lara Bacino-Althaus, my social psychology instructor and Lucinda Horton, who I had for biology. They are all really great teachers and I had a lot of fun in each of their classes.

Q: What is one thing you like about Lake Land?

A: I felt comfortable the first day I came to class. I’d been on campus a lot before, but also I saw a lot of familiar faces from high school. The campus is small enough to see people you know, but big enough to meet new friends and find new interests.

Q: Are you involved in any extra-curricular activities?

A: Yes, I’m the freshman representative for the Student Government Association, I participate in the Tree Campus USA Project and I’m a member of SWAT, Students with a Testimony, a student club.

Windsor

Meet Adam Hostetter:Q: What is your major?

A: I was undecided for a while, but after an environmental science class with Jeff White, I’ve decided to pursue an associate degree in that.

Q: Why did you choose to come to Lake Land?

A: I already started at Lake Land through a political science dual credit class I took in high school. But more than that, it was the most affordable option for me. I received the Smyser Scholarship, which paid for my entire first year of college. That alone was a great advantage to Lake Land. Q: What is your favorite spot on campus?A: I like to eat lunch out by the West Building to watch the turbines. It’s a very picturesque scene.

Meet Mickie Baker:Q: Why did you choose to come to Lake Land?

A: Lake Land is the best fit for me for a lot of reasons. I work part-time in Shelbyville. So coming to Lake Land, allowed me

to keep my part-time job instead of looking for a new one. Also, it’s close to home which is important for me because I’m a big family person.

Q: What are your plans after graduation?

A: I would like to go straight to the workforce to use my associate degree in desktop publishing and graphic design. But, I’m also interested in cosmetology. So, I may come back to Lake Land for that program after I finish the one I’m currently in.

Q: How are you paying for school?

A: I received both the Smyser and Jones scholarships from Windsor High School, which was enough to pay for my first two semesters here at Lake Land.

Meet Carissa Forster and Kirisa Cook:Q: What is your major?

A [Carissa Forster]: I’m getting an associate degree in art to get more experience in the field before I transfer to Eastern Illinois University, where I would like to get a four-year degree.

Q: What do you like about Lake Land?

A [Kirisa Cook]: It’s a really nice campus and I’ve been able to meet a lot of other people with similar interests.

Q: As good high school friends, what do you like to do on campus together?

A: We like to hit up the Fitness Center after classes. It’s nice to have a workout partner and it’s even better to have a place to work out right here on campus.

Meet Christina Beck:Q: What was your first semester at Lake Land like?

A: It was really fun! I felt like I had a lot more freedom than high school. I got to choose classes best for my schedule and I decided to take 18 credit hours, which was a lot of work, but all of my teachers were very supportive. Because of that, I felt like I was very successful my first semester,

which has carried through for this spring semester.

Q: Why did you choose to come to Lake Land College?

A: It was affordable and close to home. Also, my brother, who came here, said that the instructors were really on top of things. Overall, I could live

at home to save money and still get an excellent education. Q: What are your plans after graduation?

A: I would like to transfer to Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Texas to pursue a degree in drama. Getting my core classes out of the way here at Lake Land will allow me to move right into the drama classes.
