Answering the Call Flyer/Invitation (digital/print) – Created to invites community members, JC students and employees to attend a screening of the documentary film and view a display of historical artifacts from the Pond and Maher families. The film and the display is the work of Jackson College students working through the Heritage Center.

ANSWERING the callA memorial to Lt. Zenneth Arthur Pond

Bill Maher

Zenneth Pond

Join us

J A C K S O N C O L L E G E P R E S E N T S

as we explore the friendship between Lt. Zenneth Arthur Pond and Captain

William J. Maher, with this tribute to the Pond family – whose story is our

story, the story of America.

In 2016, a group of college students pored through journals, tax

records and antique photos as they researched Michigan settlers.

Time after time they returned to an 1840 cobbler’s diary belonging

to Josiah Pond, with the penciled command, “Remember me!”

Josiah was the great-great-grandfather of Jackson Junior College

student and World War II hero, Lt. Zenneth Pond.

Students learned about the Pond family, who crossed the ocean with

Winthrop, crossed the Delaware with Washington, associated with

Abraham Lincoln, and were among the first to purchase land in

Jackson County, Michigan. They learned of his college friend, Bill Maher,

whose Irish ancestors – Edward, Thomas and Hugh Turney – worked

their way down the Great Erie Canal for a piece of Michigan soil and a

future for their children.

Like their ancestors, these young men dreamed of new frontiers.

• Carefree and confident, William Maher lived a full life and

inspired many.

• Weathered beyond his years by war, Zenneth died in his youth

while flying over the Pacific.

William Maher never forgot his friend, Zenneth Pond, and spent a lifetime

keeping the memory of his classmate alive. Now, their story lives on.

June 146 - 8 p.m. | 244 W. Michigan Avenue | Jackson, MI 49201

The afternoon will include…

• Screening of “Answering the Call: A Memorial to Jackson Junior College Student Lt. Zenneth Arthur Pond”

• Two over-sized genealogy quilts showcasing the Maher and Pond families

• Artifacts from the 1600s highlighting the history of the Pond family and early settlers

For more information please contact Diana Agy at [email protected].

PEI graduates take new steps at Jackson College commencementMay 10, 2018

From a corrections facility to commencement ceremony, six students from Jackson College’s Prison Education Initiative recently walked across the Potter Center stage as part of the 2018 graduation.


Now released on parole, graduates are looking to the future and are thankful for the opportunities available through the PEI. Attending classes and doing homework allowed many to focus on improving themselves, fulfilling goals they may have thought out of reach and helping them to believe in themselves. Education also helped them focus their minds on something positive, a necessary distraction from the negatives going on around them in a prison environment.

“I knew I needed something to change my life. I saw information about PEI, and I thought I could change my life to be a successful person when I came back into society,” one student noted.

Taking classes while incarcerated helped ease the transition back to society after release for many of the graduates, and the opportunity to participate in commencement was wonderful. Some have found careers, while others are continuing their education and making plans to transfer to university.

The goal of the Prison Education Initiative is to reduce recidivism rates by providing college education that can lead to productive careers upon release. It helps students build new lives through education. Over the last two years, PEI has had nearly 90 students complete a degree or certificate program. Director Bobby Beauchamp said they expect 40 graduates for upcoming graduations taking place in the next month inside the corrections facilities. There are currently 90-plus incarcerated students who are members of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and many incarcerated students have been recognized on the Dean’s List.

Jackson College has been educating incarcerated students through the Michigan Department of Corrections since 2012, and has a history in the past of educating incarcerated students. The College currently has more than 600 students enrolled in the Prison Education Initiative. Today the program is offered at four state facilities, including the women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility, and one federal facility. Students may earn college credits toward a General Transfer Certificate, a Business Administration Certificate, Business Administration Associate in Applied Science, Associate of Arts, and/or an Associate in General Studies degree._________________________________

They look forward to sharing some existential, improvisational, and recognizable tunes dating back to the 1930s, all the way to Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, Herbie Hancock and beyond.

Trombonefest on June 17 – Now in its 34th year, and following an exciting 2017 performance at JC, Trombonefest truly offers something to every musician and music fan. This year, works by Beethoven and Pachelbel will be presented, along with some of last year’s favorites including Bruno Mars and Santana. New to the list will be music by Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, and a special appearance by some of the orphans from the Jackson Autism Support Network production of “Annie” who will steal your hearts!

Jackson College Community Concert Band Pre-Fourth of July Concert on June 21 – Works by John Philip Sousa, Edwin Bagley, John Barnes Chance, Francis McBeth, Glen Miller, Malcolm Arnold…and even a Tina Turner/Celine Dion-inspired


arrangement of “River Deep, Mountain High” featuring Karen Kidder Barrett of Alibi fame, fit our theme: “music that is appropriate to play outside.”

Capital City Brass Band on June 26 – Featuring professional musicians from Jackson, Lansing, and all areas in-between, the award-winning Capital City Brass Band will again wow the audience with technical proficiency, inspiring sound quality, and a little musical trick-of-the-trade: intonation.

Students will experience musical and marching instruction and culminate with participation in the Hanover-Horton Fourth of July Parade!

Young musicians who are beginning- to fourth-year band students, ages 8 and up, are invited to participate (those with younger children with prior experience may contact Director Dan Bickel to discuss options). Campers will benefit from guided instructional time to improve on their instruments while playing a variety of fun literature, technical exercises, “board songs” (“I Like to Move It,” “7-Nation Army,” “Agent P.” and requests possible), as well as the basics of marching. There will be full concert band rehearsals, small-group sessions and marching sessions daily. High school musicians interested in pursuing secondary instruments are also invited to attend. Note names, scales, reading music and fingerings will become easier, making future musical experiences more rewarding.


Camp will run from 9 a.m. to 12 noon each day in the Ruth Day Theatre, Potter Center on Jackson College’s Central Campus. Cost is $75 per student for all 10 days. Breakdown of the schedule is as follows:

June 21-22, Camp Kickoff, Thursday & FridayJune 25-30, Monday-FridayJuly 2-4, Monday-Wednesday, ending with parade performance in Hanover

Parents, high school instrumentalists and college students who are able to sit in with the group or lead sectionals may contact Director Dan Bickel, [email protected]. High schoolers can often use the time to count as volunteer hours toward graduation or other volunteering requirements.
