Building for the future was the theme of the 2012-2013 academic year as we initiated plans for several new construction and renovation projects at Copiah-Lincoln Community College.
From the President
The need to constantly repair and renovate an aging Wesson Campus was impacted by several grants this year including a Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation wellness grant that was used to renovate our track for campus and community use. CoLin also received a $1 million federal DOT grant to convert Co-Lin drive into a pedestrian walkway for our students and staff. Another project that finally kicked off this year was the long awaited restoration of Ellzey Hall. Crews moved on campus to begin the external restoration of one of our college’s original buildings. Later this year, we expect to start construction on a new instructional building for our Early Childhood Development program. We are also involved in pre-planning construction of a new women’s dormitory and hope to have financing lined up for that project at this time next year.
Dr. Ronald E. Nettles, President

It was a year of success for our athletic programs proving once again that having a courageous heart and dedication are important when competing against teams with larger enrollment and better facilities. One of the highlights of the year for me as President was to have the opportunity to be on the field after our Co-Lin Wolves football team won their first state championship since 1985. I was very proud of how our team and
coaches represented the college in what was truly a miracle season for our team. We also had state championships in women’s basketball and men’s golf as well as individual state championships in women’s tennis. Just as important, three of our athletic teams finished the year ranked in the “top two” nationally in academics. The faculty and staff at our three campuses continued to do great work to benefit our students. Not only were they involved in our campus work, but many were actively involved in various academic, economic, and community organizations. A description of many of their activities and accomplishments is included in this President’s Report. In 2012-2013, the Co-Lin Foundation experienced one of its best years ever in collecting donations and gifts to benefit the college. Our Foundation assets now total almost $7 million and provide a needed financial resource to Co-Lin. It is my hope all of our Co-Lin supporters and alumni will continue to assist our college’s growth and develop through their donations to the Foundation. As college President, I am very proud of all that has been accomplished this past year, and I look forward to the years ahead. All of us at Co-Lin are optimistic about the future and are committed to providing quality education and support services to the students and communities we serve.
Student Life Co-Lin makes the health, wellbeing, and safety of our students, faculty, and staff a priority. Student clubs and organizations play an active role on campus, in the community, and beyond. Wesson Campus Events and activities were held during Welcome to Campus Week, Homecoming Week, and Spring Fling Week. Other events included a Gospel Fest, Veterans Day program, Rock Wall, and Wellness Week.

Batson Children’s Hospital Toy Drive, Mississippi Toughest Kids, American Heart Association, Rockin’ Railroad Festival, March of Dimes, Relay for Life, Ole Brook Festival, blood drives, Coach to Cure MD, and Breast Cancer Awareness. Natchez Campus The Natchez Campus sponsored “Co-Lin Salutes Veterans,” which included a Veterans Day Program for the MissLou area, a highly successful drive for items for soldiers overseas and at the G. V. “Sonny” Montgomery Veterans Medical Center in Jackson.

Career, Technical, and Workforce Education It has been an incredible year filled with transformation and many accomplishments. The Career, Technical, and Workforce Education Division (CTWE) remains dedicated to the mission of improving the lives of our students and community members by preparing our students and trainees to compete in a 21st century workforce. Funding The division received approximately $108,405 in Perkins federal funds this year. Funds were used to purchase equipment for many programs on the Wesson and Natchez campuses and the Simpson County Center. The college was part of nine community colleges in Mississippi and Louisiana who have received a $14,710,837 award through the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCT) Grant Training Program. Co-Lin received $886,965 to implement the Retraining the Gulf Coast Workforce through Information and Industrial Technology (IT) Pathways, which is a new, state-of-the art program aimed to assist displaced and unemployed workers as well as students without a high school diploma to complete a college credential, certificate, or degree. Completion of the program leads to a marketable entry-level certification and lattices into multiple in-demand IT specialty pathways and certifications in Health Information, Computer Networking, Electronics, Cyber Security, Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC), Precision Machining Technology, Welding, and Automation and Control. Students will have access to multiple entry and exit points along their chosen pathway and will receive a number of support services throughout enrollment, including career counseling, advising, and case management. Targeted credentials include Computer Support Specialist, Medical Records Specialist, and Network Security Specialist. Industry-recognized certifications include A+, Network+, Security +, Health Information Technology (HIT), NIMS, and NCCER Core. 6
The 2013 Job Fair, sponsored by Co-Lin’s Workforce Education Division, took a new approach with three sessions determined by career pathways which were held over the two-day event. Many Co-Lin students and members of the general public were seen completing applications and had the opportunity to set-up future interviews.
Additionally, in partnership with Co-Lin’s Adult Basic Education division, the CTWE division received a $15,680 Project Success grant from the Mississippi Community College Board. One main outcome for this funding is to provide tuition, fees, and other support services for 20 female students who are participating in the TAACCCT grant. Additionally, funding from this project will be used to increase the percentage of females earning a self-sufficient wage as a result of earning a degree or certificate in one of the college’s TAACCCT programs. Finally, the CTE division received a $15,000 grant, the College and Career Readiness Grant, from the Mississippi Department of Education. These funds were used to build and sustain relationships with secondary counterparts to ensure learning opportunities for secondary students, teachers, counselors, and administrators. Specifically, these funds were used to host a variety of conferences aimed to introduce
students to educational programs that are offered at Co-Lin, as well as to get students focused on completing the right courses in high school to get them ready for success after high school. Innovation Throughout the past year, administrators and instructors from the division have worked to convert two existing CTE programs. The Food Production Technology program was converted to Culinary Arts Technology program. This program will be offered on the Wesson and Natchez campuses. This leadingedge program provides a solid foundation in the methods and science of cooking through exposure to classical, American, and international cuisine as well as the art of baking. Students who complete the Culinary Arts Technology program are eligible to obtain a ManageFirst Professional Credential certificate from the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation In addition, students completing this
program will be eligible to obtain ServSafe certification from the National Restaurant Association. Improving Partnerships In the fall, Lincoln County School District’s eighth and ninth graders participated in Co-Lin’s Pathways Accelerating Careers, or PAC, Conference on the Wesson Campus. Co-Lin teachers and students spoke and put on demonstrations about college programs and what kinds of careers a student could expect after completing the courses. Students learned about robotics, medicine, drafting, engineering, automotive services, truck driving, welding, and electronics. Future plans will expand this opportunity to students in all school districts and at the Natchez Campus and Simpson County Center. Over 200 10th-12th graders attended the Scrubs and Scopes Medical Camp. Students toured all medical-related careers on campus. This camp was sponsored by a grant from the MS Department of Education and King’s Daughters Medical Center (KDMC). Steven Esch, Diesel Instructor; Pam Reid, Humanities Division Chair; and Nicole Donald, English Instructor met throughout the year to discuss the progress made and positive outcomes of the CTE/Academic Community Teaching Project. In this project, Ms. Donald taught an English Composition I class to Diesel Technology Students and Mr. Esch integrated and reinforced the academic content in his classroom. Many students wrote their final paper, a comparison and contrast essay, about their technical skill. Students then moved to a CLIC B class, where Mrs. Reid continued integrating skills content into her speech classroom. Overall, the class was a huge success. Accreditation The Medical Laboratory Technology received an excellent site visit from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). The accrediting board of NAACLS met, and the MLT Program application for continued accreditation was reviewed for final action. The Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) notified the college that the Respiratory Care Technology program is in compliance with program outcomes that have met or exceeded all currently set “thresh-
olds” for success on each of the required outcome measures according to accreditation standards and CoARC Accreditation Policies and Procedures.

Community Programs The Division of Community Programs strives to promote relevant, excellent, and affordable programs and services for individuals seeking improved quality of life through lifelong learning. The division provides educational and training programs, cultural and recreational opportunities, and employment preparation services to constituents from the college service area and beyond. This year, over 12,800 individuals were assisted through the various programs and services provided within the division. Adult Basic Education (ABE) served over 687 adults and partnered with eight locations to provide 20 class options and 21,454 classroom hours. Six hundred two students took the General Education Development Test (GED) with 194 passing the examination. GED graduations were held on the Wesson Campus and at the Simpson County Center. An authorized PearsonVue testing center has been established on the Wesson campus to deliver the computer-based GED that will be offered in 2014. The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) provided employment training services to 77 participants within the thirteen counties served. SCSEP also formed a partnership with 77 non-profit and government agencies who served as hosts for trainees. The program has proven to be successful year after year, by providing the high-quality job training needed to promote economic self-sufficiency for older individuals wishing to re-enter the workforce. The Billy B. Thames Conference Center is used by individuals for private events and local businesses, industry, educational, and civic groups. The Thames Center contracted with 17 new clients during the year and scheduled approximately 570 events with approximately 12,000 participants in attendance. Events held were multi-day conferences, workshops, computer training, luncheons, banquets, receptions, and overnight accommodations.

Buildings and Grounds Several renovation projects and building improvements highlighted 2012-2013. The Bureau of Buildings and Grounds approved a bid of $1.3 million to renovate Ellzey Hall on the Wesson Campus. Phase I will include a complete demolition of the interior of the building, repointing of the original brick, and replacement of a pitched roof. When funded, Phase II will completely re-purpose the building as a modern classroom and office building. A $464,000 renovation of the kitchen and serving area in the Henley Cafeteria was completed in the summer of 2012.
The Home Depot Foundation, through its Celebration of Service Grants Program, has awarded $5,000 to the college to upgrade the Veterans Memorial Garden and Flag Plaza in front of the Evelyn Oswalt Library. New stage lighting was added to the auditorium in the Maggie Ewing Fine Arts Building during the spring of 2013. In the fall, the college will utilize Bureau of Buildings and Grounds funds to replace $600,000 worth of mechanical equipment to reduce energy consumption. In addition, the college will also re-roof Ellis Hall and install a fire suppression system this year. Other projects to be completed this year include a new parking lot at the Simpson County Center, a new ventilation system in the Welding lab at the Natchez Campus, new fire hydrants, and new roof on the Youngblood Building on the Wesson Campus.
The college completed an $83,000 ADA renovation of the Anderson Building in the summer of 2012. The college received a $110,000 grant from the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation to fund the Wolfpack Wellness Initiative. The Initiative has two primary project goals, to increase the cardiovascular wellness options including a lunchtime walking program through construction of stretching and circuit training stations on the college nature trail. The grant funds were also used to resurface the college track, which is very popular to both staff and community members and has become in disrepair due to lack of local funds. Special walking zones were created throughout the campus and labeled to be able to make regular walks around campus while keeping up with the number of miles walked. The grant funds were also used to promote healthy dining options in the college’s foodservice locations.
(Above) Central Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall (left) presented Co-Lin President Dr. Ronnie Nettles (right) with a $1 million federal grant through the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) for the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) at a groundbreaking ceremony held on the college’s Wesson Campus. The TAP program works with local public agencies such as municipalities and community college districts to construct, plan and design facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists and other non-motorized forms of transportation. A pedestrian corridor will be constructed on the Wesson Campus that will upgrade and re-establish walking access to the historic sections of the campus. The project will make several health, fitness and recreational areas and activities on campus safe and easily accessible to the citizens of the Town of Wesson and to the college population. This includes pedestrian walkways, landscaping and connectivity to the city through existing pedestrian walkways and paths. Looking on is Wesson Mayor Alton Shaw.
