Lake Land College’s flexible summer options include a three-week intersession or a nineweek summer term, plus online and in-person classes. With this variety, you can easily maintain a summer job or keep up with your family’s schedule, while leaving some time for fun in the sun.
Full Circle is published each semester for the students and residents of Lake Land College District #517 by Marketing and Public Relations at Lake Land College, 5001 Lake Land Blvd., Mattoon, IL 61938. This magazine will introduce you to Lake Land College and provide you with resources to get started or continue your education with us.

fter 18 years of employment with the same company, Janette Beals no longer had a job. When AmPad in Mattoon shut its doors and transferred the machinery and production to Mexico, she suddenly and unexpectedly became a dislocated worker. “It was devastating to know I lost my job of almost 20 years,” said Beals of Lerna. “There was just a lot of the fear of the unknown and that I would be thrown in to who knows what kind of a situation.” As the factory began to transfer production abroad, professionals were brought in to help those employees who had been laid off adjust to life without work. According to Beals, that’s how she learned about the opportunity to go back to school through the Dislocated Worker’s Program, which paid for her tuition and fees to attend Lake Land College.
she would be older than most of her peers and that she wouldn’t be capable of completing the academic demands. “To my surprise, in all of my classes half of the other students were my age or older and for the first time in my life, I was recognized with academic honors, being named to the President’s List,” she explained. “Part of my success was because of my instructors. Lisa Earp and Kathy Daughtery in particular, often took their personal time to help me one-onone.” Since she wasn’t sure in which industry she would ultimately like to work, Beals decided to enroll in the general Office Technology Program. This short-term, certificate program can be tailored to fit the needs of a student with no previous office experience or a student who wants to upgrade skills. Students can choose from several courses to enhance or complement previous experience or training.
“Not only were some of my friends from the factory in a few of my classes, but the teachers were very knowledgeable and caring, almost like friends. They always had words of encouragement and offered endless support.” “I was terrified to go back to school, but I wanted something else in life,” explained Beals. “I didn’t do really well in high school, mostly because I didn’t care. But by going back as an older student, I cared a lot more. I was more responsible and better understood what having an education really meant.”
“Not only were some of my friends from the factory in a few of my classes, but the teachers were very knowledgeable and caring, almost like friends. They always had words of encouragement and offered endless support,” said Beals. For her, the biggest fear she faced about returning to school later in life was that

Beals said that it didn’t take too long for her fears to go away once she started classes at Lake Land. She enrolled in the Office Technology Program and quickly came to realize how comfortable Lake Land College was for her.
To earn this certificate program, Beals was required to complete an internship. She dropped off her resume and application materials at the Law Offices of Winter-Black and Baker in Mattoon and was offered the opportunity to do her internship there as a legal assistant. Upon completion of her internship, she was offered full-time employment with that law firm.

K
ari Moody had always toed the line. She grew up in O’Fallon, Ill., and followed in her family’s footsteps, attending college right after high school and graduating with a bachelor’s degree from Southern Illinois University – Carbondale. She went on to complete a master’s degree from McKendree University. She always held good, steady jobs, and eventually married and had a baby. She fit the traditional definition of success. But, there was something nagging her in the back of her mind. Then in 2010, when she was in between jobs after relocating to Sullivan, she approached a crossroad in her life. “There was a pause at that time in my life that allowed me to reflect on what I really wanted to do,” explained Moody. “I reflected on the time my father became sick and passed away, remembering how surprisingly peaceful and calm it was for my family. I credit the hospice nurses who cared for him with that. It was that time in my life that I realized I wanted to become a nurse. I wanted to bring that calm peacefulness to others in their times of need.” So Moody, who had been certain that after completing a master’s degree she was done with her educational journey, began to research nursing schools all across the state of Illinois. Through her research, she looked at board passage rates and clinical time available for students and decided that Lake Land College was the best fit for her. “I was open to either a bachelor’s degree or an associate degree in nursing,” said Moody. “But, an excellent nursing education was what I was after, and it turned out to be available in my backyard through Lake Land.”
In fact, her life now couldn’t be more complete. She works as a registered nurse at Sullivan Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, which is literally
Caring for the elderly population, she said, is challenging but highly rewarding and she feels as though she has found her niche in the nursing field. “I wanted the opportunity to build a career,” she said. “Working in geriatrics has given me that along with a strong sense of self-fulfillment. It might not be glamorous; it might not be a lot of people’s first choice; but it’s the field for me and I’m very happy with the decision I’ve made.” An unexpected perk to Moody’s new career choice is that she makes more money than she ever has before. “It amazes me because I stop and think to myself, ‘How can I go from having a master’s degree in this field, to an associate degree in this field, but bring home a lot more money?’” she said. Not to mention the fact that Moody and her husband were able to pay out-of-pocket for her Lake Land education, all the while she’s still paying off student loans from her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. According to Lake Land College President Josh Bullock, Moody is just one example of a graduate who benefits from a Lake Land education for a lifetime. “Kari’s story shows what we have known for quite some time – investing in an education at Lake Land College pays off immediately and continues to grow over an alumnus’ lifetime,” Bullock, said.
nursing Allied Health Division
According to the 2014 Economic Impact Study released by the Illinois Community College Board, graduates of Lake Land College Workforce Ready programs, such as the Associate Degree in Nursing program, can expect an average of $6,705 of additional income the first year after graduation and that number continues to grow each subsequent year. Furthermore, these graduates can expect to earn 39 percent more over their lifetime than those not completing a community college program. In fact, the average Lake Land graduate can expect to earn $506,000 more over a lifetime than a non-graduate.
“My career change means more flexible hours, more rewarding work, a supportive, structured work environment, endless career choices and opportunities, and a more lucrative paycheck! Really, looking back, this career change should have been a no-brainer,” she said.
