KLUTHE CENTER UPDATES
ENHANCE STUDENT EXPERIENCES
NURSING STUDENTS RETURNED
to the Kluthe Center this fall to a newly renovated lab space that had doubled in size as well as being upgraded to provide better functionality. Nursing continues to be one of the center’s most popular programs and the lab space had been in need of an update. “We are very excited about the new nursing lab and the functionality it provides as students work with a variety of tools in their hands-on labs,” Director of Effingham Education Centers Kellie Niemerg said.
Made possible with bond funds left over from other projects, the renovation was one of several long-awaited updates completed at the Kluthe Center this past year while most students were taking classes online.
“The Kluthe Center is offering test proctoring services on Monday and Wednesday afternoons as well as Tuesday evenings in hopes to accommodate students who are needing to test and work during the day.”
In addition to facility upgrades, Effingham area students seeking to take placement tests or have a test proctored for an online class can now do so on site at the Kluthe Center as staff members have been trained to administer the tests.
Several other cosmetic and functionality upgrades have been made at the center, including new concrete on the southwest side of the building, new table and chairs in the student lounge, new blinds in all the rooms, new chairs in the science lab, new task chairs in two computer labs and more to come.
“We are happy to offer test proctoring and placement test services at Kluthe,” Angela Parr, administrative assistant to the Kluthe Center, said.
“We are very excited to offer all of these updated resources and amenities for our students, faculty and staff,” Niemerg said.
