From the President

orty years ago Lewis and Clark Community College was formed and started its first fall semester with 450 students. Today, we are proud to serve more than 26,000 students annually through our credit, non-credit and workforce training programs. We celebrated the past four decades of success in 2010 with a few new achievements. You’ll see in the pages that follow how much change a year can bring to the campus of Lewis and Clark. Just to name a few of this year’s highlights: we completed and dedicated the Costello Confluence Field Station, started renovation and construction work on Hatheway Cultural Center, realized our significant economic impact on the district, earned a fourth place national finish for our men’s basketball team, began competing in Division I in men’s and women’s basketball and soccer, were named a Military Friendly School, established a Student Success Center to focus on student completion and retention, marked 15 consecutive years of enrollment growth, became one of the first community colleges to complete a climate action plan to reduce our carbon footprint, launched a new website, added three new sculptures with support from the Foundation, awarded more than 100 scholarships to students; and the list goes on… No, this isn’t a list from the past 40 years. It merely represents the type of progress we make each year thanks in part to the achievement-driven faculty, staff and administrators who all believe in the mission of Lewis and Clark. Forty years have indeed brought about a great deal of change to the college. We’ve added new community education centers, new campuses, new buildings, new academic programs and numerous outreach initiatives. We are proud of our achievements over the past forty years, but more importantly we are proud of the successes of our 39,288 graduates – many of whom still live and work in this community. To say we have grown up over the past four decades is an understatement. And although we are not “over the hill,” we are picking up speed and momentum and looking forward to the milestones the next 40 years will bring. Sincerely,

Dr. Dale Chapman 3

Celebrating 40 Years of Success

L &C Recieves MetLife Foundation Award

n the Spring of 2010, Lewis and Clark’s Family Health Clinic was named a winner of a number of awards totaling $125,000, and the Nursing program received its maximum eight-year accreditation from the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission, Inc. (NLNAC) Most recently, the clinic was named the 2010 winner of the prestigious MetLife Foundation Community College Excellence Award for Innovation and a $50,000 grant. Earlier in the semester, the Kresge Foundation awarded the clinic and Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation (SIHF) a $75,000 Safety-net Enhancement Initiative grant to help improve disparities in several local counties. The MetLife Award recognized Lewis and Clark in the Service through Innovation category for delivering healthcare to the underserved areas of the community while training future nurses. The $75,000 Safety-net Enhancement Initiative grant will be used by the clinic and SIHF to develop a strategy aimed at reducing health disparities in Calhoun, Jersey, Greene, Macoupin and northern Madison counties. The partnership will integrate SIHF’s primary care services with Lewis and Clark’s Family Health Clinic and its academic setting to create a unique healthcare delivery model. “Lewis and Clark’s Family Health Clinic is not only unique in the healthcare it delivers to the growing number of underserved and uninsured residents of our region, it’s also unique in that it provides a clinical practice learning environment for community college nursing students,” Lewis and Clark Board Chairman Robert L. Watson said. To receive NLNAC accreditation, the nursing education unit’s mission must reflect its overall organization’s core values, strategic goals and objectives, and the organization and program must have the administrative capacity to result in the effective delivery of the program and achieve positive outcomes. Lewis and Clark’s Nursing program outcomes speak for themselves. Graduates consistently score above state and national average with an average pass rate of 91 percent over the past five years, according to Donna Meyer, dean of Health Sciences. “We’re very pleased that we received the maximum accreditation possible. We believe this demonstrates the quality of our program and credit must be given to the administration, the faculty and the students who on a daily basis participate in the program,” Meyer said. 5

Field Station Dedication

ewis and Clark and the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC) dedicated its new, state-of-the-art, sustainable Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station in October with more than 800 members of the community in attendance. “We were amazed at how many people joined us for this dedication,” Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman said. “We continue to receive requests for tours and more information on the building, and I think the large turnout and the continued interest in the facility says a lot about Congressman Costello’s support of this community, as well as the unique characteristics of this sustainable building.” The 35,000 square-foot Field Station, located adjacent to the Melvin Price Locks and Dam in Alton, is the first building ever named in Costello’s honor. Costello took office in 1988 and has since been a champion for transportation and infrastructure, and for the research and development of clean coal technologies. “Just as Lewis and Clark began a quest for knowledge from these shores over 200 years ago, our dedication of the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center formally begins a journey to better understand our great rivers,” Costello said. “From the outset, the concept for the center has been unique, collaborative and international in scope, and it is already in a class by itself as an educational institution. Students from all over the world will come to our area to study the ecology and management of large rivers, but it is more than just a building for research. This beautiful, innovativelydesigned facility is a classroom for hands-on learning by students and citizens of all ages. “Our region is the perfect site for this project, near the confluence of three great rivers, which are critical to our economy, outlets for our recreation and defining parts of our landscape through their sheer beauty and awesome power. The great rivers are a tremendous part of our heritage, so it is very appropriate that this center be located here, in the heartland of the United States. I am honored and humbled that the center bears my name, and I look forward to its great success for years to come.”

TRAILBLAZERS

Lewis and Clark Named Military Friendly

ewis and Clark has recently been named by G.I. Jobs Magazine as a Military Friendly School, ranked in the top 15 percent of all colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide for its services

to veterans. The college’s goal is to help servicemen and women reach their highest educational potential through its new Veterans Services department. Veterans have access to various tools to help them go back to school, but not all are well known, said Ryann Clagg, financial aid and Veterans Club advisor. The Illinois Veterans Grant and Illinois National Guard Grant are funds to help cover tuition. The GI Bill is a monthly stipend that helps a veteran pay other expenses associated with going back to school. Clagg advises veterans on campus to make sure they are aware of all their options. Lewis and Clark recently hired Terry Lane as manager of the Veterans Services department to help veteran students who need assistance beyond what’s routinely provided by the financial aid and counseling departments. 10

“Various offices on campus get questions from veterans; I’ll be the person they can refer students to for assistance with more complex or unique issues,” he said. Lane, a decorated Vietnam veteran himself, will also be involved with the Veterans Club on campus, which creates a networking atmosphere for veteran students to share benefits information and more. “I’ve heard a lot of veterans say, ‘I don’t want to share war stories,’ but we’re not about that,” Clagg said. “The club will go in whatever direction the students want to take it.” That may involve doing more to get involved in the community. Anyone interested in joining can check out a club meeting, held on the last Wednesday of every month at 2 p.m. in the Reid Faculty Dining Room, or they can stop by the Financial Aid office and speak with Clagg in person. “We’re looking to spread the word and get more people involved, and possibly draw more veterans to attend classes here. We want to provide a welcoming environment for them,” she said.

ewis and Clark recently reorganized its academic support options for students who need extra help in class. The new Student Success Center comprises the Writing Desk (O.W.L.) and the Math Resource Center, with the addition of Science and Academic Tutoring. Reid Library, home of the Writing Desk, is now also the place to go for extra help with assignments, study guides, memory aids, speech preparation and more. “We have set hours and multiple tutors. Students come in with whatever they need help on, and we try to accommodate them – whether it’s a specific assignment, reading comprehension or study skills tips,” said Chrissie Blount, coordinator for Academic Tutoring. “If you feel overwhelmed, we can help.” Science Tutoring has been added at the Math Resource Center location in The Commons. There is also a Math Resource Center located on the N.O. Nelson campus in Edwardsville. “Tutoring can sometimes have a negative connotation, but there are a lot of students who need help with their coursework,” said Dennis Krieb, who coordinates the Student Success Center. “The overall message is, you’re not alone.” All services are free to students.

15 Consecutive Years of Increased Enrollment

ewis and Clark continues to grow each semester, training students for careers and preparing them for transfer to other colleges and universities at a minimal cost. Both Spring and Fall semesters in 2010 posted record enrollment numbers. Continuing the college’s 15-year enrollment trend, the longest in the state of Illinois, 8,179 credit students took 68,971 credit hours in the fall. In addition, nearly 2,000 students populated the N.O. Nelson campus in Edwardsville, not including dual credit students from Edwardsville High School, and 1,575 online students took 16,339 credit hours. At 18 area high schools, high school students took advantage of as many as 46 free dual credit course opportunities to save district parents $1,122,264 (based on Lewis and Clark’s tuition). “The increase is significant, not just because Lewis and Clark is experiencing yet another increase in enrollment, but also because this increase means that Lewis and Clark is providing career opportunities in the jobs of the 21st century,” L&C President Dale Chapman said. “The fact that more and more students choose Lewis and Clark each year is based on the reputation of our quality education for a fraction of the cost of other colleges and universities.” Board Chairman Robert Watson is pleased that community members are choosing Lewis and Clark. “Even more importantly, it means more individuals and their families are saving a great deal of money on their college tuition, and it means Lewis and Clark is playing a vital role in creating a strong regional workforce. Lewis and Clark continues to offer a top-rated college education for a minimal cost, which means even more today in our tough economic times,” Watson said. “Our faculty and staff are ahead of the game when it comes to understanding the needs of employers in our region, and developing state-of-the-art training programs to create a highly trained work force.”

Dual Credit = College Savings

Dual Credit Alum: In Their Own Words

ewis and Clark’s High School Partnership (dual credit) program offers students at 18 area schools the opportunity to start earning college credits before they leave high school. For some, that means getting the opportunity to start college as a sophomore, taking less intimidating course loads, or even graduating early. The program, accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships, saw a 15 percent increase in the number of students receiving dual credit in 2010 and a 30 percent increase in the number of credit hours taken. Because the courses are free (no charge for tuition or books) and many can be transferred to other colleges and universities, dual credit opportunities equate to substantial savings for area families in a struggling economy. “Fall 2010’s credit hours taken by high school students represent a savings of $1,122,264 for district parents, and that number is based only on Lewis and Clark’s low tuition rate,” Vice President of Enrollment Services Kent Scheffel said. Riley Hale, a Godfrey resident and senior in Journalism 2 at Alton High School, said her dual credit experience has not only been fun, but has also given her a nice head start as she plans to pursue an education in journalism, possibly at Southeast Missouri State University. She’ll have 18 college credits before she even sets foot on campus. “It’s saving me money. I have to go to college three and a half years instead of four,” she said. The Edwardsville School District reached an all time high by offering 46 dual credit courses this fall – the most ever offered by a high school in the dual credit program. “We were amazed to see such a large number of courses and students from one school district who are taking advantage of the dual credit offering,” Scheffel said. “I believe that more “Fall 2010’s credit hours parents are realizing the value of their student earning college credit taken by high school at no cost to them - while they attend students represent a savings of $1,122,264 for high school. I am sure this college savings is even more significant given district parents.” the current economy.”

“Normally, students would graduate with just more than 120 credits, but I’ll be at 150 at graduation. You can save a lot of money through dual credit, and it’s really convenient,” said the Godfrey native. He’s planning to spend his Spring semester this year studying abroad in Dublin, Ireland.

AHS Class of 2010 Pittsburg State University Class of 2014 Biology and Commercial Graphics major “It’s a great deal because I would have had to pay more money to come here for more years. Plus, I got several classes out of the way, and now I don’t have to take them in college,” she said. “There was definitely a different atmosphere, but my dual credit classes were a lot more like college courses.”

“Not having to take as many units as other people gave me a little more flexibility,” Ostrander said. “The thing that helped me the most was my Spanish transfer credit. Stanford requires a full year of foreign language, but I was fortunate enough to already have that done.” 13

LC Go Green

&C is constantly pushing green initiatives on campus and in the community to reduce the college’s carbon footprint and to encourage others to be more environmentally responsible by leading by example. The year 2010 was a big one for L&C and the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center, which received a number of prestigious grants and awards and opened a new state-of-the-art sustainable research facility on the banks of the Mississippi River. • L&C was awarded $23.8 million from the state in capital development money to complete the Field Station, which was dedicated to the public as the Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station on Oct. 26 in front of more than 800 dignitaries, college representatives and members of the community. The dedication event included a ribbon cutting ceremony, tours of the facility, and a vendor fair featuring sustainable goods and practices, as well as food and drink representative of major communities along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to the Gulf of Mexico. 14

• The Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing (CEIR) presented the Field Station with its national overall Excellence in Design Award for sustainable roofing. • NGRREC received the University of Illinois Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Public Engagement, which recognizes extraordinary contributions of faculty, staff, students and projects to connect the university with the broader community on issues of critical social impact. • The college completed a 50-year plan to work toward zero greenhouse gas emissions and becomes one of only two community colleges in the State of Illinois to complete an official Climate Action Plan. The college was recognized by the Illinois Green Economy Network (IGEN), and asked to lead workshops on how to properly complete a Climate Action Plan. • L&C joined a task force called “Project Get Ready,” a consortium of public and private partners working together to create electric vehicle charge stations throughout the region. • L&C began converting vehicles to run on alternative fuels – an effort to

“green the fleet” as a priority goal out of the Climate Action Plan. In addition to purchasing a plug-in electric car for use on campus by the mail room and maintenance deparment, the college also owns three electric golf carts and is working with Aljets Automotive to retrofit campus vehicles. Three vehicles, including two plow trucks and a food service van, have been retrofitted to propane, therefore reducing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted, Lochmann said. • Much of the exterior lighting on campus was replaced with high-efficiency LED lighting; a project that will save 59% of LC’s total energy costs once all of the lights are replaced. • L&C, NGRREC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers greeted the 44 state winners of the U.S. Stockholm Junior Water Prize competition for tours and hands-on activities. • L&C hosted the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant Asian Carp Summit in September. Chef Phillipe Parola, out of Louisiana, used the occasion to visit and promote the invasive species as a boon for area fish markets, fishermen and restaurants. He also showed participants and members of the media how to properly prepare dishes centered on the fish, which he preferred to call “Silverfin.” • In August, L&C hosted an interactive listening session and community dialogue as part of President Obama’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative, one of a series held across the country. The community event, coordinated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, brought together leaders from communities across the country, including Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy, Director of the National Park Service Jonathan Jarvis, Congressman Jerry Costello and Col. Tom O’Hara, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St. Louis District, who are working to protect outdoor spaces and developing and supporting innovative ideas for improving conservation and recreation at the local level. • L&C began partnering with local farms to include more local produce in campus dining and catering services on campus. Dining services also began using sugar cane containers for its “to-go” meals, in place of plastic.

• L&C offered a course for faculty on “Greening Your Curriculum” for the second time to infuse sustainability into our courses. • L&C hosted EarthFest as part of SpringFest 2010 with hands-on demonstrations from local farms and alternative fleet vehicles, Segway rides from the St. Louis Science Center and a film series focused on great rivers. • Campus Sustainability Day was celebrated for the first time on campus on Oct. 20. A variety of vendors and organizations joined to offer ways to “go green,” including rain barrels, recycled glass countertops, jute handbags, the Lights for Learning energy bike, proper disposal of pharmaceuticals, cell phone recycling drive, a carbon trading presentation from Ameren and more. • Madison County and L&C’s Office of Sustainability co-hosted a two-day workshop for Madison County teachers as part of the school district’s in-service day. The workshop, titled “Green Forecast: Windy or Sunny,” provided materials for teachers to integrate wind and solar energy curriculum into their classrooms. Joe Rand of KidWind led the two-day workshop with hands-on activities and guided discussion.

hird party auditors continually provide a “clean opinion” of Lewis and Clark’s accounting records through their regular audits, and commend the college’s accounting staff and the college for its fiscal management of taxpayer funds. In addition, Lewis and Clark consistently maintains one of the lowest unit costs in the state. A unit cost is the amount it takes to deliver one unit of academic instruction. For example, the college’s 2010 net instructional unit cost was $182.58, compared to the state average, which was $214.34. The college continues to maintain a balanced budget each year and has stayed within the existing tax rate during fiscally challenging times. Lewis and Clark also seeks out alternative revenues and has been successful at offsetting costs through obtaining numerous, competitive grants. In 2010 the college realized more than $4 million in revenue from state and federal grants.

Economic Impact

Economic Impact Study Shows Lewis and Clark a Great Investment for Local Taxpayers, Students and the State

n economic impact study utilizing data from the 2010 fiscal year focused on the contributions of Lewis and Clark to its district residents, students and the state revealed that the college is a great investment for all three stakeholder groups. Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. (EMSI), a third-party research firm from Moscow, ID, recently applied its economic impact model to Lewis and Clark and District 536 to analyze the impact the college has on its residents, students and Illinois. The model has been field-tested to generate more than 900 studies for educational institutions in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Australia. The results of this study show that taxpayers in District 536 experience a rate of return on their investment of 6 percent. “Essentially what this study reveals is that Lewis and Clark is a revenue generator. We put back into our local economy each year more than we receive in tax dollars,” said Tom Wunderle, who oversees Lewis and Clark’s Planning and Effectiveness. Wunderle added that the college’s annual operations and student spending results in an additional $26.4 million added to the local economy each year. Based on Lewis and Clark’s historical enrollment and credit production over the past 30 years, it is estimated that the accumulated contribution of the college annually adds $221.6 million in income to District 536. Altogether, the average annual added income due to the activities of Lewis and Clark and its graduates equals $248 million, which is the equivalent of 3.8 percent of the total district economy.

“We are drawing students from within our district, providing them with an inexpensive, high quality education, and when they graduate they become nurses, dental hygienists, police officers, fire fighters, paralegals, automotive technicians, process operations technicians and numerous other professionals who work and raise their families in our community,” Lewis and Clark Community College President Dale Chapman said. “That is what really multiplies the impact we have economically on our district, and why we are responsible for almost 4 percent of the region’s economy.” “This is independent evidence of our accountability to the communities we serve and demonstrates the great value of the investments made in Lewis and Clark,” Chapman said.

Students Invest Wisely In a Degree from L&C Students who select Lewis and Clark are proving just how smart they really are. The same study revealed that Lewis and Clark students experience a 17.4 percent rate of return on their investments of time and money. The study indicates that for every $1 a student spends on education at Lewis and Clark, they can expect to receive an additional $6 in higher future income. Students who earn an associate’s degree can expect to earn $9,700 more per year than a student with a high school diploma. “Students who choose Lewis and Clark are doing so because of its quality and affordability,” Chapman said. “Now they can be assured that not only are they saving money, but they are making a great investment in their future.” Other benefits revealed by the study show a significant savings to Illinois taxpayers annually. “In addition to the social savings to the state, Lewis and Clark students expand the state’s economic base through their higher incomes,” Chapman said. Board Chairman Robert Watson said the end result of the study demonstrates that Lewis and Clark is a great investment from multiple perspectives. “We are enriching the lives of our students and increasing their lifetime incomes, benefiting taxpayers by generating increased tax revenues from an enlarged economy, and reducing the demand for social services. And, we are contributing significantly to the vitality of the local and state economies,” he said. 19

Foundation

From the President

his has been another remarkable year for the Foundation. Not only have we enjoyed celebrating and looking back over the past 40 years of Lewis and Clark Community Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and growth, but we also created new memories and stories this year that we hope will serve as highlights during the next 40-year celebration. The year 2010 proved to be a challenging year financially for so many, so we feel truly blessed to experience continued support from our proven donors throughout this year. We saw record totals in all of our fundraising efforts, and for that we are extremely grateful to have such a wonderful community that believes in the quality of Lewis and Clark. As many know, the goal of the Foundation is to supplement the efforts of Lewis and Clark, by providing scholarship opportunities and providing support for projects that create a unique educational setting for its students. This year we provided more than 60 scholarship opportunities with funds raised from our ongoing efforts and by our generous community groups, businesses and individuals who continue to create annual and endowed scholarship opportunities at Lewis and Clark. We were also pleased to see the installation of three new pieces of artwork to enhance the beauty of campus and to expand the sculpture park on the Godfrey campus that so many visit each year. We were and honored to host the tremendous body of work of local artist and dentist Dr. Joe Emons. His many talents were celebrated through this exhibit, which took place just months before his passing (in 2011). We were also successful this year in attracting new donors, which allowed us to increase our scholarship offerings to students and our support for academic and athletic programs. The most significant gift of which was the Brookfield Renewable Power $250,000 gift, which provided a new scholarship in the field of science and sustainability and provided funding for the natural systems display feature in the lobby area of the new Costello Confluence Field Station. We thank all of our donors for making contributions this past year, and encourage them to consider giving again this year. As Lewis and Clark continues to grow, the demand for scholarships and other funding also increases. Your gift, no matter how small or large, combines to make a great difference in the lives of students and the offerings at Lewis and Clark. Thank you again for all that you do to make the Foundation and Lewis and Clark grow. Sincerely,

Sharon Roberts 2010 President, Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation

Brookfield Power Gift

rookfield Renewable Power Inc. presented the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation with a $250,000 grant to support the establishment of the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center’s Confluence Field Station and to create a scholarship endowment for students and interns engaging in river research at the college. Brookfield Renewable Power is one of the largest producers of renewable energy in North and South America. In the U.S., Brookfield owns and operates 100 hydroelectric facilities, and is one of the largest private operators and developers of hydropower on the Mississippi River. The grant comes from Brookfield’s Sustainable Development Initiative, a program introduced in 2004 to support projects that protect the environment and strengthen local communities. “River stewardship is a fundamental part of our business,” said Daniel Whyte, vice president of Brookfield Renewable Power. “When we learned of the Confluence Field Station, and the important academic research that will take place there, we wanted to be a part of the long-term sustainability efforts on the Mississippi River and beyond.” “We are extremely appreciative to Brookfield Renewable Power for their generous donation,” Lewis and Clark President and Foundation Executive Director Dale Chapman said. “Brookfield’s environmental awareness and use of renewable resources fits well with NGRREC’s interests, and we are pleased to have their support.” NGRREC’s LEED-certified Field Station is the first institution of its kind to offer a comprehensive river system research and education program. The building boasts numerous sustainable design elements such as a vegetative roof, long-wearing bamboo floors, innovative waste water technology, on-site hydropower, and many other environmentally- friendly and energy-efficient options. Lewis and Clark will seek Platinum Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the building, the nation’s highest recognitions of projects that incorporate “green” design principles.

Brookfield owns and operates more than 160 generating facilities totaling approximately 4,000 megawatts (MW) of renewable power capacity in the U.S., Canada and Brazil. Its U.S. operations, based out of Marlborough, Massachusetts, includes 1,900 MW of hydropower located in nine states and on 25 river systems. Brookfield operates hydropower projects on the Mississippi River in Louisiana and Minnesota and is working with major stakeholders to develop a 75 MW project at the Melvin Price Locks Dam. www.brookfieldPower.com

New Sculptures Added in 2010

he Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation has provided support for the installation of the numerous sculptures that adorn the college’s campuses. The Foundation has played an integral role in providing the funding for the sculptures that have made the Godfrey campus a public sculpture park and a destination location for visitors to the area. This year the Foundation supported three new sculptures at Lewis and Clark. Two of which are located on the Godfrey Campus, and one on the N.O. Nelson Campus in Edwardsville.

Rollin’ on the River

• “Rollin’ on the River” is an abstract piece by New York artist Joel Perlman. The piece was installed in the springtime and has been placed between The Enrollment Center and Haskell Hall. The piece is supported by a large limestone boulder, which was donated by Scott and Laurie Adams. The bronze for the sculpture was provided by the Olin Corporation. •“Walking Figures” is a series of five bronze pieces by polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz. The figures are visible from the quadrangle area at the center of campus, residing on the west side of the Enrollment Center.

Walking Figures

• “Wellspring” is the third piece of art supported by the Foundation this year. It is located in the courtyard at the N.O. Nelson campus in Edwardsville. This piece of art by Illinois artist John Medwedeff is the centerpiece of the campus. The water fountain is the second piece of art created by Medwedeff for Lewis and Clark. His sculpture “Bloom” resides in front of the Wade building on the Godfrey campus and was created in honor of the late Professor Lars Hoffman.

Wellspring 27

Emons Art Exhibit

lton native Dr. Joe Emons (1926-2011) was a lot of things in his life – a dentist, a carpenter, a pilot, a painter and a wood turner – and was always good with his hands with an eye for detail. In February of 2010, before his passing on April 27, 2011, his art was on display in an exhibit titled “My Turn: The Art and Life of Dr. Joe Emons.” The exhibit was supported and presented by the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation. Emons, who worked as a dentist in Alton, helped build his own office, his family’s home, and even crafted the wooden furniture and decorations inside the family home, which his wife Shirley said reflected nature beautifully. In fact, a lot of the wood Emons used came from the 6.5-acred property, said Jim Price, professor of art, history and culture at Lewis and Clark and curator of the exhibit. Price and members of the college’s maintenance department designed the exhibit space in the Advanced Technology Center to simulate the couple’s home, and included the best examples of his modernist wood creations (201 wood pieces). “His wood objects are transcendent,” Price said. “He was recognized with some of the better wood turners in the country.” In September 1996, he got his first giant lathe. From wood boxes to quilt racks to tables and more, Joe Emons started creating art that could be handed down through generations of his family. He turned more than 800 pieces. The exhibit included some of Emons’ watercolor paintings, which he started in 1978, as well as some of his jewelry. An actual glider was also hung on display, which represented the models he used to build as a child and the ones he flew in soaring competitions with his wife when they were younger. More than 5,000 people visited the exhibit while it was open to the public throughout the month of February 2010.

An investment in our students strengthens our community.

recent study of the Lewis and Clark Community College District revealed the college is a great investment for students and the community. Based on Lewis and Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical enrollment and credit production over the past 30 years, the study revealed the average annual added income due to the activities of Lewis and Clark and its graduates equals $248 million, which is the equivalent of 3.8 percent of the total district economy. We draw students from within our district, provide them with an inexpensive, high quality education, and when they graduate they become our nurses, dental hygienists, police officers, fire fighters, paralegals, automotive technicians, process operations technicians and numerous other professionals who work and raise their families in our community. The same study also revealed that Lewis and Clark students experience a 17.4 percent rate of return on their investments of time and money. When compared with other investments such as stocks and bonds, Lewis and Clark scores favorably for students. The study indicates that for every $1 a student spends on his/her education at Lewis and Clark, they can expect to receive an additional $6 in higher future income. Every dollar invested in Lewis and Clark and its students provides a significant economic impact to the entire district through increased earnings for students, increased economic activities to the district, and a reduced demand on tax-payer supported social services. We ask you to consider investing in the students of Lewis and Clark by supporting the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Scholarship Fund. Your gift is an investment in the district, because it allows us to provide additional educational opportunities to the growing number of students who are turning to Lewis and Clark. Through education, these students will better their lives and create a future for themselves and their families in this region, while creating a strong workforce that will insure economic vitality for years to come. Pictured on the right are just a few examples of Lewis and Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduates whose contributions in news writing, law enforcement, education and healthcare demonstrate the significant impact our alumni have on this region.

Kevin supplied much of the entertainment for the event, interviewing the boat pilots before and after their races.

The Thunderboaters, an RC boat club from St. Louis, MO., provided the instruction on boat racing for the brave pilots again this year, and entertained the crowds with a demonstration race. First place was awarded to the Trane Company. Second place went to the duo of Foundation Board Members Tom Long and Mark Kratschmer/ Wegman Electric. Third place was won by Contegra Construction.
