From The President It’s hard to believe that the 2013 Academic Year is already nearing a close, but it has been a fantastic one so far for Lewis and Clark. We have celebrated new fundraising initiatives aimed at sustaining and enhancing the College’s impact; welcomed new faculty, who are bolstering our academic and career programs and are allowing us to offer the highest quality training in new programs such as Welding; formed new partnerships with influential leaders such as Mannie Jackson, with whom we are working to develop a Center for the Humanities in his name at the historic Lincoln School in Edwardsville, and again – we achieved record enrollment that for the 18th consecutive year continues to grow. Lewis and Clark is an entrepreneurial institution, and we pride ourselves on being able to provide not only the highest quality academic instruction to our students, but also numerous cultural and educational experiences for the residents who call our district home.
This past year also offered us the opportunity to reflect on what we do well as a college, as we completed our self-study in anticipation of our reaccreditation site visit this spring. Through this introspective process, we were able to identify our key strengths, as well as focus on how we can improve in areas where we are met with challenges. Among many strategic goals we identified from this self-study process, one that relates to all readers of this publication is for the College to continue to find ways to engage with the communities and individuals throughout our district. We hope you find this publication to be a useful tool that provides you with the most up-to-date information about Lewis and Clark, as well as ways you can benefit from our services and facilities. We continue to welcome your feedback about how we can create opportunities for you to engage with Lewis and Clark, and how we can continue to communicate with you about the numerous opportunities we offer each semester. I hope that you will take the time to read through this issue and consider how Lewis and Clark is impacting you and your community, and how you might consider maximizing that impact by engaging with us through a course, degree program or an upcoming event on one of our campuses.

Jamie Stumpf Exercise Science Alumna
Brian Pohlman
Computer Graphics Student Brian, of Jerseyville, has a bachelor’s degree in Speech Communication from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and a master’s degree in Communication from Illinois State University. After a few years spent overseas, teaching English to elementary and high school students in South Korea, he returned to the United States and decided to further his education. He chose Lewis and Clark because it offered the opportunity for the hands-on learning experience he was searching for, in an affordable and flexible environment. “I feel like L&C has given me more practical knowledge to go along with the theoretical knowledge I gained in undergrad and graduate school,” Brian said. “I’ll finish this program in only two semesters, which would have taken at least twice as long at other schools. Plus, this degree will help supplement the Speech Communication degrees I already have.” Brian will graduate in May 2013, and plans to pursue a career in the graphic, web or marketing fields. Currently, he is working in a graphic design internship at Lewis and Clark. 4- “Discover”
Originally a licensed cosmetologist, Jamie, of Moro, sought a career change, and found opportunity in L&C’s Exercise Science program’s 30 and Out option. She finished her Associate in Applied Science degree in Exercise Science through that program in 2011, and is now pursuing her bachelor’s degree through Missouri Baptist University on L&C’s Godfrey campus, while working in her field. Outside of school, Jamie teaches fitness classes at the YWCA in Alton, and assists a physical therapist and patients with rehabilitation at ProRehab in Alton, where she works as a physical therapy aide. “I knew I was ready after graduation to take on any challenges that my career had to offer. My knowledge in exercise psychology has allowed me to help my class members adhere to the exercise and health goals they set for themselves,” Jamie said. Jamie plans to pursue a dual master’s degree in Exercise Physiology and Sports and Exercise Behavior at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and would one day like to become a professor and teach future fitness professionals.
Nicole Heflin
Criminal Justice Student Nicole, of Bethalto, is currently working full time as a paralegal, but decided to come back to school to take her career a step further. “I took a Computer Forensics class with David Vucich and really liked it. This led me to an internship that focused mostly on computer forensics and how it is used in the field,” said Nicole, who would like to follow that interest into a career as a Computer Forensic Detective. Now a 30 and out student in L&C’s Criminal Justice program, Nicole has discovered the chance to open more job possibilities for herself in the future. “L&C is my ‘hometown’ college. Since I work full time, I needed a college that was close to home and that also offered online classes. L&C has provided a quality education with a flexibility that fits my schedule,” she said. “(30 and Out) is an easy way to further your education in a short amount of time.” Eventually, Nicole would like to continue her education, and earn a juris doctor degree.
Robert Kercher Web Design Student
Vani Komarraju Paralegal Student
Robert, of Alton, has a degree in Graphic Design from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and enrolled in Web Design at Lewis and Clark to add to his skillset and make himself more marketable in a growing career field. The 30 and Out option in Web Design means that he can finish a second degree in just 30 credit hours of majorspecific courses, or one year of going to school full time. A highlight so far has been learning to code a web page from scratch, he said. “I think it is a great opportunity for anyone to add skills and a degree without starting over. Everyone should take advantage of it if they want a new career or just to increase their employability in their current job field,” Robert said. “I would like to start a career that challenges me and keeps me moving upward. I think this field is constantly growing, so it’s very exciting.”
Vani, of Edwardsville, earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Education and a master’s in English Literature while living in India. She had begun pursuing a doctoral degree, but having a small child at home, she decided to put her education on hold. Now a non-traditional student, working for H&R Block as a tax preparer, Vani found flexibility in L&C’s Paralegal program and its 30 and Out option. “I like the fact that the school works with students to design and cater to individual student needs. I needed it to be flexible, so I can take few courses at a time, and 30 and out helped me with that,” she said. Vani hopes to work at a law office, and one day, maybe even teach in her field at Lewis and Clark. www.lc.edu - 5
Mannie Jackson Movie Opens to Crowd of More Than 300 Inspirational humanitarian Mannie Jackson revisited his former hometown of Edwardsville on Feb. 4 to attend the national premiere of “Mannie Jackson: From Boxcar to Boardrooms,” a documentary based on his autobiography by the same name. The event, held at the historic Wildey Theatre, drew more than 300 of Jackson’s family, friends and community members across the Metro East for the first ever screening of the documentary, which was produced by the Big 10 Network. Both the book and movie tell the story of Jackson, who was born in a railroad boxcar in Illmo, Mo. and eventually found success on the basketball court at Edwardsville High School and later at the University of Illinois as one of the first of the school’s African-American student athletes. He then went on to a playing career for the Harlem Globetrotters
before rising through the ranks at Honeywell to become one of the company’s senior corporate officers and one of the most influential African-American corporate executives in the country. Jackson later bought the Harlem Globetrotters and became the nation’s first African-American owner of a global sports and entertainment brand. Jackson held a book signing for his memoir, “Boxcar to Boardrooms,” in April 2012 on the college’s N.O. Nelson campus in Edwardsville, where he also announced the formation of the Mannie Jackson Endowment and Center for the Humanities. The center, slated to be housed in the historic Lincoln School in Edwardsville, will bring together diverse audiences and humanities programming through lectures, readings, dialogues, public service opportunities and humanities programs.
On July 27, 2011, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) announced Lewis and Clark as one of the first six two-year colleges ever to receive Challenge Grants, which aim to help raise endowments to strengthen humanities programs at community colleges, encourage the development of model humanities programs and curricula, and broaden the base of financial support for humanities on two-year college campuses. The $250,000 grant requires Lewis and Clark to raise a 2:1 match of $500,000. Not only has Jackson pledged his own financial support toward the $1 million endowment, but he is also working closely with the college to provide his vision and leadership toward fulfilling the endowment and completing the building project. To date, more than $500,000 has been raised toward the cause.

Exercise Science Alum Makes Career Out of Helping People Jason Davis Age: 26 Hometown: Wood River Graduated from L&C in: 2009 Major: Exercise Science Other Education: Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Kinesiology, Sports Studies and Exercise Science from Eastern Illinois University; studied abroad in Winchester, England while working on his master’s degree Where is he now? Working as a Personal Fitness Trainer at Jewish Community Center in St. Louis, Mo.
Fitness trainer Jason Davis works with a client at the Jewish Community Center in St. Louis. Personal fitness trainer Jason Davis has a special bond with his clients – he can relate to their struggles, looking back on his own health challenges over the years. During his first year as a student at Lewis and Clark, he underwent a major hip surgery, and every day, he swam in the Hatheway pool for rehabilitation.
“When I checked out the Exercise Science program, I was hooked for life.” “I enrolled at Lewis and Clark after graduating from East Alton-Wood River High so I could complete my general education classes and explore career options. When I checked out the Exercise Science 8- “Discover”
program, I was hooked for life,” said Jason, who earned his associate degree in 2009. Shane Callahan, L&C Exercise Science program coordinator, said Davis was an exemplary student. “His commitment to academics, coupled with his enthusiasm for the field of Exercise Science makes him an asset to the fitness community,” Shane said. “He is a positive example for others and really cares about helping people.” After transferring to Eastern Illinois University to study Kinesiology, Sports Studies and Exercise Science, Jason underwent a second hip surgery. “That wasn’t going to keep me from my goals. In fact, I think it made me work harder,” he said. “I had each surgery during my Christmas breaks so I

fitness trainer at the Jewish Community Center in St. Louis. “I really enjoy working with my clients and helping educate and motivate them to reach their health and fitness goals,” he said. “Jason leads by example and always is willing to go the extra mile to help clients,” said Patrick McKee, Davis’ supervisor. “His outgoing personality and energy gets people excited about getting fit, which keeps them motivated.”
AIM: Business Degrees for Working Adults
Business Coordinator Doug Schneiderheinze works with Management students at a local bank branch in Alton. Lewis and Clark’s AIM program allows working adults to complete an associate degree in Accounting or Management in a flexible and accelerated evening schedule over the course of only three years. “In a traditional program, a student would only be able to take one class in an evening session. With only one class per week, it could take seven years to complete a degree,” said Business Coordinator Doug Schneiderheinze. “With the AIM cohort, you start the one night program, with two classes per night, and complete your degree in three years. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.” A cohort is limited to 22 students, who stay together for the duration of the program. Course content is
covered at an accelerated pace in a web-blended environment, which means that some of the work is done online using Blackboard, and class sessions are spent on group discussions, projects and simulations. “AIM students learn in three ways – they learn from the text and other resources provided in class, they learn from the instructor and his or her experience, and they learn from each other by sharing experiences,” Schneiderheinze said. “Additionally, students in the cohort get to know each other and form friendships, a networking opportunity that can be used to help each other through the program and in the business world long after graduation.”

Lewis and Clark Expands Welding Program
Welding Technology Coordinator Travis Jumper works with a student in a welding lab on the college’s Godfrey campus. A national shortage of welders, also being felt locally, makes for a bright future in the field of Welding Technology. To meet that need, Lewis and Clark has recently developed its Welding program. “The future outlook for welders just keeps looking brighter while other career choices seem to be fading
away,” said Travis Jumper, instructor and program coordinator. Welding is used in shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and repair, aerospace applications, and thousands of other manufacturing activities. It’s also used to join beams when constructing buildings, bridges and other structures, and to join
pipes in pipelines, power plants and refineries. “Welders are a major part of the construction and alternative energy industries,” Jumper said. “Welders are going to be needed as long as the world needs energy, infrastructure and defense products. The world’s economy simply cannot survive without the technology of welding.” Over the last decade, Lewis and Clark has offered a number of Welding courses, which were taught at local high schools. In the fall of 2012, L&C began offering courses in a newly renovated building on the north end of the college’s Godfrey campus. “If you are looking for ways to enter this trade or upgrade your expertise, Lewis and Clark’s Welding program can position or reposition you in the industry,” Jumper said. Lewis and Clark offers Welding students the opportunity to shape their own educational paths. While students can earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in Welding Technology at L&C, they can also earn one or more of eight certificates, including a Certificate of Proficiency in Welding Technology.

Faculty Spotlight 10- “Discover”
Travis Jumper joined Lewis and Clark’s full time faculty as the Welding Technology instructor and coordinator in the Fall of 2012, and has developed the curriculum with both students and employers in mind. He strives to provide a learning environment that allows each student to work at his or her own pace and also stresses the importance of a strong work ethic. “I don’t just want to turn students into strong welders,” Jumper said. “I also want them to understand what it means to be great employees who show up on time ready to work, have the knowledge to work safely and quickly, are able to not only accept criticism but also improve from it, and never stop learning new skills and tricks from those around them.”
Jumper has a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Systems, a teaching certificate and a Master of Science in Workforce Education, specializing in adult education, from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and has spent the last 10 years teaching in secondary and post-secondary schools, including Jacksonville High School and Lincoln Land Community College. “The best part of teaching for me is watching a student who was laid off, downsized or has just graduated from high school, come into my class and learn a skill that will give them the ability to get a great job making excellent money,” he said. “I can see them realizing that this is the first step to a better life.”
Faculty Spotlight Nikki Munden’s passion for teaching mathematics plus her dedication to helping students recently added up to a nomination for a prestigious award. Munden, assistant professor of Mathematics, was announced this spring as Lewis and Clark’s nomination for the Illinois Community College Trustees Association (ICCTA) 2013 Outstanding Faculty Member Award. “I was so surprised to hear I was
the nominee,” said Munden, 32, of Collinsville. “There are many deserving faculty at Lewis and Clark who have helped in many ways to accomplish the work that I have done at the college. Only one faculty member is selected from each community college in the state each year, and I am thrilled to be
the nominee from Lewis and Clark.” “Nikki is a thoughtful and creative individual,” said Susan Czerwinski, L&C dean of Math, Science and Technology. “Her intelligence is only superseded by her hard work and dedication to her students.” Munden has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mathematics from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. She has been teaching at Lewis and Clark for more than six years and teaches all levels of math. “I’ve always liked mathematics and I like helping others learn math,” Munden said. “It is such a great feeling when you’ve worked with a student who has been struggling and you see them finally understanding it.” As a winner, Munden is invited to attend the ICCTA Awards Banquet in June, where the statewide winner will be announced.

Visitors view the newly installed display, “What Makes a River Great?,” inside the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center’s Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station. Brookfield funded the display, which features a multimedia experience about life on and around the Mississippi and other great rivers of the world. The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center has unveiled new interactive exhibits for visitors to its Jerry F. Costello Field Station. The exhibits aid visitors on self-guided tours, inform them about NGRREC’s ongoing research and education projects, show them what makes the Field Station “green,” and help put the Mississippi River into perspective as not only of importance locally, but as a great river of the World.

Rivers Museum in Alton, the Field Station already attracts many visitors and passersby with its unique look and feel. Now, the newly added exhibits are a way for those visitors to become engaged with NGRREC. In the lobby, a display called “What Makes a River Great?” incorporates a model of the river with an educational video, funded by a major gift from Brookfield. “This video display is aimed at getting people oriented as to where we are in the region and then educating people as to what a flood plain river is,” aquatic ecologist John Chick said. Nearby, multiple touchscreen displays offer an interactive look at the work that is happening at NGRREC, as well as a detailed tour of all the sustainable principles and technologies incorporated into the building itself. “Visitors can take a virtual tour of the field station, look at custom-built animations that can help them understand how our
in-house water systems work, view live data regarding the building’s energy and water usage, and look at a checklist that details all of the building’s sustainable features,” said Ted Kratschmer, Water Resources and Sustainability Coordinator with L&C and NGRREC. “The touchscreens also feature a carbon footprint calculator so the visitors can educate themselves about their own environmental impact.”
Field Biologist Megan Cosgriff demonstrates the use of one of the “green” touchscreens in the field station lobby.

Lewis and Clark, Meet Lewis and Clark
14- “Discover”
This year, Lewis and Clark Community College is home to a new Lewis and Clark, as freshman Lewis Bain joins sophomore Clark Spalding on the 2013 Trailblazers golf team. Coach Mike Brasher noticed the unique coincidence at the beginning of the season. “It may have been a fluke; it may have been coincidence; it may have been destiny,” Brasher said. “Whatever circumstance that brought Lewis Bain and Clark Spalding together as teammates on the Lewis and Clark Golf Team is definitely special.” Lewis is originally from South Queensferry, Scotland. He came to the United States to play golf on a Lewis and Clark golf scholarship. After L&C, he wants to transfer to a Division 1 school to continue his college golf career, but his big dream is to play golf professionally. “I have always liked to play since I was young, and the best thing you can do if you want to be a professional golfer is come to America,” Lewis said. Clark has been playing golf for eight years, and is in his second year as a Trailblazer. He plans on transferring to McKendree University after graduation to continue pursuing a degree in political science and eventually wants to go on to law school. “I think it is really ironic to have a Lewis and Clark on the same team. It is something that definitely catches the
attention of other people,” Clark said. “People comment when they realize it. My coaches find it pretty amusing as well, but everyone is pretty much used to it now.” Coach Dave Sobol commented on the players’ characteristics both on and off the course. “A coach could not ask for two better kids. Like all our players, they are great players and even better kids. Coach and I know how fortunate we are to have this team,” Sobol said. This season, the L&C golf team is strong and ready for its upcoming tournaments, Brasher said. After coming off a team win at the Danville College Fall Invitational in October, the team is ready to get back on the course. “This is definitely the best team in the history of Lewis and Clark golf,” he said. “They truly are a great group of young men and we think they have their eyes on the prize.”

L&C Scholarships Morgan Cruz of Bethalto is in her first year of college at Lewis and Clark, and it’s paid for because she is a Golden Eagle scholar. Students who finish in the top 11-20 percent of their high school graduating class are eligible to apply for the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation’s Golden Eagle Scholarship, which pays a recipient’s tuition and fees for two semesters. Those in the top ten percent can apply for the Distinguished Scholarship. “This scholarship means so much to me because I don’t have the stress of student debt right now,” she said. “I can’t thank the donors enough for what they do and I really hope they know how appreciative I, along with many other recipients, am to receive this scholarship.” Morgan, a graduate of Civic Memorial High School, already knew
she wanted to attend Lewis and Clark because it was close to home, but it was the scholarship that sealed the deal. Her mother had encouraged her to apply for it, and she applied for a number of other scholarships as well. “I would encourage other students to apply for as many scholarships as possible and to really take time to fill them out,” Morgan said. “I intend to apply for more scholarships in the future. You never know how amazingly helpful they are until you receive one.” After L&C, Morgan plans to pursue her bachelor’s and master’s degree in Speech Pathology at the University of Illinois.
