NGRRECSM Hosts Two Summer Internships

I am a Trailblazer
This semester has been all about opportunities and engagement at Lewis and Clark Community College. This September, for the first time, we had the opportunity to host the Bike MS: Express Scripts Gateway Getaway Ride, which raised a projected $1.9 million for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s fight against MS. It was a tremendous success, and very exciting to welcome 3,000-plus cyclists, staffers and volunteers to the Godfrey campus and surrounding area for the weekend. Not only was it a momentous occasion for Bike MS and Lewis and Clark, but also for the region, which experienced a significant economic impact from the event. Hotels and restaurants across the River Bend filled with visitors from across the river and elsewhere, and cyclists got great exposure to the towns and cities in our region throughout their 25-100 mile rides, which followed different routes over a two-day period. Back on campus, the positive atmosphere from the event was contagious. Since then, emails and letters complimenting the event and our campus have continued to pour in, and we very much look forward to next year. Also on the Godfrey campus this

fall, along with WLCA 89.9-FM, we welcomed rock band The Maine to the Hatheway Cultural Center, along with Painter Victor Wang, the first of this semester’s Visiting Artist Lecture Series. Both were open to students, as well as the general public, and offered an opportunity for expanding viewers’ horizons through unique exposure to a range of art – from traditional to contemporary. Speaking of expanding, in Edwardsville, we look forward to the opening of the Mannie Jackson Center for the Humanities and are pleased to announce the opening of the St. Louis Confluence Fab Lab on our N.O. Nelson campus. Both will be tremendous assets for the community as well as Lewis and Clark, and together they cover the educational gamut – offering an array of opportunities from arts and the humanities to STEM programs based in science, technology, engineering and math. Read about these efforts and more in the pages that follow, and have a wonderful semester.

THE MAINERocks
Popular alternative rock band The Maine drew a crowd of approximately 600 students and community members for its free show in the Hatheway Cultural Center’s Ann Whitney Olin Theatre Sept. 4. The show was one of 13 free performances the band worked into its American Candy tour. “We were kind of at a juncture where we felt like we needed to do something drastically different,” said John O’Callaghan, lead singer for The Maine. “We have teamed up with a bunch of really great places that have allowed us to rent their spots. It’s our way of giving back to the people that have given us the ability to create and play music.” Alternative rock band Beach Weather opened up for The Maine. Before the concert, the band treated College Radio’s Best listeners to a live acoustic performance on air. For more information about WLCA 89.9-FM, which co-sponsored the event with L&C Student Activities, visit www.lc.edu/WLCA_Radio.

CNET Program Offers High Tech Training in Competitive Field As technology grows, so does a business’ reliance on computers, servers and other technology. The Computer Network Security & Administration (CNET) program at Lewis and Clark gives students the tools they need to go to work in the field. The CNET program offers an Associate in Applied Science, as well as several different certificate options. In addition, there are now several new academic partnerships with companies like CompTIA, Cisco Systems and Guidance Software. “These partnerships give our students access to cutting-edge technologies, discounted certifications, and greater flexibility to tune their studies to their individual needs,” CNET Program Coordinator Doyle McClellan said. Students in the CNET program learn network infrastructure, operating systems, security, and PC hardware and software. The average starting salary for a recent graduate in this field is $51,000 according to payscale.com. “After hours of research on the job market and current needs, I realized that information technology is a great place to be in this world. Technology is always moving forward,” CNET alumna Janice Richardson said. “The CNET program was the education path that seemed to fit perfectly with all the things that intrigued me about this field.” For more information on the CNET program, visit www.lc.edu/program/CNET.

We Bike MS!
Lewis and Clark Hosts Express Scripts Gateway Getaway Ride 2015 This September, thousands of cyclists and volunteers converged on the Godfrey Campus of Lewis and Clark for the Bike MS: 2015 Express Scripts Gateway Getaway Ride. The event, which benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society annually, took place over two days, Sept. 12-13, during which teams of cyclists and individuals rode between 25-100 miles per day to raise donations for the cause. Some participants camped on campus, while others filled local hotel rooms. Each morning, the campus buzzed with activity, quieted as cyclists tackled their routes, then filled with celebration as they returned. “Not only was the atmosphere on campus terrific, but the event itself had an enormous economic impact on our region,” said L&C President Dale Chapman. “Our first year hosting the event went tremendously well, and we look forward to our ongoing relationship with the National MS Society’s Gateway Chapter.” Mike Phillips, a National MS Society board member and
captain of Team Maritz, said this year’s relocation to L&C has been the biggest improvement to the event since he started riding 15 years ago. “Our team members remarked at how beautiful the campus is and how the hospitality and cooperation of your security people and volunteers made us feel very welcome,” he said.

Family Health Clinic Recieves
1.4 Million Grant to Expand Services
Thanks to a recent $1.4 million grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Lewis and Clark Family Health Clinic is about to take interprofessional healthcare to a whole new level. “Through teamwork, rather than individual healthcare silos, we hope to see better patient outcomes,” said former L&C Dean of Health Sciences and FHC director Donna Meyer. L&C and SIU School of Dental Medicine will collaborate to offer more extensive oral health assessments in the Family Health Clinic so that proper referrals can be made to L&C’s and SIU’s dental clinics. Consulting services from L&C’s Occupational Therapy and Exercise Science programs will round out the expansion of services offered at the clinic, which is still the only one of its kind operated by a community college in the U.S. “Nursing students will have a unique opportunity to identify interdisciplinary needs for a patient in a community setting,” said Sheri Banovic, L&C director of nursing education. “They can take an active role in integrating the various disciplines in patient care.” Dr. Poonam Jain, director of SIU School of Dental Medicine’s Community and Preventive Dentistry program, said nursing and dental students alike will benefit from the collaboration. “It is critical that nurses and nurse practitioners, who see patients much more often than dentists, be trained not only in performing oral exams, but also in assessing the oral disease risk of patients, providing guidance related to oral health and necessary It’s the beginning of flu season.

Fab Lab to Foster Innovation
on L&C’s N.O. Nelson Campus
This fall, Lewis and Clark unveiled a new facility aimed at fostering innovation on its N.O. Nelson campus in Edwardsville. The 5,000-square-foot St. Louis Confluence Fab Lab will be used in classroom instruction, and by members of the public, who will be allowed to purchase monthly memberships for use of the space and equipment. The lab will feature areas for CNC, metalworking, wood/plastic working, clean manufacturing, design, finishing and electronics. “The lab is an extension of our architecture, drafting, industrial technology and welding programs,” said Sue Czerwinski, L&C dean of career. “Students will use that space for classwork, but the lab will also serve a community need. We can be a place where inventors who have ideas can come in and create a prototype, and hobbyists can come in and use tools they wouldn’t normally have access to.” The Fab Lab is the latest of Lewis and Clark’s efforts toward broadening its STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) offerings. “Lewis and Clark is empowering the students of the college and the members of the community to make their dreams a reality through the use of advanced manufacturing tools,” said Luke Jumper, St. Louis Confluence Fab Lab director. The latest in a trend toward digital fabrication labs inspired by the MIT Fab Lab model, the St. Louis Confluence Fab Lab is unique to the St. Louis area See more photos of the Fab Lab’s construction at http://bit.ly/FabLab2015. 12- “Discover”

NGRRECSM Field Station
Certified Gold LEED® by US Green Building Council
The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center is officially the gold standard in sustainable building. Its Jerry F. Costello Confluence Field Station was recently awarded LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. “This particular research facility is a very complex structure,” said Dale Chapman, NGRRECSM board chair and president of Lewis and Clark Community College. “To receive Gold level LEED Certification for such a complex building added challenges. It is great to have this national organization affirm that we have achieved construction, operation and sustainability goals at the highest levels.” LEED is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices, according to usbgc.org. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. LEED is generally recognized as the preeminent organization for green building certification. To learn more about NGRREC’s green features, visit www.ngrrec.org.
NGRRECSM hosts two summer internships
The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRRECSM) hosted two internships in the summer of 2015: the 13th annual NGRREC Internship and the first ever National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) internship. The NSF-REU internship provided students with interdisciplinary research experiences in archeological and ecological sciences. Lewis and Clark graduate and NSF-REU intern Stephanie “Stevie” Goesmann, who is now at Blackburn College studying biology and chemistry, said she feels the internship will help her advance in her field. “I learned so much from the internship that it would be hard 14 - “Discover”
to write it all down,” Goesmann said. “I feel the internship gave me an in-depth understanding of the fields, in which I want to work, as well as a working knowledge of associated fields.” NGRREC interns spent the summer conducting a variety of research, gaining invaluable experiences in data/specimen collection and using standard protocols, and learning how to analyze, synthesize and interpret data, which will be translated into reports. Both internships concluded with symposiums, during which interns presented their findings and fielded questions. For more information about NGRREC visit www.ngrrec.org.

TRAILBLAZER Bailey McGuire
In 2013, Bailey McGuire, of East Alton, was an honors student and Roxana High School’s Small School Volleyball Player of the Year – today, she is a Trailblazer. In November 2013, McGuire suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident and spent more than a month in the hospital. “At first I couldn’t just go back and play,” she said. “I couldn’t jump or anything. I had to meet with my trainer every day and we worked on stuff to build my muscles back up. I wanted to jump so badly, but I couldn’t.” Eventually, due to her fighting spirit, she got back on her feet and back on the court. Today, McGuire plays volleyball for Lewis and Clark and participates in the college’s 2+2 program with Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, which ensures a smooth transition for transfer students. She has her sights set on a career in mechanical engineering. “One of the reasons I decided to attend L&C was because they have really good services and have what I need,” she said. “There is so much help here for me and since the classes are so small, I can communicate with my teachers more easily”
