Circle Circle Coming Full Circle at L&C An Up-Close Look at Louise Jett By Jenna Shelton jshelton@lc.edu

Louise Jett works in The Bridge office during her time as an L&C student.

Louise Jett started as a student at Lewis & Clark Community College approximately fifteen years ago. Since that time, Jett has progressed both her educational degrees as well as her roles within the L&C Media Services. Jett started by achieving both her Associates of Arts as well as an Associate of Applied Science in Computer Graphics at L&C as well as enrolling at Greenville College to gain her Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership all by 2010. Her final educational journey took her to the University of Illinois to complete her Master of Education in Learning Design & Leadership.

To say Jett is dedicated and compassionate along her educational path is an understatement of the achievements and steadfast path she completed while also raising a family with her husband. This educational journey has served her well as she has also coordinated all this knowledge for the betterment of the student body and L&C Leadership Team. Jett has held roles at L&C as Media Specialist, Adjunct Faculty Member and Advisor at The Bridge, L&C’s student run newspaper, for the last eight years. While in these roles, Jett has been simultaneously serving as the Social Media Manager for the Ethical Society of St. Louis. During these years at L&C, Jett has taught a multitude of courses teaching, training and promoting News Writing, Photoshop, Desktop Publishing, Graphic Design, Small Business and Marketing Creative Portfolios to mention a few of her core competencies. She has managed to assist L&C in making great strides in curriculum development and enhanced use of Social Media in Education.

Jett prides herself on her successful track record of developing and implementing learner-centered curriculum for the student body of L&C, driving mentorship and collaboration while improving instruction. In the early years while working on her degrees from L&C, Jett worked for the L&C student-ran newspaper, The Bridge, starting out as a freelance writer and later moving to the Editor-in-Chief position. She also worked as a Library Assistant for the Reid Memorial Library at L&C. Jett is passionate about all the opportunities she feels she has been blessed with which have presented during her association with L&C.

By continuing her Bridge newspaper journey, Jett has been able to find the Louise and (a very young) Keenan at a Bridge Christmas party.

satisfaction and people engagement that stimulates her both professionally and artistically. Having had the opportunity to learn, work with and be mentored by Jett is truly worth taking that extra opportunity to engage with the newspaper while studying at L&C. These opportunities will allow students to learn how to work as a team, support student needs, deliver quality resources and educational opportunities to our community while finding a passion both career wise as well as great personal development.

Former Layout Editor and L&C alumni, Shelby Clayton used the skills taught to her by Jett to become a Marketing Assistant at Senior Services Plus, and she enjoys cultivating a vibrant community of artists in the Riverbend Artist Collective Facebook group in her free time. Clayton said, “Louise pushed me when I didn’t think I needed pushed; she saw things in me I never could see. Since working under her, I have found a leadership bug in me that I never thought I would have, and certainly might not have found without her pushing. I was so sad to leave The Bridge staff, but it was I who was her

I would like to personally thank Louise for allowing me to be part of The Bridge Team as an editor and writer. I have been most fortunate to learn from her as well as our whole Bridge team including our current Editor-in-Chief and Graphic Design/Social Media and Marketing student, Alex Johnson. Johnson is grateful for Jett saying, “Louise has been a life-changer for me. From my first class with her to finally working up the courage to say, ‘I want to work for The Bridge,’ Louise has been there, pushing me to do the best I can possibly do and then some.” The mentoring and positive direction she provides as well as the people skills she shares will allow all of us to be better, more productive future employees as well as compassionate humans in a very stressed and uncertain world.

If you’re wondering what the next steps for Louis Jett might be at L&C … well in the Fall 2020 semester Jett will be starting a new role as Associate Professor and Coordinator for the Graphic/Web Design Programs. As she moves into this full-time position her role in Media Services will be curtailed. Her plans are “to continue to work with everyone across the campus to help L&C fulfill its mission of empowering people...”

The passion Jett has learned, shared and promoted while mentoring so many members of the L&C student body over the past fifteen years speaks for itself. Best wishes Louise Jett, we are all excited to see what you accomplish in your next path of your L&C journey and are so glad for your continued engagement and support of the L&C student body! Louise Jett and the 2005-2006 Bridge Staff.

Louise Jett and Anthony Lanham showing what The Bridge has always been about: love and community.

Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer The Bridge Springs Into Summer Again By Alex Johnson amjohnson@lc.edu When we started publishing The Bridge over the summer, we were excited to do something new. Until this year, summer meant locking The Bridge office and putting off publishing till the Fall semester. Bridge advisor, Louise Jett, went to bat for us (as she often does) and made it possible for us to bring you content over the summer break. We were all under the impression this was a first. That is until we started reviewing our archives for the 50th Anniversary of Lewis and Clark. As it turns out, during the summer of 1987 The Bridge published “The Mini-Bridge” with the tagline “Our Little Summertime Version.” The digital magazine you just read, along with the content on www.thelcbridge.com, has been our little summertime version of The Bridge. I hope you enjoyed the anniversary issue and I hope you enjoy looking at these snippets from the Summer of ’87. History42
