A message from the President

MARKING SUCCESS

1

When reflecting on a year gone by, it is common to see time passing both quickly and gently. Indeed, this has been the case for St. Charles Community College as holidays and big events marked time between days filled with hard work by students, faculty and staff.

Early in the year, the college was the recipient of a generous donation by SunEdison Semiconductors that will support student scholarships and academic enhancements for the Pre-Engineering Program. Deans and faculty members from partner institutions like Missouri State University and Missouri Southern State University collaborated, then signed agreements, to make transfer to specific programs a seamless endeavor for SCC students.

While students were capturing awards for academic excellence through organizations like Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Beta Lambda, faculty and staff were laser-focused on building the first set of action plans to support Long-Range Planning.

Out of this important work came plans for an Honors College, innovative academic

advising enhancements, a one-stop shop for enrolling students as well as advancements in developmental coursework. This is just a sampling of the strategic recommendations outlined, but all these ideas, goals and plans have one thing at their center – student success.

Success was also a top story at the faculty and staff level as SCC received honors on two noteworthy workplace lists – the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Workplaces and The Chronicle’s Great Colleges to Work For®.

I encourage you to read the stories in this Annual Report, reflective of a year that was both measured and fast-paced. It serves as evidence of the good work, dedication and achievements of our students, faculty and staff.

In 2013-14, strategic objectives were addressed and initiatives emerged through Long-Range Planning efforts; at their center remained student success.

Imagine a summer immersed in the life of your community. Now imagine that this community and its daily hum existed thousands of years ago. Such was the experience of students enrolled in Anthropology 201, SCC’s field school.

Students in the summers of 2013 and 2014 spent their days uncovering history in an area of Mississippian culture known as the Bruno site in the St. Peters Sports Center Park north of Interstate 70.

Student findings from homes and common areas revealed how the area’s early residents built homes, prepared food and fashioned goods for trade. The field school was a true hands-on experience; SCC’s affordability made it easy for interested students to dig their way into the past.

“When the students actually get to be out shoveling dirt every day, they can tell if the field of archaeology is right for them,” said Anne Griffith, adjunct instructor of archaeology.

SCC was named to the 2014 Military Friendly Schools® list, which honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.

Enrollment increased in the Certified Nursing Assistant Program by approximately 400 percent, utilizing the MoHealthWins Grant.

New Associate of Science degrees have been constructed in biology, chemistry and pre-engineering as well as new degree and certificate options in welding.

With support from SCC’s Career Services, as well as faculty and staff, students are gaining the experience needed to secure employment.

Not all degree programs require it, but every student is encouraged to complete an internship while at SCC.

“Students who complete internships are not only more likely to get hired, but they may also earn higher starting salaries,” said Martha Toebben, career services manager. “By putting education theory into practice, students can affirm their career choice

In today’s market, real-world experience is essential when searching for the right job.

Aspiring law enforcement officer Matthew Binder gained field experience as a police intern for the Warrenton Police Department during the summer of 2014. His duties included patrolling traffic, responding to calls, assisting with prisoner transports and more. “During patrol assists and calls, I was able to recognize how my strongest character traits can be appropriately channeled into ‘real-world’ law enforcement practice,” said Binder. “My internship deeply coincided with my goal of becoming a law enforcement officer who will uphold the law and serve people in a community with pride.”

This year, more than 500 students completed an internship, practicum or other high-impact educational experience for class credit while increasing their marketability in the job market.

“Our ultimate goal is to help students succeed in life after college,” said Toebben. SCC internships have recently been filled in the fields of photography, public relations, human services, criminal justice and gallery management, among many others.

To encourage college and career readiness, the Missouri Department of Higher Education funded an initiative to serve rural and at-risk students in the college district and its extended service region. SCC staff and faculty have provided workshops, ACT prep classes, tutoring, spring break camps, FAFSA nights, a STEM academy and campus visits. “Be Ready” Smart Start sessions helped students navigate SCC admissions, registration, advising and financial aid.

A partnership with Pike-Lincoln Technical Center means students interested in welding have options. Welding training and access to a non-credit certificate are now available thanks to Missouri’s MoManufacturingWins grant. In 2015, SCC will offer classes leading

to a Certificate and Associate of Applied Science degree in general technology with an emphasis in welding.

For 20-plus years, the Adult Education and Literacy Program has provided classes in basic reading, math and writing skills at no cost to residents in St. Charles, Warren, Lincoln and Pike counties. Students prepare for the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) and non-native speakers gain English proficiency.

In 2013, the college began offering a GED (now HiSET) hybrid class that combines online classwork with face-to-face instructional assistance designed to help residents in the extended service region obtain credentials needed to gain employment or move up in a current job.

While SCC has a rich tradition in St. Charles County as a leader in higher education, an increased effort is underway to better support residents in the college’s extended service region – Lincoln, Pike, Montgomery and Callaway counties.

Extending our reach

Additional work underway includes:

• Expanded online course offerings as well as hybrid classes that meet partly on campus and partly online.

• Class schedule enhancements to make it easier for students who travel a long distance to build schedules that require only two trips to campus a week.

• Ongoing efforts to respond to local needs throughout our service area.

“These communities can really benefit from increased educational access and that is what the community college mission is all about,” said Chris Breitmeyer, vice president for academic and student affairs.

The college partnered with Great Rivers Greenway to connect the Dardenne Greenway Trail through campus, a 1.5-mile walking and biking path linking existing paths and creating nearly five miles of continuous connectivity.

In May, three inner-campus walking paths became official when trail markers funded by the SCC Employee Sponsored Program were constructed, making it easy for walkers to locate .33-mile, 1-mile and 1.5-mile paths on campus.

College Meadows Park, a new St. Charles County Park, is under construction on 80 undeveloped acres on campus that will include a disc golf course and fitness trail.

“Collaborations like these benefit everyone, providing a safe and beautiful route of walkers and bikers and helping our city to be a great place to live, work, play and go to school,” said Ron Chesbrough, SCC president.

Campus and community wellness opportunities expanded in the spring thanks to local and regional collaborations with SCC.

DREAMS A REALITY

Statewide adoption of federal College and Career Readiness standards has triggered a revamp of SCC’s Adult Education & Literacy (AEL) program.

In January, SCC transitioned from GED preparatory courses to the Educational Testing System’s High School Equivalency (HiSET) preparatory courses and exam.

According to a national report, the College and Career Readiness standards will “forge a stronger link among adult education, postsecondary education and the world of work. It presents a starting point for raising awareness and understanding of the critical skills and knowledge expected and required for success in colleges, technical training programs and employment in the 21st century.”

This approach is valuable to AEL students transitioning into higher education. “The HiSET provides a score indicating whether that student is college-ready in a specific test subject,” said Amanda Rose, associate dean of extended learning. Rose also noted that the HiSET is only administered on the computer, and that marks a significant change from the paper- and computer-based GED.

Amy Koehler focuses on preparing students to be successful both in college and as professionals.

As faculty chair of the Associate Degree Nursing and Practical Nursing programs and associate professor of nursing and allied health, Koehler’s collaborative skills and devotion to patient care help keep SCC nursing students in demand as caring, well-trained professionals ready to work and eager to extend their education.

Koehler is attuned to the “focus on the outcome” required by the changing health care industry. She championed “flipped classroom” technology by podcasting lectures and applying classroom time to hands-on activities, group discussion and team-teaching, giving students access to primary faculty throughout their SCC experience.

“Amy gives her nursing students an edge in learning, whether they’re headed straight for patient care or on to their bachelor’s degree,” said Chris Breitmeyer, vice president for academic and student affairs.

Expanding SCC’s highly regarded

nursing program

The 2013 graduating class in the Health Information Technology Program posted a 93.75 percent pass rate on the RHIT exam, compared to a 69 percent national pass rate.

The Nursing and Allied Health Division offered the Patient Care Technician Program for the first time, and it reached maximum enrollment. All students who completed the program passed the national certification exam and have jobs.

The Nursing and Allied Health program moved to a new campus, allowing for improved resources and increased enrollment capacity.

St. Peters-based SunEdison Semiconductor’s gift of $100,000, payable over four years, is notable not only for its generosity but also for its statement of confidence in homegrown talent.

“By choosing to invest in education locally, SunEdison helps keep quality education affordable for students preparing for in-demand careers,” said Kasey McKee, vice president for college advancement and planning. The gift, the largest the SCC

Foundation has ever received, is being used for student scholarships and academic enhancements for SCC’s expanding Pre-Engineering Program.

“SunEdison is keen to encourage education in science, engineering and technology, and we are proud to support St. Charles Community College’s efforts in this area,” said Graham R. Fisher, Ph.D., chief scientist at SunEdison.

Laura was always interested in becoming a nurse, but she thought she wasn’t smart enough. She encouraged her children to stay in school and decided to follow her own advice. While juggling classwork, a job and family, she looked for ways to help pay for her education. She applied for and received scholarships from Friends of SSM St. Joseph Auxiliary Nursing and the O’Fallon Rotary Club and quickly learned how capable she was of being successful in school. In May, Laura earned her Associate of Science degree in nursing. She recently accepted a position as an operating room nurse at a local hospital and plans to pursue her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing at the University of Missouri at Columbia.

A new cooperative agreement with UMSL will allow education students to complete an UMSL bachelor’s degree on the SCC campus.

New cooperation was established with Missouri State University School of Agriculture including student participation in exploratory sessions about career options in agriculture. SCC is a member of the Advisory Board of a consortium comprising Missouri State, Southeast Missouri State, Truman State, Northwest Missouri State and Central Missouri State universities.

Through Long-Range Planning efforts, cross-departmental teams addressed eight of the 38 strategic plan objectives. Some 75 employees discussed, debated and ultimately decided on actions to move SCC forward, and $592,000 was made available to fund new initiatives and enhancements vetted through the planning process.

The Missouri Reverse Transfer was finalized to identify students at four-year institutions who have met the degree requirements necessary to earn an associate degree. The degree award better reflects their educational efforts and allows students to compete more successfully in other academic arenas and the workforce.

Laura Helling, director of development at Wings of Hope, received the 2014 Distinguished Alumni Award from the SCC Foundation.

The Food Services Department received grade “A” scores during each Health Department Inspection throughout the 2014 fiscal year. Unique to this accomplishment, Scooter’s Place and the Cougar Café both received “100” scores during the spring inspection.
