OUR MISSION... To empower people by raising aspirations and fostering achievement through dynamic, compassionate and responsible learning experiences.

Letter From ThePresident


Lewis and Clark has experienced tremendous success throughout its more than four decades, but I can’t remember a year that brought more institutional transformation and momentous achievements than 2013. Each year, we tout the noteworthy accomplishments that our faculty, staff, students, donors and community supporters help us achieve. This year’s annual report is no different in terms of the great news we are sharing with you. However, I think you’ll agree this

year’s headlines continue to advance the institution and our impact in ways that we have never before experienced.

Here are just a few of the achievements we are proud to share with you from 2013:

The report, released by Economic Modeling Specialists International (EMSI), demonstrates that in addition to being an economic driver for the region, Lewis and Clark is also an economic driver for its students. It states that L&C graduatescanexpecttoearnonaverage$7,100moreeachyearthansomeonewithahighschooldiplomaorequivalent–equatingtomorethan$290,000inhigher income over a working lifetime.

Economic Impact By the Numbers

Members of the Holliday family, of Alton, are part of a larger network of community members who have received their education at Lewis and Clark Community College and now work in professions in our district. Pictured from left: Chelcie, a freshman at Lewis and Clark (Fall 2013), is a graduate of Alton High School and a Golden Eagle scholarship recipient who plans to study pediatric medicine. Don, her father, receivedhisparamediccertificationatthecollege and serves as a paramedic at Alton MemorialHospitalandasanAltonfirefighter.Kary, her mother, is a graduate of Lewis and Clark’s nursing program and is a registered nurse at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Alton.

L&C students will see an increase in earnings of $7,100 each year compared to someone with a high school diploma or equivalent.

Over a working lifetime, this increase in earnings amounts to a value of more than $290,000 in higher income.

For every $1 a student spends on their education at L&C, they can expect to see a cumulative $7.20 in higher future wages.

The average annual rate of return for students is 28.5%

For every $1 of public funds invested in L&C, taxpayers can expect to see a return of $2.40.

Total annual benefits to taxpayers equal $87 million (the sum of added taxes by graduates and public sector savings).

The average annual rate of return for taxpayers is 6.4%.

The annual actual cost to taxpayers is$36.6 million (the sum of funding L&C receives from state and local government).

The investment of state and local tax dollars in the college returns more to government budgets than it cost.

L&C adds $338.5 million to the local economy each year through the effect of college operations, student spending and the result of former L&C students employed in the L&C service area.

This added income is equal to 4.6% of the region’s Gross Regional Product.

L&C Earns Maximum Accreditation from Higher Learning CommissionFollowing a comprehensive self-study process and a site visit from the Higher Learning Commission’s six-member reaccreditation team in March 2013, Lewis and Clark Community College earned the maximum 10-year accreditation, with no follow up action required.

“Lewis and Clark Community College is an impressive institution which has the structures, practices,financialresources,employees,andculture in place to effectively serve its students and the community,” the HLC accreditation team, comprised of academic leaders from community collegesfromacrossthecountry,wroteinitsfinalreport.

In particular, the college was recognized for its ability to thrive in a negative economic environment.

“We are very happy with the outcome of this accreditation site visit. Our campus community worked hard for more than two years as we prepared for this site visit from our regional accrediting association. Our students and the communities we serve should view this as a higher education seal of academic and institutional excellence,” said Vice President of Academic Affairs Linda Chapman.

The college’s next reaccreditation process is set for 2022-2023.

L&C Hosts All-Class Monticello Reunion

Lewis and Clark welcomed graduates of Monticello College for a reunion in 2013, drawing alumnae representing graduating classes between 1944 and 1971 to their alma mater’s former campus on Sept. 15.

The alumnae visited, toured campus, got a sneak preview of the Winifred Godfrey art exhibit, and reminisced over Monticello artifacts recovered from the Caldwell Hall cornerstone in 2012.

Monticello College was founded by Capt. Benjamin Godfrey in 1838. An advocate for

women’s education, the village’s namesake is often quoted as saying, “If you educate a man, you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.”

“The Monti alum reunion was just superb,” said Linda Nevlin, alumna and executive director of the Monticello College Foundation. “There was a wonderful atmosphere of camaraderie and joyfulness in a common sharing of happymemories of school days at Monticello, as well as delight in the beautiful campus of today.”

They have helped renovate L&C’s Community Learning Center by pouring concrete sidewalks, repairing stairs and installing handrails. Both YouthBuild and HCCTP began utilizing the newly constructed 5,000 square-foot annex at the Community Learning Center as a construction lab in 2013. The annex features a separate

location for carpentry and a metal shop where welding, grinding and torch cutting take place.

A cohort of seven students also worked with Luke Jumper’s Architectural students to design and construct an outdoor pavilion from repurposed wood that was used to build the retrospective exhibit, “Winifred Godfrey: 40 Years of Painting.” The cohort was also the

L&C Clinics Serve More Than 100,000 Patients

The Lewis and Clark Family Health Clinic, a nurse managed center, is the only primary care clinic operated by a community college in the nation. The clinic offers primary care through services offered by nurse practitioners, dental hygienists and other healthcare professionals on the college faculty to the community, regardless of need. The clinic is unique because of the way it combines academic programming with the offering of low cost primary care, preventive healthcare and health education.

The clinic has provided more than 108,000 client encounters since 2007, focusing on primary care, health education and prevention. It also offers expanded services that are not provided by other existing regional clinics.

The L&C Family Health Clinic has been recognized with numerous awards, including the 2008 Illinois Rural Health Association Special Exemplary Project Award, the 2009 Innovation Award from the Illinois Council of Community Colleges and the 2010 MetLife Innovation Award.

The Paul B. Hanks Dental Hygiene Clinic served 690 patients in 2013 and has served approximately 8,500 patients since opening in 2002. The dental clinic also serves as a part of the Student Success Center by helping students in need of pre-clinical and clinical enhancement and tutoring. In 2013, more than 40 students utilized this service. The Fifth Annual Clean and Screen, which served more than 50 children with dental education and free preventive dental care, in collaboration with the Nursing program and the OTA program, was also held in the dental clinic in 2013.

L&C Initiates Innovative Practice Model at Family Health ClinicL&C Dean of Health Sciences Donna Meyer and Dr. Poonam Jain, of Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, were one of seven interprofessional teams, the only team representing a community college, to receive the Oral-Systemic Health Curricular Innovation Development Award in 2013.

The funds from the award are helping L&C initiatethefirststeptowardaninnovativeinterprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) at the Family Health Clinic, in collaboration with the SIU School of Dental Medicine. The goal of the IPCP is to integrate primary healthcare with a focus on nursing and dental care.

Health and Wellness Committee Forms at L&CLewis and Clark’s Interprofessional Collaboration Committee for Wellness (ICCW) was created to identify, promote and provide wellness opportunities through education, activities, programs, resources and lifestyle options. The committee’s mission is to engage, enrich and empower the L&C community in wellness through interprofessional collaborative practice, activities and education.

TheICCWlaunchedthefirstofmanywellnessinitiatives for L&C faculty and staff in the fall of 2013. These programs included the Biggest Loser Competition, Walking Groups (now known as Wellness in Motion), Brown Bag lunches with a wellness focus, weekly online health tips posted in the L&C Portal (“healthy bytes”) and a healthy cooking class held off campus.

So far, the committee’s initiatives have been very successful, and new cohorts of both the Biggest Loser Competition and Wellness in Motion began in January 2014. In the future, the ICCW hopes to expand its programs to include students and eventually the greater community.

L&C Earns Second Governor’s Sustainability AwardL&C was the only community college to be honored with the 2013 Governor’s Sustainability Award, presented by the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) Oct. 29 in Peoria.

“Lewis and Clark considers itself a regional and statewide leader in the Sustainability movement,” said L&C Director of Sustainability Nate Keener. “We are proud to be the only Illinois community college to earn the 2013 Governor’s Sustainability Award and will continue to vigorously pursue a more sustainable future. We will continue to work with students, campus staff and industry and community partners to achieve our shared and worthwhile goals.”

Green Touchscreens Added to Godfrey Campus

In 2013, the college added two “green touchscreen” monitors near the dining areas in The Commons and Reid Hall. Students can use them to track energy and water usage in campus buildings as well as learn more about sustainability at Lewis and Clark.

L&C Collaborating with Ameren to House One of the Nation’s First Alternative Energy Fuel CellsLewis and Clark President Dale Chapman announced in 2013 that the college is the recipientofoneofthenation’sfirstalternative energy, state-of-the-art fuel cells, to be installed on the Godfrey campus in early April 2014.

The college was one of three Midwest schools, including the Missouri University of Science and Technology and Kentucky, to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Ameren in 2013 for the purpose of installing and operating a fuel cell.

“LewisandClarkwillbeoneofthefirstsitesinthe Midwest to access this new technology, and we are honored that Ameren has selected our campus for this collaborative effort,” Chapman said.

A fuel cell is a device that generates electricity from natural gas by a chemical reaction, which produces an electrical current that can be directed outside the cell to do work, such as powering an electric motor or illuminating a light bulb or a city.

L&C’s fuel cell will generate 5kw power, provide a teaching opportunity for L&C faculty in an important alternative energy technology, offer Ameren a fuel cell demonstration site for its strategic partners and provide data on fuel cell technology associated with dashboard systems for both Ameren and L&C’s Sustainability program master plan.

The fuel cell will be located outside the Hatheway Cultural Center in a gated area, and the waste heat will heat the Olympic-sized swimming pool inside the building.

If fuel cells become more commercially viable, consumers could generate their own electricity at their homes and businesses, leading to savings on energy bills, according to Ameren.com.

www.lc.edu - 27

In addition, the energy produced by the cells is much more sustainable than fossil fuels, because they produce less carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas.

“Not only will Lewis and Clark be reducing our grid costs and producing energy, but we will also be working with Ameren and their strategic partners to betterunderstandandresearchthebenefitsoffuelcelltechnologyandhowthisnew technology can help the college achieve its sustainability goals,” Chapman said.

“Lewis and Clark has been a leader in sustainability efforts, and having this innovative new fuel cell technology will continue to place us in the forefront of alternative energy initiatives,” said L&C Dean of Math, Science and Technology Sue Czerwinski. “Additionally, our environmental science and pre-engineering students will have exposure to the latest technologies available, and we are thrilled to offer them these unique learning experiences.”

2013 Summer Garden Show featured a ‘Menagerie in Bloom’A fanciful menagerie of colorful blossoms and a special selection of plantings in creature form added something new to Lewis and Clark’s Monticello Sculpture Gardens in 2013.

“With the guidance of our landscape architects Terra Design, we have chosen a variety of bedding plant favorites whose plant characteristics evokethe images of creatures in our animal kingdom, both real and imagined,” said Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman. “The special plantings ondisplaythissummerareeachsignifiedwithaninterpretive panel, which feature an illustration of the creature for which the plant is named.”

The illustrations, original creations by Lewis and Clark Professor Emeritus Patrick Dailey, were featured on interpretive panels paired with plantings that included black dragons, rosy-cheeked angels, GLORIOUS yellow cockscomb, blackbirds and more. The panels also featured individual QR codes, for users with smart phones to scan for more information.

Zooplankton Studied in Aquatic Mesocosms

Phase II of Field Station Construction Completed

Scientists were able to collect plankton samples from several gallons of water in the mesocosms and condense it to a few ounces, which they studied under a microscope.

“We saw several species of microscopic plants and animals, and atfirstglancethediversityofspeciesappearstobesimilartowhatwefindnaturallyintheMississippiRiver,andthat’simportant because we would never be able to recreate that natural community in our lab,” said Lori Gittinger, an NGRREC aquatic ecologist.

Phase II of construction on The National Great Rivers Research and Education Center’s Field Station was completed in 2013, adding a conference room and aquatic mesocosms for river research. The mesocosms consist of three 50-foot by 6-foot concrete raceways, which can each be split into two channels and are capable of pumping more than three million gallons of water to the system per day, while keeping its plankton community, sediment and nutrients intact. The water comes from the Mississippi River via a pump located near the Dynegy Wood River Power Station, which takes in 350 million gallons of river water each day for cooling purposes. Ultimately, the information gained from research in these mesocosms will help state and federal decision makers develop better river management strategies.

Aquatic mesocosms used for river research were completed and filled with water from the Mississpppi river at the NGRREC field station in the fall of 2013.

THE FOUNDATIONwww.lc.edu - 33

Dear Champions and Game-Changers,

From the bottom of the hearts of Lewis and Clark’s 20,000 plus students, thank you for your unwavering support. In fact, “unwavering” is not the best term to use since your donations increased 41percentin2013!Ihopethatyoutakeaminutetocelebratethisachievement.Itisallbecauseofyou. As I celebrate your philanthropy, I must pause and wonder: Why are we so deeply invested in Lewis and Clark Community College? It’s because L&C is Life Changing. We know this because Lewis and Clark has changed a life in each one of our families. We know this because of the stories of student achievement that we read in the newspapers. We know this because of thestatisticswereadinDiscovermagazine(mylatestfavoritebeingthe$716,566awardedinscholarships in 2013).

When I was new to this board, I was amazed by the college’s priorities and its ability to achieve such high aspirations. I wondered if I would ever learn it all and be able to understand why we are doing all of these different projects. Three years later, I’m still learning… but I realize that what matters most is embracing and sharing the College’s purpose…to empower people and communities. Once I internalized this, an understanding of our goals fell into place. This took time and discussion, so I encourage you to ask a lot of questions when you visit with the Director of Development of the Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation. The Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation is a fundraising organization on a mission to support the college. When a donor wanted to send a student to college through a scholarship, the Foundation was there to help make the connection. When the community wanted an exhibit to tell the story of Rocky Fork, the Foundation was there to help fund the project. When the Board of Trustees approved the addition of a career program, the Foundation was there to help with start-up funding. When the State of Illinois approved a new building on campus, the Foundation was there to help raise private matching funds for the project. And when tuition, fees and taxes fall short of actual expenses, the Foundation is there to bridge the gap and keep costs down for our students and taxpayers. Another fact that shows how life changing L&C can be is this: 746 people earned associate degrees last year. According to the U.S. Department of Education, this is 60 percent more than the median (450 graduates) of the comparison group that they put us in. That means we have an excellent completion rate and these educated students go on to become productive citizens. Your philanthropy has a direct impact on students, your family, me and the lives of 220,000 others living in Lewis and Clark’s seven-county district. Thank you, again, for your generous support. Sincerely,

Jane Saale2013 President, Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation

Donor Spotlight: Godfrey Womens Club Endows Scholarship During 17 Years of GivingSmall but mighty. That’s an accurate description of the Godfrey Women’s Club. This group of 60 women is on a mission to improve the lives of people living in Godfrey, Ill. Named after Benjamin Godfrey, the village boasts Lewis and Clark Community College, bluff-edged neighborhoods, incredible parks and recreation areas, a fascinating history, and hard-working people with the very best in Midwestern values. When people like that from a place like this put their minds to achieving a goal, there is no stopping them. Such is the case withtheGodfreyWomen’sClub.InNovember1997,theclubdonated$1,000to the Foundation to support scholarships. Mary Ann Landreth and Marsha

Donor Spotlight: Bruker Family Endows Scholarship in Memory of L&C Faculty MemberWhen Jane K. Bruker passed away in December 2010, the entire college campus mourned with her family. A faculty member for three years, and then the director of the Nursing program, Jane made a huge impact on her students and peers. “She inspired individuals to create change. She made you feel that your words, ideas, and actions would create the change. She challenged you in her own special way,” said Donna Meyer, a longtime friend and dean of Health Sciences. “Some people can tell you that you areintelligent and capable, but Jane, by her actions, made you believe it.” In memory of Jane, the LC Board of Trustees established a scholarship in her name. Her husband and seven children made a commitment to make her legacy permanent. Three years and 120 gifts later, the Bruker family honored hermemorybyreachingtheirgoalofsaving$20,000toendowtheJaneK.Bruker Memorial Scholarship for Nursing. We applaud this family for their vision and dedication.
