Kaskaskia College receives grant from Monsanto Fund
T
he Kaskaskia College
Board of Trustees met
Monday, June 22 for the
regular monthly meeting. Board members
include John W. Hawley (Odin), Jim
Beasley (Centralia), Linda Stover (Centralia), Jack Mays (Centralia), Dee
Boswell (Centralia), Bryan Holthaus
(Aviston), Kelly Bennett (Irvington)
and Student Trustee Karlie Nattier
(Patoka).
The board learned that the college
has been chosen as the recipient of a
$6,975 grant from the Monsanto Fund’s
2013 Site Grant initiative. The Centralia site will be awarding funds to the
Kaskaskia College Foundation to help
fund the Kaskaskia College and Centralia Junior High School Early College
Awareness Partnership. The Kaskaskia
College and Centralia Junior High
School Early College Awareness Partnership will reach out to eighth-grade
students who would be first-generation
college students and their parents.
Through two major events, these students and their families will be educated in how to make their dreams of a
college education a reality. The first
event will inform students and parents
of the steps they should begin taking as
they enter high school to prepare for
college including curriculum planning,
dual-credit and financial planning. The
second event will increase student comfort level with the college environment
and familiarity with college processes
by bringing these students and their
families onto Kaskaskia College’s campus to provide them with a mock col-
lege experience including admission,
registration, advising, financial aid, a
classroom experience and commencement.
The Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company,
is a nonprofit organization dedicated to
strengthening the farm communities
where farmers and Monsanto Company
employees live and work.
The Board learned that eight Career
and Technical Educational students
competed nationally at the SkillsUSA
Conference and Skill Competition held
in Kansas City, MO. Several national
recognitions along with one medal
were earned.
The students and advisors earning
the national recognitions include: Cody
Gill, Hoffman, 3rd place, Criminal Justice. Cody also earned the Skill Point
certificate recognizing the value of
SkillsUSA Work Force Ready System;
Michael “Colton” White, Centralia,
earned 4th place in Computer Programming and also earned the Skill Point
certificate; Kenneth Michael, Salem,
earned 6th place in Computer Maintenance Technology; Brian Winnett,
Salem, earned 8th place in Technical
Computer Applications/Network
Administration and also earned the
Skill Point certificate; the team of
Kelsey Knott, Carlyle and Brianna
Holtz, Breeze earned 10th place in Nail
Care; Jonathon Beavers, Carlyle,
earned 12th place in Cosmetology and
the Skill Point certificate; Josh Sloat,
Centralia, earned recognition in Carpentry.
These students earned the privilege
of representing Illinois as competitors

at the 49th National Leadership and
Skills Conference sponsored by SkillsUSA. The eight students earned the
right to compete at the national level
when they earned first place in their
technical areas at the Illinois SkillsUSA
Championships this spring in Springfield, IL.
The Board also heard a report that
KC Beta Rho Chapter of Phi Beta
Lambda attended the Illinois State
Leadership Conference. The students
competed with others from many different two and four-year colleges
throughout the state in categories such
as public speaking, word processing,
marketing, sports management, desktop
publishing, hospitality management,
and many more. The competing students were Nicole Firebaugh of Centralia, Amy Sapp of Salem, Angela
Berry of Salem, and Stacy Horst of
Hoyleton.
Nicole Firebaugh, chapter president,
placed first in Marketing Concepts &
Analysis and third in Word Processing.
Angela Berry, chapter secretary, placed
second in Human Resource Management. Amy Sapp and Angela Berry
formed a team and brought home sec-
KC’s Salem Education Center is a “one-stop
shop” for students and the community
T
he Kaskaskia College
Salem Education Center has grown into a
“one-stop shop” for
both students and
community members, according to
Salem Center Director Janice Eischens.
Built based upon Kaskaskia College’s philosophy of “bringing education to the times and places convenient to the learner,” the Center has
expanded both in size and in services
offered. The current location at 1475
W. Whittaker has five classrooms, all
equipped with smart room technology,
a state-of-the-art computer lab, a
tutoring room, a wet (science) lab, an
industrial/health occupation lab, and a
conference room. Its open computer
lab is in constant use from the time
the doors open until closing with both
students and individuals from the
community coming in to access free
computer time. The conference room
and the multipurpose room, which can
be opened up to accommodate up to
50 people, has become a favorite for
community groups and organizations
to hold their meetings.
In addition, several start-up businesses call the Center home, under the
Small Business Incubator Program,
which allows for some area startups to
lease offices at the Education Centers
for a period of up to three years, while
the staff at the Center make them-
selves available for questions and are
eager to help in any way they can.
Along with the expansion of the
Salem Center and the services it offer
to the community, recent changes
have allowed for an expansion of the
Center’s educational opportunities it
offers to students. Under an agreement signed earlier this year,
Kaskaskia College is now able to
offer full degree programs at each of
its Education Centers, where before
only half of the credit hours needed
for a degree could be earned off campus. With the advent of online classes,
in which students need only computer
and Internet access to attend classes,
and distance learning classes through
the College’s network of distance
learning classrooms, Salem, as well as
other Education Centers, can now
offer much more programming than
what was available when every class
meant a rigid schedule of face-to-face
class meetings.
Perhaps the hallmark for this at the
Salem Center is the new degree
offered in Paramedicine, which graduated its first class in the spring. Lucinda Spencer, Coordinator for the Paramedicine program, has her office in
the Salem Center, from which she
coordinates Paramedicine classes,
including CPR classes, at the Salem
Center as well as other Education
Centers and the Main and Vandalia

Laura Dunn receives ADA and
ADAA scholarships
L
aura Dunn of
Xenia, a recent
graduate of the
Kaskaskia College Dental
Assisting Program, was awarded
two prestigious scholarships; one
from the American Dental Association in the amount of $1,000
and one from the American Dental Assistants Association for
$750.
“She is so deserving,” KC Professor and Director of the Dental
Assisting Program Lorraine
Schmidt said. “Laura goes above
and beyond on any task that is
assigned to her. It is gratifying to
me personally and for the program to have these deserving students recognized for their excellence.” Another student, Melissa
Hately of Highland, also received
the $750 ADAA scholarship.
These scholarships are very
competitive. Each accredited dental assisting school may submit
only one application for the ADA
scholarship, and Laura was chosen as one of ten recipients from
the 278 eligible schools listed by
the ADA. The ADAA scholarship
W
W
also has ten recipients, and
Kaskaskia College students
earned two of them, which is a
testament to the quality of the
program.
Laura was initially unsure of
herself as a student in the Dental
Assisting program, and credits
KC and Lori Schmidt for helping
her realize that she has the potential to do a great amount of good
in the world. “I told Lori I wanted to become a dentist,” Laura
said, “and she was so encouraging and helped me so much.”
Laura now has big plans for
the future. She has enrolled in the
Pre-Dentistry program at Southern Illinois University
Edwardsville for the Fall semester, with the aim of becoming
first a dentist and eventually an
oral surgeon. “I would like to
specialize in facial trauma,” Laura said, “and volunteer some of
my services to Smile Train each
year.”
Smile Train is an international
charity devoted to repairing the
cleft palates of children in underdeveloped areas around the
world. Students are introduced to
Smile Train early in the program
at KC, and Lori Schmidt and her

students hold a number of
fundraisers throughout the school
year to collect money for the
charity. “Our students have raised
enough money each of the past
three years to repair the cleft
palates of two children per year,”
Schmidt said. “It makes me very
proud to see these students take
on a cause like this and work to
make the world a better place. It
fits with what we work to instill
in our students, the Core Values.”

Respect, Fairness, Compassion

Program
Geospatial farming workshop
S
A geospatial farming workshop was held in the Kaskaskia College Lifelong Learning Center on the main campus
on July 25. Dr. Mike Rudibaugh, geospatial technology instructor, and Randy McElroy of Monsanto presented
such topics as: what is GIS, GPS, and remote-sensing geospatial technology; how they relate to an agricultural
environment regarding issues such as soils, fertility, crop management, and crop yield; return on investment; and
connecting farmers and growers with the next generation of agricultural technicians to a full house of farming
professionals. Pictured: Dr. Mike Rudibaugh walks attendees through a GIS-related presentation at the geospatial farming workshop on the main campus at Kaskaskia College.

The program offers an Associate
of Applied Science Degree as
well as a one-year Certificate
Program.
Horticulture incorporates many
diverse disciplines, ranging from
greenhouse management to landscape design and maintenance to
floral arranging and more. Professor Jennifer Heinzmann feels
that the program offers many
aspects of horticulture field.
The job outlook is good for
graduates with degrees and certificates in Horticulture. According to Heinzmann, the outlook is
for above average job growth in
most areas of Horticulture. One
area she is especially excited
about is Landscape Design. “We

ment for adjunct faculty and provide face-to-face time with
departmental representatives, as
well as to share valuable information pertaining to KC’s policies,
procedures and instructional
processes. 33 adjunct faculty and
15 staff and full-time faculty
attended the academy.
In its quarterly report, Title III
updated the Board of Trustees on
several exciting ongoing initiatives. Retention Alert was a Title
III purchase made in the fall on
2012 and has made great strides
in helping students in need of special assistance get help faster.
Whether that means tutoring or
financial aid a retention alert
placed by a faculty member can
allow the Success Center to intervene and keep KC students on
their academic paths. Title III was
also able to report another successful Summer Institute, which
was held on campus in May. They
had record breaking attendance
and had excellent feedback from
attendees. The Summer Institute
was kicked off by the graduation
of those who participated in
Teachership Academy over the
2012-2013 academic year. This
group comprised of both full-time
and adjunct faculty presented
their final projects and then celebrated with a graduation ceremony.
The Board also heard a report
that throughout the summer,
Community Engagement meetings were held in Nashville, Trenton, Greenville, Vandalia and
Salem. The meetings were attended by Dr. Underwood, Bill Hawley, members of the KC administration as well as local community members. Each meeting was a
success and many great programing ideas as well as many wel-
coming ideas for the future were
discussed.
The Board approved a resolution to approve the use of excess
Protection, Health and Safety
(PHS) funds. The College sees a
need for the following repairs and
alterations of facilities of
Kaskaskia College: Flooring
Improvements for areas that pose
as a trip hazard; HVAC Repairs
throughout the Main Campus;
Fire Suppression System for the
Automotive Collision Technology
Paint Booth; and Abatement of
asbestos from the restroom water
valves. It was noted that in October 2011, the Board approved the
Restroom Renovations Phase II
project at an estimated cost of
$546,000 as part of PHS fund for
fiscal year 2013 and the College
now requests that the excess
funds from this project, established at approximately $200,000
to be reallocated for use on the
projects set forth.
The Board also approved a resolution for approval of Bond
Reallocations. A proposed funding model including bond funds
and fundraising campaigns has
been established and was
approved for five projects by the
College Board in November
2011. Given the unexpected availability of the State Animal Disease Lab Building which can now
be utilized for the KC’s Agricultural Education Center, the College can now re-allocate bond
funds and re-structure fundraising
campaigns. Projects include Nursing Building, Agriculture Education Center, Crisp Technology
Center, Trenton Education Center,
and Nashville Education Center.
The Board approved a resolution for approval of addition of
three alternates to the Trenton

Therefore, it was recommended
that an additional $172,200 be
allocated from bond funds to
complete the following three
alternates which were originally
excluded from the Trenton Project. These alternates include
Alternate A1 which includes three
incubator offices, a workroom, an
additional office which may be
used by the Small Business

fourth classroom; and Alternate
A6 for an entry canopy.
The Board approved a resolution for the approval to proceed
with bid specifications and
financing arrangements for the
purchase of buses for the athlete
department. The athletic department has identified a need for
additional options for transportation for their teams to travel to
competitions. It is recommended
that a 35 passenger bus and a 15
passenger bus be purchased. The
KC Sports Association (KCSA)
has identified bus purchases as a
project they will support to a level
of $90,000 and have also agreed
to provide $50,000 of this total
initially to be used as a down payment on the purchase. The KC
Athletic Department has committed to raising $30,000 per year for
three years totaling an additional
$90,000.

allows a designer to take a photograph of an existing landscape,
remove unwanted aspects, add
plantings and architectural elements, and give clients a tangible
way of seeing how a proposed
design will look before work
begins. In a slow economy, such
as we are currently experiencing,
this allows property managers
and home-sellers to enhance the
curb appeal of their properties,
giving prospective buyers a great
first impression.” Aside from the
business aspect, landscape design
has another attraction, according
to Heinzmann. “Well designed
landscapes can not only be beautiful, but calming as well. Helping people create a peaceful
place is so rewarding,” she said,
“it makes the hard work worthwhile.”
Recent Horticulture Program
graduate Linda Duncan of Carlyle says, “The Horticulture Program was a great learning experience and as a non-traditional student I felt accepted and challenged! The various classes in the
Horticulture program were interesting and fun. I’ve always had a
passion for growing plants and
gardening and after completing
the Horticulture program I now
have the education to excel in it!”
The Horticulture program is
not just for certificate or degree
seekers. Many students who are
enrolled in other programs find
Horticulture classes to be a
rewarding elective. These students take individual classes in
areas that interest them, learning
home gardening, how to propagate bedding plants, creating floral arrangements, etc.

campuses.
Utilizing its distance learning classroom, the Salem
Center can make available
classes that are taught at any
of the campuses or other
extension centers. This is not
only convenient for the students who do not have to
travel to attend a class; it
allows for a few students
from several different locations to use the technology to
make a class viable.
The Salem Center is also
part of the initiative called
Weekend College, in which
students who work full time
can take classes that meet on
Friday evenings and Saturdays and Sundays, breaking
the mold of classes that are
held mornings and afternoons
through the week. This allows
students with inflexible
schedules to also attend classes at KC.
In response to the College’s Community Engagement and Advisory Board
meetings, Kaskaskia College
is seeking to fill the needs of
the communities it serves by
expanding courses at the Education Centers. For the Salem
Center, an example of this is
the Keyboarding classes
offered in the fall.
Another service offered at
the Salem Center is Community Education classes. These
credit and non-credit classes
cover topics of interest from
getting the most use from an
iPad or iPhone, to basic and
intermediate computer classes, to hobbies such as writing
your life’s story to genealogy
and pet massage. As a service
to the senior citizens of the
area, these classes are offered
for free or a reduced amount
to persons 60 years of age or
over.
As part of its “One-stop”
philosophy, the Salem Center
also acts as a bus stop for the
South Central Transit line.
Utilizing the SCT, students
can travel to and from the
Salem center from locations
such as Centralia, including
KC’s main campus, for a few
dollars per trip. For more
information on the SCT,
please visit their website at
www.southcentraltransit.org.
The Salem Education Center is a growing, vibrant part
of Kaskaskia College’s educational network, and the
staff looks forward to serving
the ever expanding educational and community needs of
the Salem and Marion County
area. For more information
on the Salem Center, please
call the Center at (618) 5489001 or email the Director,
Janice Eischens, at [email protected].
