JWCC holds 15th annual Livestock Judging Invitational

John Wood Community College will host a free outdoor art installation on Thursday, October 11 from 7:30 a.m. until sunset, on the Quincy campus, located at 1301 South 48^thStreet. The boxes will be placed on the east side of the campus near the front middle entrance. The exhibit is free to the public. 

The installation is titled “Sun Boxes” and is comprised of twenty speakers operating independently, each powered by the sun via solar panels.  There is a different loop set to play a guitar note in each box continuously.  These guitar notes collectively make a Bb chord.  Because the loops are different in length, once the piece begins they continuously overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time. 

The art is the creation of Arkansas sound artist Craig Colorusso. JWCC is one of several locations in the area to host the musical installation. For more information, contact Addie Seabarkrob, JWCC fine arts instructor, at 217.641.4997, or email aseabarkrob@jwcc.edu.

John Wood Community College Trustees, meeting in regular session Wednesday, October 17, in Quincy heard a report on the College’s high school graduate market share.

Dean of Enrollment Services and Director of Financial Aid Melanie Lechtenberg shared that JWCC enrolled 30 percent of the 946 high school graduates from the College’s district in the fall of 2018.  The College’s ten-year market share average also stands at 30 percent.

Seven of the 15 high schools in JWCC’s district sent more graduates to JWCC this fall compared to last year. Those high schools included Bluffs, Liberty, Payson-Seymour, Quincy Notre Dame, Quincy, Southeastern and Western.

Lechtenberg also shared that JWCC’s enrolled more students from nearby Missouri high schools as a result of outreach to attract students into programs to support the Tri-state area’s workforce needs. JWCC’s share of 2018 graduates from Missouri High Schools in Clark, Knox, Lewis, Marion, Monroe, Pike, Ralls, Shelby, Scotland counties increased from 2 to 4 percent compared to last year.

In other business, the Board:

Adopted a resolution declaring the intent to approve the annual equity adjustment for the 2018 tax year as permitted by state statute. JWCC is one of 16 community colleges in the state eligible by law for the adjustment because the College operates at a tax rate below the statewide average.  The adjustment is 6.62 cents per $100 equalized assessed valuation (EAV), which would generate an estimated $1,080,615 for JWCC’s operation fund for the 2019 budget year.  The Board announces its intent for the equity adjustment every October prior to its annual levy. The overall tax levy will be discussed at future meetings.

Approved a resolution to abate the 2018 tax levied to pay General Obligation Bonds (Alternate Revenue Source), Series 2012 used to fund energy efficiency projects.  JWCC has sufficient funds from operations for the annual payment of the principal and interest on these bonds.  As a result, the counties of Adams, Pike, Hancock, Calhoun, Schuyler, Brown, Morgan, Scott and Cass will not collect approximately $95,000 for payment in 2018.

Authorized and accepted the 2018 fiscal year audit.

Approved a 5.8 percent increase in premium costs for the College and JWCC employees to cover rising costs of services while maintaining the College’s insurance fund balance.

Adopted Board Policy 412 regarding student engagement in coursework.

Approved submission of a grant application of between $25,000 and $50,000 to the Illinois Community College Board for a Career and Technical Education Leadership Grant to support the Early Childhood Education program.

The next regular meeting of the JWCC Board of Trustees is set for November 14 at 7 p.m. at the campus in Quincy.

John Wood Community College will offer a 2-week non-credit recertification course for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) at its Quincy Campus starting Monday, November 26. The course will include both four classroom days and one clinical in which a manual skills test will be completed.

The CNA recertification program is for students that have previously been deemed competent as a CNA but have a period of 24 consecutive months that the individual has not provided nursing or nursing-related services for pay and has lost approved certification. To meet the Illinois Department of Public Health requirements, students must pass both a manual skills test and the written competency test. Once the course has been successfully completed and the manual skills test successfully passed, the student is placed on the Nurse Aide State Registry, and can sit for the written competency exam.

Students needing recertification must complete the JWCC non-credit class registration form. The approximate total of tuition and fees for the program is $300, which does not include preparation costs including update of any health requirements or criminal background checks.

Twenty-five Percent of Credit Hours Delivered Online; Seven Concentrations Available; Six Entry Points during Year

John Wood Community College has been recognized as one of the best colleges offering online learning in the state of Illinois by the Community for Accredited Online Schools (AccreditedSchoolsOnline.org). JWCC was ranked sixth among the state’s community colleges offering online degrees based on quality, affordability, flexibility and degrees granted to students.

As a leading resource for campus and online learning, the site recently released its annual ranking for the 2018-2019 school year. To qualify, schools must be regionally or nationally accredited, hold a not-for-profit status in the United States, and offer at least one online degree.

JWCC began offering online learning in 2002, and in 2014 created its 2x2 accelerated online program which allows students to take two eight-week online classes at a time to complete an associate degree.  Last year the College began a four-week online winter session to further its offerings for students to pursue credits during the holiday break. Today nearly 25 percent of all JWCC credits are delivered online.

JWCC students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree entirely online with seven concentrations in accounting, business, economics, education, history, psychology and sociology.  Students may begin online courses at six separate entry points during the academic year.  JWCC credits transfer to hundreds of four-year universities across the country.  More information is available atwww.jwcc.edu/online 

Dana Simmons of Canton, Missouri, is one of hundreds of students pursuing an online degree from JWCC.

“I’ve had my own business for several years and decided to make a career change,” Simmons said. “Being able to take the first two years of my psychology degree online is the key to making that possible. It has helped me continue to work, take care of my family and pursue this next path in my life.”  

“Students’ schedules and expectations continue to demand convenient, quality and relevant education, which is why we continue to find ways to deliver more courses online with more starting points throughout the year,” Stephanie Phillips, JWCC’s interim dean of arts and sciences shared.  “We also want to ensure students’ success through multiple avenues of support. That means making sure a student understands the expectations of online learning at the point of registration and also how to connect with the material, instructor and fellow students throughout the class.”

The Community for Accredited Online Schools (AccreditedSchoolsOnline.org) was founded in 2011 to provide students and parents with quality data and information about pursuing an education that has been certified by an accrediting agency.
