Building for the future was the theme of the 2012-2013 academic year as we initiated plans for several new construction and renovation projects at Copiah-Lincoln Community College.

Th e need to constantly repair and renovate an aging Wesson Campus was impacted by several grants this year including a Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation wellness grant that was used to renovate our track for campus and community use. Co-Lin also received a $1 million federal DOT grant to convert Co-Lin drive into a pedestrian walkway for our students and staff . Another project that fi nally kicked off this year was the long awaited restoration of Ellzey Hall. Crews moved on campus to begin the external restoration of one of our college’s original buildings.

Later this year, we expect to start construction on a new instructional building for our Early Childhood Development program. We are also involved in pre-planning construction of a new women’s dormitory and hope to have fi nancing lined up for that project at this time next year.

It was a year of success for our athletic programs proving once again that having a courageous heart and dedication are important when competing against teams with larger enrollment and better facilities. One of the highlights of the year for me as President was to have the opportunity to be on the fi eld after our Co-Lin Wolves football team won their fi rst state championship since 1985. I was very proud of how our team and

coaches represented the college in what was truly a miracle season for our team. We also had state championships in women’s basketball and men’s golf as well as individual state championships in women’s tennis. Just as important, three of our athletic teams fi nished the year ranked in the “top two” nationally in academics.

Th e faculty and staff at our three campuses continued to do great work to benefi t our students. Not only were they involved in our campus work, but many were actively involved in various academic, economic, and community organizations. A description of many of their activities and accomplishments is included in this President’s Report.

In 2012-2013, the Co-Lin Foundation experienced one of its best years ever in collecting donations and gifts to benefi t the college. Our Foundation assets now total almost $7 million and provide a needed fi nancial resource to Co-Lin. It is my hope all of our Co-Lin supporters and alumni will continue to assist our college’s growth and develop through their donations to the Foundation.

As college President, I am very proud of all that has been accomplished this past year, and I look forward to the years ahead. All of us at Co-Lin are optimistic about the future and are committed to providing quality education and support services to the students and communities we serve.

Dr. Ronald E. Nettles, President

It has been an incredible year fi lled with transformation and many accomplishments. Th e Career, Technical, and Workforce Education Division (CTWE) remains dedicated to the mission of improving the lives of our students and community members by preparing our students and trainees to compete in a 21st century workforce.

Funding Th e division received approximately $108,405 in Perkins federal funds this year. Funds were used to purchase equip-ment for many programs on the Wesson and Natchez cam-puses and the Simpson County Center.

Th e college was part of nine community colleges in Mis-sissippi and Louisiana who have received a $14,710,837 award through the Trade Adjustment Assistance Com-munity College and Career Training (TAACCT) Grant Training Program. Co-Lin received $886,965 to implement the Retraining the Gulf Coast Workforce through Informa-tion and Industrial Technology (IT) Pathways, which is a new, state-of-the art program aimed to assist displaced and unemployed workers as well as students without a high school diploma to complete a college credential, certifi cate, or degree. Completion of the program leads to a marketable entry-level certifi cation and lattices into multiple in-demand IT specialty pathways and certifi cations in Health Informa-tion, Computer Networking, Electronics, Cyber Security, Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC), Preci-sion Machining Technology, Welding, and Automation and Control. Students will have access to multiple entry and exit points along their chosen pathway and will receive a number of support services throughout enrollment, including career counseling, advising, and case management. Targeted creden-tials include Computer Support Specialist, Medical Records Specialist, and Network Security Specialist. Industry-recog-nized certifi cations include A+, Network+, Security +, Health Information Technology (HIT), NIMS, and NCCER Core.

Additionally, in partnership with Co-Lin’s Adult Basic Education division, the CTWE division received a $15,680 Project Success grant from the Mississippi Community College Board. One main outcome for this funding is to provide tuition, fees, and other support services for 20 female students who are participating in the TAACCCT grant. Ad-ditionally, funding from this project will be used to increase the percentage of females earning a self-suffi cient wage as a result of earning a degree or certifi cate in one of the college’s TAACCCT programs.

Finally, the CTE division received a $15,000 grant, the College and Career Readiness Grant, from the Mississippi Department of Education. Th ese funds were used to build and sustain relationships with secondary counterparts to ensure learning opportunities for secondary students, teach-ers, counselors, and administrators. Specifi cally, these funds were used to host a variety of conferences aimed to introduce

students to educational programs that are off ered at Co-Lin, as well as to get students focused on completing the right courses in high school to get them ready for success after high school.

Innovation Th roughout the past year, administrators and instructors from the division have worked to convert two existing CTE programs.

Th e Food Production Technology program was converted to Culinary Arts Technology program. Th is program will be off ered on the Wesson and Natchez campuses. Th is leading-edge program provides a solid foundation in the methods and science of cooking through exposure to classical, American, and international cuisine as well as the art of baking. Stu-dents who complete the Culinary Arts Technology program are eligible to obtain a ManageFirst Professional Credential certifi cate from the National Restaurant Association Edu-cational Foundation In addition, students completing this

program will be eligible to obtain ServSafe certifi cation from the National Restaurant Association.

Improving Partnerships In the fall, Lincoln County School District’s eighth and ninth graders participated in Co-Lin’s Pathways Accelerat-ing Careers, or PAC, Conference on the Wesson Campus. Co-Lin teachers and students spoke and put on demonstra-tions about college programs and what kinds of careers a student could expect after completing the courses. Students learned about robotics, medicine, drafting, engineering, automotive services, truck driving, welding, and electronics. Future plans will expand this opportunity to students in all school districts and at the Natchez Campus and Simpson County Center.

Over 200 10th-12th graders attended the Scrubs and Scopes Medical Camp. Students toured all medical-related careers on campus. Th is camp was sponsored by a grant from the MS Department of Education and King’s Daughters Medical Center (KDMC).

Steven Esch, Diesel Instructor; Pam Reid, Humanities Division Chair; and Nicole Donald, English Instructor met throughout the year to discuss the progress made and posi-tive outcomes of the CTE/Academic Community Teach-ing Project. In this project, Ms. Donald taught an English Composition I class to Diesel Technology Students and Mr. Esch integrated and reinforced the academic content in his classroom. Many students wrote their fi nal paper, a compari-son and contrast essay, about their technical skill. Students then moved to a CLIC B class, where Mrs. Reid continued integrating skills content into her speech classroom. Overall, the class was a huge success.

Accreditation Th e Medical Laboratory Technology received an excel-lent site visit from the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). Th e accrediting board of NAACLS met, and the MLT Program application for continued accreditation was reviewed for fi nal action.

Th e Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) notifi ed the college that the Respiratory Care Technology program is in compliance with program outcomes that have met or exceeded all currently set “thresh-

olds” for success on each of the required outcome measures according to accreditation standards and CoARC Accredi-tation Policies and Procedures.

Workforce Education at Co-Lin assisted district busi-ness and industry in training employees through fi nancial assistance and the provision of instructors. Funding for the training is provided by the Mississippi Community College Board. In 2012-2013, Workforce Education staff continued previous partnerships as well as entered into new partner-ships in the district. Th ose new projects included Magnolia Bluff s Casino and von Drehle of Natchez; Brown Electric, WWW Electric Company, and Chemstar of Brookhaven; Circle ‘S’ of New Hebron; Rural Rapid Response of Mead-ville; Lakeview Place of Magee.Training highlights for the year include:• Introducing approximately 50 new training topics cen-tered on Industrial Safety.• Providing customer service training to approximately 215 employees at Natchez Regional Hospital.• Executing a new Job Fair format thus providing the op-portunity for employers to in-terview and take applications from students and the public according to their career path-way. Several contacts made at Job Fair resulted in follow up interviews for Career and Technical students.• Hosting the Business and Industry Appreciation Lun-cheon on the Wesson Campus and recognizing organizations for their service and partner-ships.

Th e grant funds were also used to resurface the college track, which is very popular to both staff and community members and has become in disrepair due to lack of local funds. Special walking zones were created throughout the campus and labeled to be able to make regular walks around campus while keeping up with the number of miles walked. Th e grant funds were also used to promote healthy dining options in the college’s foodservice locations.

Buildings and Grounds Th e Home Depot Foundation, through its Celebration of Service Grants Program, has awarded $5,000 to the college to upgrade the Veterans Memorial Garden and Flag Plaza in front of the Evelyn Oswalt Library.
