It’s hard to believe that 2013 is right around the corner. With the coming year will come many changes for Lake Land College as this summer I will retire after 21 years of service. Over these years, the college has grown and changed, enhancing the services we offer for our students and the surrounding communities. From alternative energy initiatives, to state-of-the-art educational facilities and being named the safest campus in Illinois, Lake Land College has done some tremendous things and will continue to do so even after my retirement. The faculty and staff are some of the most dedicated professionals with whom I have had the opportunity to work.

Their dedication and commitment is seen throughout the pages of the Full Circle, which highlights some of the students and programs at the college in addition to providing resources for new and returning students.

As the college continues to grow, so do the opportunities for students. For example, on page 2, meet a few of the Lakers who worked as G.I.S. interns and gained practical hands-on experience in their field while earning college credit! Or, meet the veteran on page 9 who found the support he needed to enroll in college after returning from two tours of duty in Iraq. On page 12, you can read about our Civil Engineering Technology Program, a profession that has a job growth outlook that is higher than the national average where employees earn, on average, $46,200 annually.

These are just some of the faces of Lake Land College. I encourage you to browse the Full Circle to see how Lake Land College can help you reach your goals, whether that’s pursuing a degree, taking a class or participating in a community activity because at Lake Land College, there is a little something for everyone.

Scott Lensink, President

One major goal of community colleges is to provide pertinent classroom information in addition to practical real-world experience so that students can enter the workforce upon graduation or transfer to a four-year school. This holds true at Lake Land College, where students studying Geographic Information Systems or GIS have the opportunity to participate in internships where they use the information they’ve gained in the classroom to put their knowledge to work in the field.

In 2008, the GIS program at LLC became a sub-recipient of a National Science Foundation GeoTech Grant and began work on a National Geospatial Technology Center Project.

The grant, which funds these internship opportunities, aims to collect information on how rural employers are using geospatial technologies to better serve customers, clients and citizens. The project is being completed in partnership with Texas Engineering Experiment Station in College Station, Texas and Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Several Lake Land College students have been placed in various paid internships throughout east central Illinois and the projects they conduct not only give them hands-on experience, but they are used for economic development, regional planning and municipal management.

Covering more than 400 square miles in one month, Shaun Vester sought out to map every single Amish owned business in rural Douglas and Moultrie counties. From retail, wholesale and hand crafted goods, Vester visited and collected the longitude and latitude coordinates of each business, transferred the data to a mapping software and created an interactive map.

“For this project, I’m focusing on those businesses outside of the city limits to boost tourism and economic development in the region,” said Vester. “I’ve met a lot

of talented Amish craftsmen who are struggling to keep their businesses and livelihood up, so hopefully this map will help them by giving tourists better information on where to travel.”

According to Richard Otto, owner of the Country Shoe Shop in Arthur, he has a lot of first-time customers who end up four or five miles away because the maps they use to find his store are inaccurate.

“It’s not great when a potential customer calls, sitting in the middle of the cornfields and can’t find where we are,” said Otto.

Josh Perkins, Effingham

• Program of study: Associate in Science – Earth Science

• Internship employer: Eastern Illinois University – Business Solutions Center

• Project Purpose: Map locations of

more than 8,000 businesses within an eight-county region; create a variety of maps such as sales volume, median family income and city boundaries so that businesses can gather economic information on the area

• Software used: ESRI.com, a database of basemaps, images, demographic and consumer data; ArcGIS, a system that enables mapmakers to design and analyze maps; VMWare, a virtual desktop infrastructure at Lake Land College that allows Perkins to log on to his personal student account from any computer to access resources and materials he uses as a student

• Plans after graduation: Transfer to Southern Illinois University – Carbondale to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Geography and Environmental Resources

Growing up in an agricultural family, Josh Perkins of Effingham understood the importance of good weather as it related to crop production and yield. Because of this, Perkins became more interested in weather and climate, especially understanding its practical applications like the effects of flooding or drought. With his site set on a degree in meteorology, Perkins enrolled in the Introduction of Geographic Information Systems with Mike Rudibaugh, geography and earth science instructor, where his eyes were opened to the endless possibilities of GIS.

“With just one class, my entire career path changed, and for the better,” said Perkins. “While meteorology was my first passion and is still a huge interest of mine, combining weather and climate with GIS and mapping skills will greatly enhance my marketability and job prospects.”

According to Perkins, the Lake Land GIS program along with the internship opportunity has given him an advantage among other juniors in his program of study at SUIC.

“In just one year’s time, I’ve determined my career path, gained pertinent and paid job experience, and expert references in the field,” he said. “This has absolutely enhanced my resume.”

Vester said his project will alleviate issues like this because while the geocoding technology used in Google and Bing maps does not handle rural route areas well, he uses the exact longitude and latitude coordinates which will put travelers within a few meters of the business.

Melinda Swinford, Ashmore • Program of study: Associate in Science – Earth Science

• Internship employer: Coles County Regional Planning and Development

• Project Purpose: Create a variety of maps for municipal governments throughout east central Illinois including utilities, 911 addressing and infrastructure

• Software used: Leica Geosystem GPS unit which collects geographic location within an inch of accuracy; ArcGIS, a system that enables mapmakers to design and analyze maps

• Plans after graduation: Transfer to Eastern Illinois University to earn a bachelor’s degree in geography with a concentration in spatial analysis.

For Melinda Swinford of Ashmore, the 100 degree heat of a July afternoon doesn’t scare her off. According to her, conducting fieldwork and being outside is one of the perks of working in the GIS field.

“Working in GIS is great for me because I get to be outside on certain days, but then other days I get to tap into my creativity when making the maps,” she said.

According to Swinford, her internship has allowed her to enhance her cartography skills as she gets to practice creating different legends, scale bars and map balance, which is essential for producing easy-to-read, user-friendly maps.

“This internship is perhaps the most valuable experience of my college education thus far,” she said. “I have gained a great sense of knowledge in what GIS technology is capable of, including some spatial technique. Whether I’m out in the field surveying or using ArcGIS mapping software, it amazes me because whenever there is an issue, interest, quantity or value that needs to be shown in detail, creating a map is an excellent way to do just that.”

Swinford first became interested in geospatial technology when she took World Geography and Advanced GIS with Brooke Ferguson, adjunct geography instructor.

“Before Brooke’s classes, I didn’t know too much about GIS, but those classes really piqued my interest!”

1. GPS unit sends out signal and measures high frequency, low powered radio signals from satellites in space

2. Based on the time it takes for the signal to return to the GPS unit, the receiver determines it is a certain number of miles from asatellite.

3. Based on the signal from the second satellite, the GPS unit will generate two spheres and the location is located where the surfaces of the two spheres intersect. The two spheres overlap in a ring of possible GPS unit locations.

4. By generating a sphere for a third satellite, the receiver narrows its possible position down to two points – one in space and one on earth. The three spheres come together at one point on earth, giving the GPS coordinates.

For all GIS internships at Lake Land College, students earn while they learn. After completing these paid internships, students receive 3 hours of college credit.

GPS units collect longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates by contactinga constellation system of 24 earth-orbiting satellites. Orbits of thesatellites were created so that four satellites are always visible becausefour satellites are necessary for a GPS receiver to determine its location.

Few instructors receive a round of applause from their students after demonstrating the day’s lesson. But for J.B. Faires, Lake Land College adjunct music instructor, that is not the case.

His captive audience, students enrolled in “Understanding Music” sat listening with deliberate focus on the sounds their instructor created. As Faires passed the bow across the string of his upright bass, a deep, almost guttural sound resonated throughout the classroom. Then, came the applause.

Faires was demonstrating idiomatic composition, the practice of writing music specifically for a particular instrument to showcase its strengths and idiomatic special effects. According to Katie Mette of Teutopolis, activities like these help her to better understand the material of the course.

“I’m studying business administration and I chose this class for a humanities credit,” said Mette. “When he demonstrates what we’re discussing on the instruments live, in front of us, it helps someone like me, who isn’t a musician, understand the lessons better and I really like that aspect of the class.”

Taught at the Kluthe Center for Higher Education and Technology in Effingham, “Understanding Music” is a survey of 1500 years of music wrapped up into one semester, where students not only learn about different musical eras and styles, but they get a review of art, culture, history and even linguistics.

“We begin each semester with a lesson on the emotional impact of sound,” said Faires. “We talk about what non-verbal communication, like a whistle or a tongue click, means or what we associate with each. Then we work our way from the earliest human music to the medieval period all the way up to the 1980s.”

For Faires, his favorite part about teaching this class is the connections students make and relate to modern music.

“I delight in teaching those topics that open the students’ eyes to something they never before realized,” said Faires. “For instance, they come to know that music of the Baroque Era has influenced rock and roll or that pop music, with the repetitive chorus and structure, actually originated in the 1400s. Students are really surprised when I tell them there is no doubt that Eddie Van Halen spent a lot of time studying Bach.”

Faires said that all students, musicians or not, can benefit from studying music because by looking at examples from different historical time periods, it paints a picture of the culture that produces the music and helps us understand our own history better.

“Engaging in this kind of study answers the ‘why’ – why does music exist and why does it sound like that,” said Faires. “Being able to judge a piece of music beyond liking it or disliking it helps us to understand the time period and the purpose of a musical piece.”

Faires also teaches “Music in American History and Culture” which focuses on early American folk music to the development of music for entertainment.

Get to know your instructor Hometown: Charleston, Illinois

Educational background: Doctor of Musical Arts, University of Illinois; Master of Arts in Music Performance and Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance with a concentration in Jazz Studies, Eastern Illinois University

What instruments do you play? I play the trumpet, piano, electric bass, upright bass, guitar, cello, trombone and slide guitar. However, I mainly perform with the electric or upright bass.

What bands do you play in? I’ve pretty much always performed in an extracurricular band. Currently, I play with Resonation Station, Huckleberry Fate, the Cornstalkers Cajun Band and the Young and the Fretless.

From where do you draw your musical inspiration? Every generation seems to have its own music – something that takes you back to junior high when you start exploring music on your own or with friends. For me, believe it or not, that music was heavy metal. It’s not that I necessarily want to play that type of music, but it’s the energy and freshness that inspires me. There’s something to be appreciated about musicians playing their instrument as fast as they can while jumping around with the amp turned as loud as it can go.

What music do you listen to? I listen to anything and everything. One thing about music is that there is never-ending growth and exploration - there are constantly new and emerging artists to get to know, new genres to explore and world music that is untapped in western culture. As far as radio goes, I listen to public radio and college radio because there is always something new.

Combat veteran finds strength, support & academic opportunity at Lake Land College

On Tim Davenport’s first day at Lake Land College, he arrived to his classroom 20 minutes early. He wanted to secure a seat that would ensure his comfort in the new environment because for

him, the anxiety and apprehension sometimes associated with the first day of class was magnified.

“It took me three years to muster the courage to go to school after I came home,” said Davenport. “Before that, I just simply wasn’t in the right mindset.”

Davenport, of Sullivan, is a Marine Corp combat veteran who did two tours of service in Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2004 to 2006 as a military police canine handler. During his time there, Davenport found himself in some of the most violent, war-torn parts of the Anbar Province, near Ramadi and a location known as the Sunni Death Triangle.

the road, but also one that would offer him a wide array of classes, introducing him to a variety of subject matter. He enrolled in the business administration program, which concentrates on accounting, finance, management, marketing and computer information systems.

It wasn’t too long after his first few classes at Lake Land that instructors noticed Davenport was an excellent student who stood out in the classroom.

“Tim works very hard to make sure he learns all details covered in a course and this is reflected in his homework, course projects and 3.9 grade point average,” said Kathy

Black, business division chair and instructor. “He is very motivated to succeed and puts 110 percent behind his course projects. Tim is also a mature student who accepts responsibility for his own learning—every teacher’s dream.”

During his time at Lake Land, Davenport also worked as a tutor in the Tutoring Center and helped students with their school work including college algebra, financial accounting, business statistics and finite math.

“I really enjoyed tutoring because it allowed me to help and teach others,” said Davenport. “Tutoring kind of gave me something of my own, my own way to help other people.”

For his exceptional contributions to the business division at Lake Land College, Davenport was awarded with the Outstanding Student Award for the business division.

“At the end of the day, I’m still fighting a lot of demons and when I look back, I really don’t know how I made it this far,” said Davenport. “But one thing I do know is that for me, my education has been key to making sense of the world. I’ve gained perspective and take things in differently than before, and that’s the most important thing I’ve gained from going to college.”

As a specialized soldier, Davenport was stationed with various branches of the armed forces during his stints in Iraq and was responsible for tracking down improvised explosive devices or IEDs both throughout the desert and in cities.

“I come from a family of Marine Corp veterans,” said Davenport. “My mother and father both served, so going to the service right out of high school was something I really wanted and I got what I wanted from my military service – a combat action ribbon and earning my rank as sergeant – even though I’ve made sacrifices along the way.”

Davenport was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and said that he had a very difficult time adjusting back to civilian life. Unable to leave home, losing his appetite and feeling high levels of anxiety, Davenport’s father encouraged him to seek help at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Danville. After meeting with psychologists and psychiatrists for nearly three years, Davenport realized he was ready to take the next steps in his life.

“I was working as a security guard and that job was just a means to an end – something to pay the bills,” he explained. “So I decided I needed to go back to school in order to get the education I needed to start a career, not just work a job.”

Davenport said that because he was still mending from his experiences in Iraq during that time, he wanted to ease into school and chose to enroll at Lake Land because he wasn’t sure if he was ready for a four-year commitment at a university.

“I had a friend, who after coming back from the service, went straight into a four-year situation, and he really struggled with it,” said Davenport. “Because I was working on getting better, I needed a more manageable, personal educational environment and that is why I chose Lake Land.”

Davenport said for him, the smaller classes and personal relationships he formed with instructors at Lake Land offered the adjustment period he needed to succeed academically and socially.

“Honestly, I had no idea what I wanted to study or where I saw myself because for the first time in a long time, I actually had choices to make about my future,” he said.

Davenport decided to pursue a degree that could transfer to a four-year university if that was something he wanted to do down

“I used my Chapter 30 G.I. Bill and the Illinois Veterans Grant to cover my education at Lake Land and I can’t say enough about how helpful the financial aid services for veterans are at the college. Any problem I had, they solved it, and they tailor what’s best for each person depending on the situation.” –Sgt. Tim Davenport

Attention Students: Know Your Rights About Your Educational RecordsLake Land College maintains only those “Educational Records”, within the definition of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which are essential to the processes required to develop and maintain an accurate academic record for each student and to support the accounting needs and requirements for each student as they are imposed by law, state and federal regulations, and College operations.

The law permits the College to make public certain “directory information” about students. It is the intention of the College to do so within the scope of regular College policies and as may be appropriate to the normal course of College business and operations. The following information is regarded to be “directory” information and some or all of it may be made public: student name, address and telephone number, email address, enrollment status, student classification, major field, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, age and/or date of birth, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, most recent previous school attended and photographs. Any student objecting to his or her directory information being made public must file notice in writing of such objections with the Admissions and Records Office by the first meeting of classes for the semester.

FERPA affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. These rights are described in the online Lake Land College Student Handbook. For more information, please visit www.lakeland.cc.il.us/studenthandbook.

From building bridges to testing and repairing roadways, one thing’s for sure – with the erratic Illinois weather,

there is a high demand for civil engineering technicians throughout the region. According to Galen Altman, civil engineering technology instructor and coordinator at Lake Land College, the state of Illinois has the challenge of keeping its roadways in good, safe condition because of the climate differences throughout the state and the annual thaw and freeze cycle. “Illinois and other states in the region are places where civil engineer technicians can always find steady employment,” said Altman. “The changing of the seasons cause the road materials to expand and contract which almost always requires maintenance and repair.”The Civil Engineering Technology Program at Lake Land College is a comprehensive associate degree program that prepares students with the skills necessary for employment as a civil engineering

technician with consulting engineering firms, testing laboratories, utilities, and local, state and federal government agencies. During the program, students receive classroom instruction and hands-on experience testing roadway materials, surveying, drafting and inspecting construction sites.A unique aspect of this program is that students have the option to participate in a 15-month cooperative work study program, where they are placed with local companies to gain real-world, hands-on experience. With the cooperative study option, students earn college credit and typically earn a salary, while at the same time enhance their

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary of a civil engineering technician is $46,290!

Civil Engineering was Green before being Green was in!The civil engineering industry regularly repurposes materials to reduce consumption and waste product. That’s right! Often times, our roads, bridges and even sidewalks are made out of repurposed concrete, tires and even roofing shingles. “It’s common practice for old concrete to be crushed and used as base aggregate for new construction or for old asphalt pavement to be milled and recycled to use again,” said Galen Altman, civil engineering technology instructor and coordinator. According to Altman, the industry also uses ground-up tires in asphalt mix and is currently experimenting with roofing shingles, too. Slag, a byproduct of steel production is used in concrete for high rises and at intersections because it can be very lightweight. Slag is used as a skid resistant surface for asphalt. Another green aspect of the civil engineering technology industry is that it also uses a special sealant on concrete to help the material not absorb water, thereby reducing the consumption of fresh water.

LLC’s Civil Engineering Technology Programresume and professional networks. For Bryan Harrington of Louisville, his cooperative work study experience is with Howell Paving, Inc., a highway contracting company that specializes in asphalt and concrete paving, bridge rehabilitation, and site preparation throughout central and southern Illinois. “So far, I’ve done interstate patch work on I-57, density testing on Route 33 near Effingham, and oil readings which involves extractions and burns,” said Harrington. “No one day is ever the same as the next, which is something I like about this kind of work.”With the cooperative work study option, students take their first year of classes on campus then do 15 months with their company and return to Lake Land for their final two semesters of class.Harrington said that everything he learned in his first year of classes translated directly to what he does for Howell Paving, Inc. “The activities we did in class are exactly what I do in the field, so when I came to work for Howell, I felt ready to jump right in,” said Harrington. “Something else I came to realize while in the field is that attending Lake Land College is a

Bryan Harrington, Louisville, is completing his 15-month cooperative work study program with Howell Paving, Inc., where he participates in a variety of civil engineering technology projects like patching roads, testing pavement density and taking oil readings.

Intersecting Curriculums and Campus ContributionsStudents enrolled in the Civil Engineering Technology program at Lake Land have the opportunity to contribute to the campus infrastructure while at the same time learn about another growing technology related to their field – Geographic Information Systems, or GIS. In Galen Altman’s Data Collection and GIS Mapping class, students worked with Lake Land College’s Physical Plant to map out utility coordinates across campus. “I’ve been working with Galen and his students to have them collect points of the college infrastructure which is a really good fit because I’m getting the data I need to make an accurate utility map for the college and the students fulfill their fieldwork requirements for the course,” said Brooke Ferguson, adjunct instructor and mapping technician. Ferguson said that the points which the students have collected will be used for reference in a campus-wide utility map and include light poles, water meters and manhole covers.

The Advanced Technical Studies Option allows a graduate to continue his or her education at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale or Eastern Illinois University. Graduates from this program of study are able to complete a bachelor’s degree in Technical Resource Management at SIUC and a bachelor’s degree in Applied Engineering Technology with a concentration in construction at EIU.

standard for this industry around here. All of my co-workers and bosses are graduates of the Lake Land program.” Likewise for Doug Beuning, a 1996 graduate of the program and now adjunct instructor at the college, he said Lake Land gave him all the tools he needed to enter the civil engineering technology profession

after losing his job at a local factory due to downsizing. “The instructors were great and always went the extra mile to make sure every student in the class finished the program in order to be an expert in the field,” said Beuning. “I didn’t finish high school and earned a GED through the military, so when I came back to school I was nervous, especially with math, a subject that I was terrible at in high school. But when I came to Lake Land, math was actually a subject in which I excelled.”Beuning of Beecher City, has been the Quality Control Manager for Mid-Illinois Concrete since 1998 and said that while he is grounded in central Illinois, this line of work has the capability of taking highly skilled civil engineering technicians all over the world.“Concrete is the number one utilized material in the world,” said Beuning. “I can go anywhere in the world and use the skills I gained at Lake Land to find steady work.”For more information on the Civil Engineering Technology programs at Lake Land College, contact Altman at 217-234-5342 or galtman@lakeland.cc.il.us.

How to Figure Your Tuition• One Credit Hour = $103.80• One class is generally 3 credit hours –

3 x $103.80 = $311.40• A full load of classes per semester, approximately five three-hour classes, or 15 hours total

15 x $103.80 = $1,557• Multiply this by two semesters, which makes up an entire academic year, totaling $3,114.

2 x $1,557 = $3,114Does this number seem unreachable? Think again! With a total tuition cost of $3,024 the average student, working a part-time job that pays $8.50 an hour can pay for college by working only 4 hours a day for 92 days. Or think of it as working half a day for three months. What do you plan to do with your summer break?*Please note this figure includes textbook rental and some individual courses and online courses may have additional fees.*
