President Ken Ender talks with students from Paddock Elementary School.

Several times a year my office is

overrun by some of our most important

partners–students from area elementary and

middle schools. The past year, more than a

thousand youngsters have visited our campus

through school tours, special events and

participation in our summer InZone program.

For most of those students, visiting Harper is

their first college experience and you can feel

their sense of awe and wonderment when

they step onto our campus. It is our hope

that they will have another feeling after their

campus trip —a sense of belonging. For our

community to move forward and thrive, it is

essential for young people to feel that a post-

secondary credential is not just an option, but

an essential and mandatory gateway to good

jobs and good wages. For that to happen, the

conversation about college needs to happen

early and often, and we want to make sure we

do our part. That’s why we’re expanding our

outreach to elementary and middle schools,

especially those schools where the majority

of students qualify for the federal free and

reduced lunch program. We’re increasing

the number of school tours, assigning staff

as liaisons to area schools, encouraging

adopt-a-college programs and making sure

our summer InZone programs continue to

grow and thrive.

I get a kick out of elementary and middle

school students visiting me at Harper. Visiting

the President’s Office can be intimidating,

but it doesn’t take long before the sounds

of laughter, clapping and shouting can be

heard throughout the third floor of the Wojcik

Conference Center. In inspiring all of our kids

to go to college, that laughter is the sound

of success.

“The conversation about college needs to happen early and often, and we want to make sure we do our part.”

“Harper and the three school districts formed a consortium to coordinate their efforts and provide students new ways to overcome the math hurdle, and created a template for success that should be a starting point for other districts.”

-Daily Herald Editorial 2/15/2013

184% increase in

dual credit class enrollment

HIGH SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS = BIG GAINS IN MATHIn 2011, Harper began an innovative

partnership with district high schools with

a simple goal: ensure a college readiness

for all high school graduates. Research

shows fewer than 25 percent of students

who take a remedial course in college ever

finish their degree.

We started with math. Under a plan devel-

oped through the Northwest Educational

Council for Student Success (NECSS), high

school students in Harper’s district are tested

for college math readiness in their junior year

and are strongly encouraged to take math

in their senior year. Math faculty from Harper

and high schools now meet regularly to make

sure courses at our respective institutions are

aligned with each other. We’re sharing data

with high schools to better identify students

Enrollment in remedial math

classes decreased by 21% from 2010 to 2013

who may be falling behind, and we’ve

developed new summer bridge

programs to help at-risk students

before they enroll at Harper.

The results are encouraging. Enrollment

in remedial math classes at Harper

decreased by 21 percent from 2010

to 2013 and the number of students

taking dual credit classes skyrocketed

from 839 in 2010 to 2,382 in 2012, an

increase of 184 percent. This year, we’re

developing similar high school partnerships

in English to make sure students who come

to Harper are fully prepared for the rigor of

college classes.

After years of decline, manufacturing

is enjoying a resurgence. Since January

2010, the manufacturing industry has added

almost 600,000 jobs.* This means educated,

well-trained workers are in demand. Harper

College is helping to meet this need through

partnerships with local manufacturers.

PARTNERSHIPS TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR SKILLED WORKERS IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING

Through Harper’s new Advanced Manufacturing

program, Harper students can connect with

more than 100 manufacturers. Many of

these companies host Harper interns and

hire graduates.

Because of our success, the U.S. Department

of Labor awarded Harper $12.9 million to

expand our Advanced Manufacturing program

to more than 20 Illinois community colleges.

By partnering with area manufacturers and

peer institutions to develop curriculum, create

opportunities and identify resources, Harper

College is seeking to ensure that the future

of U.S. manufacturing is a bright one.

*Manufacturing Institute**Crain’s Chicago Business 2/25/13

Luke Rohrbacher, a student in

Harper’s Advanced Manufacturing

program, began as an intern with

one of Harper’s industry partners,

Chicago White Metal Casting (CWMC).

Luke was quickly hired and two years

later, he heads up CWMC’s traffic

department overseeing shipping

logistics and inventory control.

“ I never planned on going into a field like manufacturing because I was never exposed to it, but it’s a perfect fit for me.”

–Luke RohrbacherHarper College

reported moderate-to-serious

shortages in workers qualified for

skilled production positions such as

machinists and technicians.*

manufacturing salaries exceed the

U.S. average of $60,340 by 10%.**

Through unique partnerships and

outreach, Harper is making higher education

more accessible to residents who live on the

edges of our district. On the east side of our

service area, we have revamped programming

and added staff at the Harper College Learning

and Career Center to better serve residents

in Prospect Heights and Wheeling. The

changes come after a yearlong educational

needs analysis and discussions with nearly

70 community and business leaders. The

feedback led to expanded programs in fast-

growing job fields such as phlebotomy,

certified nursing assistant (CNA), information

technology and computer-based manufacturing.

PARTNERING TO BRING JOB TRAINING CLOSER TO HOME

In the Village of Hanover Park, at the

southern end of Harper’s district, we’ve

opened a new extension site through a

partnership with Elgin Community College,

the Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership

and the State of Illinois. The Education

and Work Center in Hanover Park will serve

the area’s fast-growing immigrant population

with classes such as English as a Second

Language (ESL) and Adult Basic Education

(reading, writing and math.) GED classes will

also be offered in both English and Spanish.

By sharing costs and resources, the Education

and Work Center in Hanover Park serves as

a template for how government entities can

work together to provide opportunities and

bring a college campus closer to home.

MAJOR FEDERAL GRANTS AWARDED TO HARPER COLLEGE 2012-2014

$12,939,459 U.S. Department of Labor grant

to develop Advanced Manufacturing program at

community colleges throughout Illinois.

$1,151,774 U.S. Department of Labor grant

to develop programs for Supply Chain Management

in partnership with 10 other colleges and

Northwestern University.

$2,000,000 U.S. Department of Education grant

to develop student tracking and progress software

including Student Portal, Student Analytics, MyPlan

and a mentorship software program. U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker speaking to Harper College graduates during the 2014 Spring Graduation Ceremony.

Harper’s efforts to develop

partnerships have attracted attention not

only in Illinois but throughout the country.

Lawmakers and policy leaders in Washington,

D.C., have pointed to Harper’s collaborative

model as a best practice for making higher

education more efficient and cost-effective.

Their praise has gone beyond words. Over

the past three years, Harper has been

awarded more than $16 million in federal

grants to expand programs beyond the

district’s boundaries and to pilot promising

new partnerships, practices and programs.

“My friendship with President Ender reminds me of one of the lessons that I have learned in business and in life: relationships matter.”

- Penny Pritzker U.S. Commerce Secretary

Because of Harper’s success in building

relationships, U.S. Commerce Secretary

Penny Pritzker appointed President Ender

to a prestigious White House panel working

to solve the shortage of skilled workers for the

manufacturing industry. She also accepted the

College’s invitation to be our spring graduation

speaker and receive an honorary degree. Her

advice to graduates was simple: “relationships

matter.” We couldn’t agree more.

FEDERAL PARTNERSHIPS LEAD TO GRANTS FOR INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS AND PRACTICES

Harper has been awarded more

than $16 million in federal grants to

expand programs beyond the district’s

boundaries and to pilot promising

new partnerships, practices

and programs.

Last spring, Harper College conferred

3,743 degrees and certificates, well ahead

of our 2014 target of 3,054. But there’s more

work to do. If we are to reach President

Obama’s goal to produce more college

THE PROMISE OF PARTNERSHIP President Barack Obama has challenged community colleges to produce five million more degrees and certificates by 2020.

We did the math. Harper’s proportional share is 10,604 additional degrees and certificates earned by 2020. Harper graduates about 2,500 students per year, which means Harper needs to average 1,000 more degrees and certificates earned annually over the next six years to meet President Obama’s goal.

students to finish what they start at Harper

workforce certificate or transferring successfully

to a four-year university. To track our progress,

From rendering to completion, the new parking facility.

Thanks to state funding and a capital

referendum passed by district voters in 2008,

the College has continued to make substantial

progress on the Campus Master Plan. The

plan, developed with community input in

2011, calls for creating an optimal 21st

century learning environment by renovating

older buildings, improving the campus

infrastructure, rebuilding roadways, improving

parking and making the campus more

environmentally friendly.

Phase 1 Building D Renovation and Addition

The first phase of the $46 million renovation

of Building D was completed in the fall. The

initial work on the east end of the building adds

two new lecture halls, new student study and

gathering areas and infrastructure improvements.

Over the next two years, work will continue on

Building D that will transform the 1960s era

building into a state-of-the-art learning center

with new classrooms, labs, and staff and

faculty offices.

Building H Career and Technical Education Center

Scheduled to open in 2015, Harper’s renovated

Career and Technical Education Center will create

modern learning labs for fast-growing career programs

including manufacturing, welding, fashion design,

interior decorating, heating, ventilation and air

conditioning (HVAC), maintenance technology, law

enforcement and fire science. The project is funded in

part by a $20 million grant from the State of Illinois.

COMING SOON: Canning Center One-Stop Student Services

The Canning Center One-Stop Student

Services, which is scheduled to open in 2017,

will consolidate the College’s admissions, registrar,

business and financial aid offices, as well as other

student services, making it easier and more

convenient for students to enroll at Harper. The

center’s cost is funded in part by a $40 million

capital grant from the State of Illinois. The building

will be named after Rita and John Canning in

recognition of their $1 million gift to the Women’s

Program, which provides educational support

and resources to single parents, displaced

homemakers and others – many of whom are

survivors of domestic violence.

Four-Level Parking Structure

The much anticipated Harper parking structure

opened in the fall of 2014. The structure adds

625 new parking spaces and connects to

the east side of the campus via a new indoor

pedestrian bridge.

Dear Friends,

We have just begun our roles as the Chief Advancement Officer and Foundation Board President

and have much excitement for the future of the Foundation and what we can accomplish for Harper

students and the Harper community. Through scholarship and program support, we can help Harper

students reach their goals and make their dreams a reality.

However, before we look forward, it is important to take time to review the wonderful achievements of

the past two years. Achievements that would be impossible without the support of partners like you.

In the past two years, over 600 students received Harper College Educational Foundation

scholarships. Your donations to the foundation funded new programs that focused on access to

higher education for minority students and career re-training for displaced workers.

We are grateful for the partnerships we have established with donors like Rita and John Canning. Their

$1,000,000 transformational gift this past March to the Rita and John Canning Women’s Program will

help hundreds of students with the financial scholarship support needed to pursue their academic

dreams. You can read more about Rita and John and their generous gift on the following pages.

On behalf of our students, faculty and staff, thank you for being our partner in student success. Together,

we continue to build a strong foundation for our students, our College and the community.

With warm regards,

Laura J. Brown Kathleen GilmerChief Advancement Officer President Harper College Harper College Educational Foundation Board

FPO

An emotional moment between donor Rita Canning and Patrice Whitten after the announcement of the Canning’s $1 million gift to the Women’s Program at Harper College. Whitten turned to the Women’s Program after a divorce. Whitten now works as a registered nurse in Pleasant Prairie, WI. (From Left to Right) Thomas G. Wischhusen, Immediate Past President, Harper College Educational Foundation; John

and Rita Canning; Dr. Kenneth Ender, Harper College President; Diane Hill, Chair, Harper College Board of Trustees.

Education and support are critical

for women who hope to rebuild their lives

after a divorce or an abusive relationship.

Unfortunately, many programs that serve

women in need have been eliminated

because of cuts in state and federal grants.

John and Rita Canning wanted to make

sure that didn’t happen to the Women’s

Program at Harper College, which served

nearly 450 women last year, half of whom were

victims of domestic violence. Thanks to their

generous gift of $1 million, the Harper College

Women’s Program will continue to empower

women to forge a new path for themselves

PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS

and their children through education and job

training opportunities, financial assistance and

other support services.

In recognition of the Cannings’ gift and

longtime support, Harper will name its future

student center after the Cannings. Scheduled

to open during the College’s 50th anniversary

in 2017, the planned state-of-the-art facility will

offer a meeting place in the middle of campus

and create a one-stop center for admission

and enrollment services.

“You’re just blown away when you hear the stories of these women and their struggles. And they’re going to succeed because of what happened at Harper. It’s nice to know you really can change things.”

—Rita Canning

“I needed to reinvent myself, and I didn’t go into any debt because of the assistance I received. Sometimes I just went in to talk. It was very challenging to work, go to school full time as a nursing student and be a single mom to three kids, but they kept me going.”

—Patrice Whitten Harper College
