Education for the New Economy
Monroe County Community College
2007-2008 Annual Report to the Community

Monroe County Community College Mission
Monroe County Community College was established to provide a variety of higher education opportunities
for the residents of Monroe County. The college mission is to provide:
• Programs for students planning to transfer to four-year institutions;
• Programs for students seeking an associate’s degree or certificate in an occupational area;
• General education courses/experiences integrated throughout the curriculum;
• Training and retraining for business and industry;
• A strong complement of student support services;
• Other activities to meet the lifelong educational and employment needs of its students.

Preparing Our Students and Community
for the New Economy
As the economy evolves, Monroe County Community College is helping a growing number of students advance – and often reshape – their
dreams and goals during difficult and uncertain times. In addition, the college is working with local business and industry leaders to provide the
skilled employees needed to compete in the 21st century.
For example, during the 2007-2008 fiscal year, the college:
• Served a record number of students – more than 8,700 in combined credit and
non-credit enrollment.
• Responded to industry growth in the area of health care with the expansion
of existing credit programs offered by the Health Sciences Division and the
creation of a new ophthalmic assistant career program through the college’s
Corporate and Community Services Division.
• Directly addressed a looming shortage of nuclear energy professionals by joining
forces with Lakeland Community College in northeastern Ohio and DTE Energy
to bring a nuclear engineering technology program to the MCCC campus.
• Created a classroom with an “ideal learning environment” as a prototype for
additional classroom updates slated for 2008-2009.
• Focused on helping students pursue occupations that are traditionally
dominated by the opposite gender.
• Worked closely with legislators to bring a proposed state-of-the-art
Career Technology Center – to prepare MCCC students for high-tech,
high-paying jobs – closer to fruition.
• Helped the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Motherhouse meet
new state requirements for nurse aide training and avoid employment losses.
• Awarded $108,491.69 in private donor scholarships through The Foundation at
Monroe County Community College, a 37 percent increase over the previous year.
• Provided practical learning opportunities for students through field trips
and innovative learning experiences, many made possible with help from
The Foundation at MCCC Enhancement Grants Program.
MCCC is committed to enriching lives through flexible, practical and personal
higher education. With this commitment, MCCC is meeting – and will continue to
meet – the challenge to prepare our students and community for success in the
new economy.
Sincerely,
David E. Nixon, Ed.D.
President

Responding to a Changing Job Landscape

Nationwide, more and more students are turning to community colleges to ensure their future in the new economy. Business and industry
leaders are looking to these colleges to provide the workforces of the future. Monroe County Community College is meeting these needs in our area
by offering the responsiveness, accessibility and flexibility necessary to prepare students and the community for an ever-changing job landscape.
MCCC Serves Record Number of Students
In 2007, MCCC served more students than ever in the college’s history. The
credit enrollment headcount for Fall Semester was 4,433 students, up 1.5 percent
over the previous year’s record enrollment of 4,368. In addition, MCCC enrolled
4,369 students in non-credit courses through its Corporate and Community
Services Division, bringing the total number of students served by MCCC to
more than 8,700.
Responding to Health Care Industry Growth
Nursing
Enrollment in the licensed practical nursing certificate program was doubled
to 20 students in 2007-2008. The program began in January 2007 with an
initial class of 10 students.
MCCC’s Health Sciences Division announced that, beginning in January
2009, the number of qualified applicants accepted into the registered nursing
program each year will increase from 40 to 60.
The nurse aide practice course began in January 2006, and 27 students
completed the certificate that first year. Last year, that number grew to 51.
Phlebotomy
The phlebotomy certificate program began five years ago and typically enrolled
13-15 students per year. Last year, the program was expanded and enrollment
tripled to 43.
Non-credit Health Care Options
MCCC partnered with Reed Vision and Reed Medical Systems to create a
new non-credit certificate program in ophthalmic assisting, a field in which
hundreds of technicians are needed locally and as many as tens of thousands
are needed nationally.
More than 100 students participated in other non-credit health care programs
last year, including emergency medical technician, EKG technician, pharmacy
technician, medical billing and coding and medical assistant administration.
Meeting Nuclear Energy Industry Needs
According to the Nuclear Energy Institute, about 30 percent of the nuclear
energy workforce will retire in the next five years. To help meet this need in our
area, MCCC, Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio, and DTE Energy
joined forces to bring a nuclear engineering technology program to the
MCCC campus. The program allows students to earn an associate of applied
science degree in nuclear engineering technology from LCC by completing
the initial 48 credit hours of coursework at MCCC, and the remaining 24 credit
hours of LCC coursework on the MCCC campus via distance learning.

Creating the “Ideal” Learning Environment
MCCC created a prototype classroom with an “ideal learning environment”
that will be used as a model for further classroom renovations, which are in
progress. The classroom contains a number of carefully selected features,
such as new, learner-friendly room colors, flooring, ceiling tiles, lighting,
electronic equipment, tables and seating. In addition, a great deal of “behind
the walls” work was done to address items like acoustics, temperature
comfort, cable control, ambient noise, energy management, aesthetics,
teaching efficiency and overall comfort.
Another Partnership with DTE Energy
Work was initiated with DTE Energy on the development of a heavy
construction management certificate program designed specifically for
power plants. The program would leverage MCCC’s current construction
management program and enhance topics that are specific for DTE Energy
Power Plant supervisors and personnel.
Exploring Solar Energy
Students in Alex Babycz’s mechanical and electrical systems class built
a solar-powered energy system that was transported to Haiti to powerup
computers at a university, opening up a whole new world to a group
of students on the island. Babycz, assistant professor of construction
management technology, said that it was a unique way for his students to
help people and, at the same time, learn a new technology. The system was
paid for through donations by the River Raisin Institute. Best Electrical of
Monroe helped purchase the system.
Electronics Labs Transformed;
Lab Developed for LPN Program
The college’s two electronics labs were completely transformed with new flooring,
lighting, benches and stools, along with a variety of new equipment that will help
prepare students for today’s electronics jobs, as well as those in the future.
A complete nursing lab for the new licensed practical nursing program was
designed and developed.
Helping Students Pursue “Nontraditional”
Occupations for Their Gender
The college was issued a Perkins state-funded grant to help MCCC students
interested in pursuing degrees in select occupational programs traditionally
dominated by the opposite gender, such as welding or construction
management for women and nursing or respiratory therapy for men.
A special seminar, “Women in Technology,” was held in conjunction with
the Industrial Technology Division’s open house, Taste of Tech. The seminar,
sponsored by the Learning Assistance Lab, was designed to help women
who are interested in technology overcome possible obstacles to success in
technological career fields.
Preparing At-risk Students
for Higher Education
The first year of the federally funded Upward Bound Program at MCCC was
completed. The program helps to prepare academically at-risk Monroe High
School students who come from low-income families or families in which
neither parent holds a bachelor’s degree for higher education.

Shaping the Future of Higher Education
In June, MCCC announced that a doctoral program cohort would be coming
to campus through a partnership between the college and the University of
Toledo. The UT program prepares students to become leaders who will shape
the future of American public and private higher education.
Many MCCC employees are participating in the cohort, including: Margie
Bacarella, adjunct political science instructor; Parmeshwar (Peter) Coomar, dean
of the Industrial Technology Division; Randy Daniels, vice president of student and
information systems; Anthony Quinn, director of Upward Bound; Jeffrey Peters,
coordinator of e-learning and instructional support; Kathy Shepherd, associate
professor of mathematics; Kristy Taylor, adjunct instructor of business; Jim
Vallade, assistant professor of mathematics; and Patrick Wise, assistant
professor of psychology.
Helping Residents with
Changes in Employment Status
MCCC collaborated with Monroe Bank & Trust, Michigan Works!, the Small
Business Development Center and United Way of Monroe County to present
the seminar “Downsized? Early Retirement? Buyout? What’s Next?” to assist
residents with changes in their employment status.
Increasing Scholarship Opportunities
In 2007-2008, The Foundation at Monroe County Community College
awarded $108,491.69 in private donor scholarships, a 37 percent increase
over 2006-2007. The Foundation manages 29 endowed scholarships,
nine scholarship funds building toward endowed status and numerous
annual scholarships.
Proposed Career Technology Center:
Training for High-tech Jobs
MCCC worked closely with its legislators to bring a proposed new Career
Technology Center – a state-of-the-art facility designed to prepare students
for high-tech, high-paying jobs – closer to fruition. The facility would provide
much-needed infrastructure to upgrade existing occupational programs,
as well as allow for the development of additional programming currently
under consideration.
Examining Possibilities,
Pitfalls of Emerging Technology
In May, Jim Brazell, a researcher on emerging technology who builds programs
to bridge workforce, education and economic development, spoke at MCCC’s
Business and Industry Luncheon. Brazell discussed the acceleration of technology
that has spurred a unique time of remarkable possibility and potential difficulty.
He addressed ways to capitalize on change and avoid pitfalls by moving from
the “why” to the “how.”
Helping the IHM Retain Jobs
When the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Motherhouse
expressed an urgent need for certified nurse aide training for members of
their Health Care Center staff in order to meet new state requirements and
avoid employment losses, MCCC immediately met this challenge. The college
expanded its nurse aide practice course offerings to accommodate the IHM
and brought a team on-site to the Motherhouse to enroll 64 IHM Health Care
Center employees.

Practical, Personal Learning
At Monroe County Community College, the focus is on practical application, so students are prepared to meet the demands of the work environment
of the new economy. The college provides students with hands-on, personal experiences and the mentorship of dedicated faculty members.
New Mannequins for RT, CPR Classes
The respiratory therapy program acquired two Mega Code Kelly mannequins
and two Choking Charlie mannequins to be used in respiratory therapy and
CPR classes.
Culinary Students Turn Back Clock to
Prohibition Era
During Winter Semester, MCCC’s culinary skills and management students
transformed the Cuisine 1300 restaurant into the Wise Guy Club, where
customers enjoyed the ambience of a Prohibition-era speakeasy, complete with
memorabilia and decor from that time. The program was supervised by Chef Kevin
Thomas and supported through the fantastic efforts of many others at MCCC.
Working with Adolescent Readers
Students in a section of English 256 (Children’s Literature) participated in a
parallel reading project with adolescent readers, entitled “Read with Me.” The
students partnered with ninth-graders at St. Mary Catholic Central High School
to read and discuss a book together.
Student Develops Organic Pesticide Device
Cara Peterman, a pre-biology major, developed a device that uses carbon
dioxide as a natural, organic pesticide, which won first place in the Michigan
Liberal Arts Network for the Development of Student Scholars Competition.
The device’s popularity also landed Peterman and her instructor, Lori Bean,
associate professor of biology and chemistry, on WTOL-TV’s EcoTrak 11,
an environmental news series.
Learning from the “Founding Father”
of Respiratory Care
The respiratory therapy program graduating class of 2008 took a field trip to
The Toledo Hospital in April for a presentation by Dr. Forrest Bird, one of the
founding fathers in the field of respiratory care. Bird, who is responsible for
numerous inventions and the creator of several popular mechanical ventilators
and breathing devices in the 1950s and 1960s, spoke about the history of
mechanical ventilation.

Students Attend Special U.N. Briefing
in New York
A group of 14 MCCC students attended a special briefing at the headquarters
of the United Nations in New York City that detailed the worldwide problem of
human trafficking. The students were in the International Relations course at
MCCC and the International Studies student club. They were accompanied by
Dr. Joanna Sabo, professor of political science.
Construction Management Students Help
Build Access Ramp for Local Family
Through a program called Project Ramp, Alex Babycz, assistant professor
of construction management technology, and his construction management
students assisted other community volunteers in building a barrier-free access
ramp at the home of a Temperance family.
Funding Innovative Learning Programs
The Foundation at MCCC’s Enhancement Grants Program assists faculty, staff and students by providing funding for the development and
implementation of innovative projects that support the MCCC mission and enrich or improve the quality of education for students. In 2007, these
grant requests were funded:
• Culinary skills and management student trip to the Chicago International Food Show.
• International Relations class and club trip to the United Nations headquarters
in New York City.
• Math and Science Society field trip to visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, NY.
• Participation of four respiratory therapy student teams at the Michigan Society
for Respiratory Care’s Annual Sputum Bowl in Lansing.
• Theater trips for humanities students to Stratford, Ontario and Detroit.
• Attendance by nursing students at Michigan Nurses MARCH!, an event
that brings together hundreds of nurses and nursing students in Lansing
to address issues that radically affect nursing practice.
• MCCC’s hosting of Press Day 2008, the Michigan Community College Press
Association’s state conference.
• A performance of MCCC’s Agora Chorale with Amazin’ Blue, the University
of Michigan’s award-winning, co-ed a cappella group.
• Lunch and Learn program at the Whitman Center to enlighten students
on contemporary topics, diversity issues and career development.
• A visit by students in the Sociology 161 (Death, Loss and Grief) course
to the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills.
• Women in Robotics, a design project to fabricate a robot for competition with
an emphasis on participation by students who are women.

Milestones, Partnerships and Events

As a community-focused institution, MCCC strives to make life and work more meaningful and rewarding for everyone we serve. However, this
effort is never the product of a singular act; rather, it is the result of many people working together to support the events and partnerships that
extend our “campus” far beyond our walls.
Dennis Archer Speaks at MCCC
Former Detroit mayor Dennis Archer was the featured speaker at the Monroe
County Chamber of Commerce’s April Koffee Club held at Monroe County
Community College’s La-Z-Boy Center. Archer – one of the “100 Most
Influential Black Americans,” according to Ebony magazine and one of the
“100 Most Powerful Attorneys in the U.S.,” according to the National Law
Journal – spoke about the keys to success in a diverse world.
Promoting Literacy in Our Community
The Foundation at Monroe County Community College utilized a $16,000
grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to fund The Big Read Monroe,
an initiative designed to revitalize the role of literature in American society.
Beginning in mid-March, the college facilitated a six-week, community-wide
book “club” to incite critical thinking and discussions about the Harper Lee
classic, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Celebrating Community Colleges
April was National Community College Month, and MCCC and its sister
community colleges throughout the state celebrated the integral role two-year
colleges play in the preparation and development of the state’s workforce.
MCCC President Dr. David Nixon, Director of Marketing Joe Verkennes and
student Marge Wynn joined lawmakers and representatives and students
from community colleges statewide in a gathering at the Capitol in Lansing on
Community College Day in Michigan to honor the state’s 28 two-year institutions.
HLC Accreditation Process Continues
Work continued on MCCC’s Self-Study – a comprehensive self assessment
that provides the college an opportunity for critical self-analysis leading to
improvement in quality. To maintain its accredited status with the Higher
Learning Commission, the college is preparing the Self-Study document
and will open itself to an outside examination by experienced evaluators.
Accreditation by the Commission provides both public certification of
acceptable institutional quality and an opportunity and incentive for
self-improvement. So far, more than 130 faculty and staff members have
worked on the Self-Study in preparation for the HLC Evaluation Team visit
scheduled for Sept. 28-30, 2009.

Events Season Features National Acts,
Capacity Crowds
MCCC’s 2007-2008 season of entertainment and cultural programming at
the La-Z-Boy Center was an unprecedented success. Three shows at the
575-seat Meyer Theater – featuring national acts Jeff Daniels, Heywood Banks,
and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels – sold out. The Agora Chorale and
Symphony Band hosted a free Collage Concert that featured 17 different
groups from around Monroe who played to a full house and an overflow of
200 people in the Atrium. Other shows drew large crowds as well, including a
tribute to Shania Twain featuring Donna Huber, the Black History Month Blues
Concert and the three-day production of The Fantasticks by MCCC’s own
QuagMeyer Productions.
Live from Baghdad
MCCC student Paul Gensler knew first-hand the capabilities of the college’s
video over IP system from his experiences in the nuclear engineering
technology program, which requires coursework be taken at Lakeland
Community College in northeastern Ohio via videoconference. So when
Gensler found out that his brother, Scott, was being promoted to lieutenant
colonel in the Army while serving in Iraq, he acquired permission from the
college for his family to utilize the system to watch the ceremony live from
Baghdad. Before and after watching the ceremony, the family got the chance
to catch up with the newly decorated officer.
Ernie Harwell Addresses MCCC Employees
Detroit Tigers’ broadcasting legend Ernie Harwell addressed MCCC faculty and
staff on the topic of team building at the All-Campus Kickoff Breakfast, which
took place at the beginning of the 2007-2008 academic year.
Recognizing Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Several events were held at the Whitman Center in recognition of April as
national Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Among them were the Clothesline
Project and a Lunch and Learn program.
The Clothesline Project is a visual reminder of the local impact of domestic violence
and sexual assault. More than 100 shirts created by local survivors of violence
against women were on display. The Lunch and Learn – hosted by Bonnie
Ziesmer, patient advocate for Family Counseling and Shelter Services of Monroe,
and Rachel Steffin, domestic violence victim advocate and MCCC student –
focused on how to recognize and end abusive relationships. Information was also
provided on date rape drugs and services available for those needing assistance.
Popularity of Summer Camps Continues
Summer youth camp programs continued to gain popularity with parents and
grade school students in Monroe County. MCCC expanded its offerings once
again this past year to include the following camps: basketball, magic, science,
technology, scrapbooking, theater, volleyball, soccer and cooking.
Honoring Black History
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January, the college hosted a special
celebration in the Meyer Theater entitled “Giving the Dream a Voice.” In
recognition of Black History Month, the Whitman Center hosted a display in
February entitled “Frederick Douglass: From Slavery to Freedom.” The center
also held a Lunch and Learn program on the Underground Railroad led by
Toledo Metroparks Historian Janet Rozick. Throughout the month, MCCC,
the Monroe County Library System and a “Blues Coalition” of community
co-sponsors presented the 21st Annual Black History Month Blues Series.

MCCC Dedicates “The Little Pond”
The pond on the MCCC campus was officially dedicated as “The Little Pond”
in memory of the late Elsie M. Little, a community benefactor and local leader,
in honor of her legacy gift to create a performing arts center on campus.
Richardville Named 2008
College Supporter of the Year
The Monroe County Community College Board of Trustees recognized state
Sen. Randy Richardville (R-Monroe) with the 2008 College Supporter of
the Year award for his past support and continuing commitment to MCCC.
Richardville has been an advocate for MCCC in a broad spectrum of local
community venues and organizations, as well as in the state Capitol. The
award was presented at the MCCC Business and Industry Luncheon in May.
Paul W. Smith Hosts
WJR Morning Show from MCCC
For the second straight year, nationally known WJR-AM (760) radio anchor and
MCCC alum Paul W. Smith broadcasted a special edition of his morning show
live from the college’s La-Z-Boy Center. The special broadcast – which was
sponsored by MCCC, the Monroe County Historical Society, Mercy Memorial
Hospital System, La-Z-Boy Inc. and Eastern Michigan University – focused on
summer travel and tourism opportunities in Monroe County.
Annual Report Wins Gold ADDY Award
MCCC’s 2006-2007 annual report to the community, entitled “Learning
Relationships,” won a Gold ADDY ® Award at the 2008 Advertising Club of
Toledo ADDY Awards held last winter at Owens Community College. The
entry was submitted by Concentrek Group, the communications firm in Toledo
that designed the annual report on behalf of MCCC. All project management,
theme and copy development, editing, proofreading and photography for the
annual report were handled in-house by MCCC’s Marketing Department.
International Hosting Program Student
Stays to Complete Degree
Dmitriy Zelinski, a native of Kazakhstan, became the first student in the college’s
Youth for Understanding international student hosting program to stay at
MCCC to complete a degree. Previously, all students had returned to their
home country to finish their studies. Zelinski graduated in December with an
associate of applied science degree in business management. He first came to
the college in January 2006.
New Sculpture Adorns La-Z-Boy Entrance
Shirley A. Meyer donated a sculpture, “Circle Squared” by Nic Noblique-Poupore,
to adorn the front of the exterior entrance to the La-Z-Boy Center and Meyer
Theater. The sculpture was unveiled at the 2007 Antiques and Autos Show.
