”The recent opening of the Regnier Center (pictured, right) has had a significant impact on local workforce training and economic development in the greater metropolitan Kansas City area. The inclusion of state of the art wet labs will significantly enhance the ability of the community college to stay up with the demand for lab technicians for the burgeoning bioscience industry. The Regnier Center also provides significant new computer labs. Training and updating on new software will be a continuous need in the future. A significant amount of the college’s effort surrounds retooling individuals from nontechnical positions to technology oriented jobs. As the country evolves toward a knowledge based economy, having these strong technical skills is critical to our success.” – Bob Regnier, president and CEO, Bank of Blue Valley; chair of the college’s Campaign for the Community; donor Facilities Twenty major buildings on the JCCC campus house classrooms, labs, studios, a library, student services, dining services, faculty and staff offices, warehouse space and a printing plant. The newest are the Regnier Center and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. The Regnier Center houses classrooms and labs for credit courses in computing systems and information technology, interactive media, game development and animation; a biotechnology laboratory suite and classrooms; the Center for Business and Technology’s offices, classrooms and computer labs; the Capitol Federal Conference Center; the Small Business Development Center; a center to support local entrepreneurs; and offices for the college’s Information Services staff, who provide computer network, academic and administrative support to students and faculty. The museum houses galleries for permanent and temporary exhibitions, Café Tempo, the M.R. and Evelyn Hudson Auditorium, the Tearney Art Education Center and a museum shop. In addition, classes are offered in more than 40 sites around the county, including high schools, the University of Kansas Edwards Campus two miles to the south, business sites, and local community centers. The primary offcampus sites are in Olathe, a suburb to the south where classrooms and the offices for the college’s adult basic education program are housed; West Park Center in the heart of the county where the programs for cosmetology and massage therapy are housed; and Bishop Miege North in the northern part of the county, where a variety of general education and computer classes are offered. Beginning in spring 2008, the college also offers vocational courses in Douglas County to the west. 62
Fund raising At the conclusion of its fouryearlong capital campaign in September 2007, the JCCC Foundation surpassed its goal of $15 million by raising $20.2 million to support construction, scholarships, programs and events, faculty and curriculum at the college. This was the first time in the college’s history that JCCC asked for private dollars to help fund construction at the college, specifically the Regnier Center and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. The campaign also helped students pay for classes and buy books, and supported programs and events on campus and college faculty and curriculum. “The campaign succeeded because of the collective effort of nearly every department on campus, as countless members of the college family ‘stepped up’ when needed to help with prospective donors. They say it takes a village to raise a child; well, at JCCC, it took a campus to successfully execute a capital campaign. Ultimately, the campaign created so much philanthropic energy that it positively influenced all areas of fund raising. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, every fiscal measurement achieved an alltime high as annual revenues total more than $6.6 million, the endowment reached $14.6 million and total assets hit $24.5 million.” – Dr. Joseph Sopcich, vice president, Institutional Advancement and Government Affairs Enrollment Final enrollment figures for spring 2007 were 17,873, a decrease of 0.9 percent from the spring 2006 total of 18,030. Final enrollment figures for summer 2007 were 8,569, down 3.9 percent from the 8,919 enrolled in summer 2006. For the fall 2007 semester, preliminary figures show that 19,937 students were enrolled at JCCC, an increase of 0.9 percent over the final total of 19,759 enrolled in fall 2006. JCCC served more than 80,000 county residents in 2006 2007 through the areas that compose Continuing Education and Community Services — the Center for Business and Technology, Community Services and the Carlsen Center. 63
