<strong>Seminole</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>College</strong> Selected to Participate in Students in Service AmeriCorps Grant<br />

<strong>Seminole</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>College</strong> has<br />

again been chosen as one of two<br />

community colleges in Oklahoma<br />

to receive the Students in Service<br />

Grant through AmeriCorps. Along<br />

with Western Oklahoma <strong>State</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

in Altus, SSC will participate<br />

in a program to support part-time<br />

AmeriCorps community service<br />

positions.<br />

<strong>Seminole</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>College</strong> will select<br />

three students to be funded<br />

through the Students in Service<br />

(SIS) program. Vice President for<br />

Institutional Advancement Lana<br />

Reynolds said the program recruits<br />

students to volunteer in their communities<br />

– helping to increase the<br />

capacity of local nonprofit agencies<br />

and schools, and meeting critical<br />

community-defined needs.<br />

Reynolds said, “SIS members<br />

help to meet key educational, environmental,<br />

health, economic,<br />

veteran, and social service needs<br />

within their area and across the<br />

nation. These students gain valuable<br />

civic and workforce skills.<br />

By participating in the Students<br />

in Service program, the member<br />

becomes a part of the AmeriCorps<br />

national service network.”<br />

Applicants will be chosen<br />

through an extensive selection<br />

process to include interviews and<br />

background checks. As a part of<br />

the program, students successfully<br />

completing a 300-hour Term<br />

of Service within one year will be<br />

eligible to receive a $1,175 Education<br />

Award. To apply, students<br />

must be enrolled in at least six<br />

hours, be at least 17 years of age,<br />

and a United <strong>State</strong>s Citizen.<br />

This year’s program will engage<br />

150 students in Oklahoma<br />

in tutoring, mentoring, coaching,<br />

providing services to disadvantaged<br />

youth, and hosting service<br />

projects related to the environment<br />

and human services. Nine<br />

campuses have been awarded<br />

sub-grants from the Oklahoma<br />

Campus Compact, Washington<br />

Campus Compact, and the Corporation<br />

for National and Community<br />

Service during 2011-2012.<br />

They include: the University of<br />

Oklahoma, Oklahoma <strong>State</strong> University,<br />

the University of Oklahoma<br />

– Tulsa, University of Central<br />

Oklahoma, Southeastern Oklahoma<br />

<strong>State</strong> University, East Central<br />

University, Oklahoma Panhandle<br />

<strong>State</strong> University, <strong>Seminole</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong>, and Western Oklahoma<br />

<strong>State</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Participating students<br />

on these campuses will contribute<br />

more than 45,000 hours of<br />

service to nonprofit organizations<br />

across the state. Collectively, they<br />

will receive more than $176,250<br />

in education awards.<br />

Reynolds said, “We were pleased<br />

to be selected as one of the higher<br />

education institutions in Oklahoma<br />

to participate in the program.<br />

Helping students develop an interest<br />

in community volunteerism is<br />

an important part of their educational<br />

experience. It is exciting to<br />

participate in a national program<br />

which will encourage and reward<br />

students for their volunteer efforts.<br />

Additionally, their service through<br />

the grant program will provide<br />

much-needed help for organizations<br />

in our area.”<br />

Gasparro headed to Ohio <strong>College</strong><br />

his Master of Arts in computer resource<br />

management from Webster<br />

University and his Doctor of Education<br />

in higher education administration/curriculum<br />

University.<br />

“Dr. Gasparro came to SSC just<br />

prior to our accreditation visit<br />

from the Higher Learning Com-<br />

mission and led us successfully<br />

through that critically important<br />

process. He has also been instrumental<br />

in implementing the use of<br />

new academic software on campus<br />

and encouraging the use of<br />

technology among our faculty and<br />

students. While this is a great loss<br />

for us, I am proud of Dr. Gasparro,<br />

appreciative of his efforts at <strong>Seminole</strong><br />

well and the very best.” Utterback<br />

he assembled a perfect 14-0 record<br />

World Series berth.<br />

degree in psychology from<br />
