<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 />
(continued from cover)<br />
of Science in electronic engineering<br />
technology from Colorado<br />
Technical <strong>College</strong>. He received<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 />
from Nova<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 />
<strong>State</strong> <strong>College</strong>, and wish him<br />
well and the very best.” Utterback<br />

years a pitcher has ever had for a<br />

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