HEARTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE | <strong>2009</strong>-<strong>2010</strong> ANNUAL REPORT
DR. JONATHAN ASTROTH<br />
HCC PRESIDENT 1991-<strong>2010</strong><br />
Founding <strong>Heartland</strong> President Retires with Honors<br />
Dr. Jonathan Astroth, <strong>Heartland</strong>’s founding President, retired in August <strong>2010</strong>. The Astroth <strong>Community</strong> Education<br />
Center was dedicated in Dr. Astroth’s name April 8, <strong>2010</strong>, as a tribute to his service after two decades at the <strong>College</strong>’s<br />
helm. In sharing Dr. Astroth’s many achievements with the audience, Gregg Chadwick, chair of <strong>Heartland</strong>’s Board of<br />
Trustees, stated, “The board wished to recognize his perpetual advocacy of <strong>Heartland</strong>, and thought there no better<br />
way to do so than to dedicate this wonderful facility in his honor.”<br />
Astroth lent his leadership and innovative vision to McLean County and surrounding county communities from 1991<br />
to <strong>2010</strong>, bringing <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> to the forefront of higher education. His extensive teaching and<br />
educational administration experience helped guide the <strong>College</strong> to swift accreditation and ensuing state and national<br />
program recognition. Local employers and businesses continue to draw from a growing workforce whose skills are<br />
rooted in <strong>Heartland</strong>’s halls and classrooms.<br />
“Jon Astroth Way” also was unveiled at a street-naming ceremony August 25, <strong>2010</strong> in President Astroth’s honor. Local<br />
leaders, area legislators, professional colleagues and students as well as members of Dr. Astroth’s family attended<br />
the event. The street, which leads to the Corn Crib—home of <strong>Heartland</strong> Hawks athletics programs as well as the<br />
Normal CornBelters—was a fitting tribute to the retiring president who, himself, played professional baseball for the<br />
Texas Rangers organization. Among fans, friends and community partners…his legacy as president effectively hit it out<br />
of the park!
After a national search, Dr. Allen Goben<br />
assumed the Presidency of <strong>Heartland</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Dr. Goben becomes<br />
only the second President of the <strong>College</strong>,<br />
bringing with him a wealth of higher education<br />
leadership experience across the country.<br />
“<strong>Heartland</strong> has felt like a wonderful fit from<br />
the very beginning, and I’m excited about the<br />
opportunity to be engaged in and involved with<br />
such a fantastic community and its <strong>College</strong>,”<br />
Dr. Goben said.<br />
Dr. Goben, 43, came to <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> after serving as president/CEO of<br />
Hazard <strong>Community</strong> and Technical <strong>College</strong><br />
(HCTC) in Kentucky, specializing in student<br />
success initiatives, strategic institutional<br />
prioritization, resource development and fiscal<br />
stewardship, and community outreach with a<br />

HEARTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE’S SECOND PRESIDENT<br />
distinctive focus on diversity and engagement.<br />
Under his leadership, HCTC was named one of<br />
the “Best Places to Work in Kentucky” in the<br />
large employer category and further honored<br />
as one of the Chronicle of Higher Education’s<br />
“Great <strong>College</strong>s to Work For <strong>2010</strong>.” In addition,<br />
Dr. Goben is a national expert on technological<br />
applications for higher education development,<br />
formerly serving as senior executive for Higher<br />
Education Development with SAS Institute,<br />
the world’s largest privately held software<br />
company.<br />
A native lowan and alumni of Indian Hills<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> and Iowa Central<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Dr. Goben earned a<br />
Bachelor of Science degree in History from Iowa<br />
State University (1993), a Master of Science<br />
in Education degree in school counseling<br />
from Drake University (1999), and a Doctor of<br />
Education degree in Educational Administration<br />
from the top nationally ranked <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Leadership Program (CCLP) at The<br />
University of Texas at Austin (2003). In <strong>2009</strong>,<br />
he earned distinguished graduate status from<br />
the nationally prominent CCLP program.<br />

Enthusiasm. Collaboration. Success.<br />
<strong>Community</strong> colleges are unique. They create accessible and affordable opportunities for achievement among students<br />
of all ages, backgrounds and interests. Supportive local partnerships allow community colleges to explore innovative<br />
concepts while guiding academic, personal and cultural initiatives. Most importantly, community colleges provide a path<br />
to success for people throughout the region. Our college is thrilled to support progress in individual lives as well as across<br />
our many thriving communities.<br />
It’s been an exhilarating year at <strong>Heartland</strong>. We’ve experienced the <strong>College</strong>’s first-ever presidential transition and<br />
celebrated the completion of our strategic <strong>College</strong> Development Plan. Enhancements to <strong>Heartland</strong>’s Normal campus<br />
include additional instructional facilities, a Student Center addition, an expanded <strong>Heartland</strong> Cafe and a new student<br />
bookstore. The Astroth <strong>Community</strong> Education Center and Fitness and Recreation Center are also complete, expanding<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong>’s ability to support access to higher education and excellence in teaching and learning with an enhanced focus<br />
on student and community success. The Challenger Learning Center is supporting K-12 schools and businesses from our<br />
Normal campus. The Corn Crib at <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> has given our student-athletes a home while bringing<br />
professional baseball to the heart of our district. Our Lincoln and Pontiac Centers continue to enthusiastically serve Logan<br />
and Livingston County residents. The <strong>College</strong> also embraced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase 96 acres of<br />
land adjacent to our existing Normal campus. This will help us plan thoughtful, incremental growth as we respond to the<br />
emerging needs of our growing and thriving community.<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> has been hard at work to ensure we offer the most up-to-date programs, services and<br />
resources in 21st Century education. As we approach HCC’s 20th anniversary, we appreciate the opportunity to share our<br />
<strong>2009</strong>-10 Annual Report, and to once again feature the people, events and success stories that define <strong>Heartland</strong>’s unique<br />
role in our community and in the world we share.<br />
It is an honor to join our community, where <strong>Heartland</strong> value and commitment to learning success support personal and<br />
regional progress. On behalf of the <strong>Heartland</strong> team, thank you for your interest and support. We hope you enjoy this<br />
overview of our recent work building bridges to community and personal success.<br />

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TO OUR SUPPORTERS<br />
‘
JOIN US IN CELEBRATING STUDENT SUCCESS!<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> is an engine for shared success, continuing to produce quality graduates and<br />
workforce-ready employees that will serve the Central Illinois community for years to come. More than 720 students<br />
successfully completed a degree or certificate program at <strong>Heartland</strong> during the <strong>2009</strong>-10 academic year. They join<br />
a group of 8,600 students who have earned a degree or certificate from the <strong>College</strong>. These are the same students<br />
who share their skills, unique talents and knowledge with our community as health care providers, safety officers,<br />
environmental strategists, educators, business leaders and community supporters, among others.<br />
Ninety percent of <strong>Heartland</strong> graduates live, work and raise their families in Illinois. This retention adds dexterity<br />
to our workforce, invigorating industry and encouraging economic growth. With an increased income, <strong>Heartland</strong><br />
graduates also stimulate local commerce, helping the cycle come full-circle while simultaneously renewing the<br />
Central Illinois workforce.<br />
Clearly, student success is shared success…and that idea is celebrated at <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> every day.<br />
CORPORATE EDUCATION SPURS AREA BUSINESSES TO PROSPERITY<br />
A thriving community college is an incentive to<br />
businesses interested in a location with affordable,<br />
quality educational options. These opportunities<br />
abound at HCC, serving employer needs for entry-level<br />
employees as well as ongoing workforce training.<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Corporate Education<br />
Department provides comprehensive support, offering<br />

well-being and occupational outlook. From July <strong>2009</strong><br />

Department assisted more than 50 organizations with<br />
customized training to meet their unique business<br />
needs. Our qualified instructors administered<br />
cost-effective employee training solutions and provided<br />
clients with the kind of proof-of-impact results that<br />

HEAD OF AREA LAW ENFORCEMENT AWARDED<br />
FOR ACADEMIC PERSISTANCE AND ACHIEVEMENT<br />
Normal Police Chief Kent Cutcher<br />
“There was no doubt in my mind I was<br />
going to finish, but [<strong>Heartland</strong>] made the<br />
transition from not being in school for<br />
so long very easy.”<br />
There are many individuals for whom academic<br />
progress is pursued in concert with career<br />
accomplishments. As life unfolds, people are<br />
faced with choices that sometimes postpone<br />
their goals. Normal Police Chief Kent Crutcher<br />
is one such example. At the <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Heartland</strong><br />
commencement ceremony, he was recognized as<br />
the <strong>2010</strong> Distinguished Alumni award recepient.<br />
For Kent, as for many others, <strong>Heartland</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> is always ready to assist<br />
when students are ready to continue their<br />
studies and reach academic goals.<br />
A Normal resident for most of his life, Crutcher<br />
attended Normal <strong>Community</strong> High School and<br />
then Morrison Institute of Technology. When<br />
Crutcher started college 25 years ago, his<br />
Marine Corps commitments postponed the<br />
completion of a degree. After four years in<br />
the Corps, he met and married his wife, also a<br />
Marine. Once they started a family, his education<br />
seemed to take a back seat to life’s ensuing<br />
responsibilities.<br />
Crutcher joined the Normal police force in 1985<br />
and gradually worked his way up through the<br />
department. Though his career was going well,<br />
he still aspired to earn a bachelor’s degree. He<br />
started with classes at <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>’s Towanda Plaza campus, taking one or<br />
two classes at a time on his way to transferring<br />
to Illinois State University.<br />
He admits going back to school still isn’t always<br />
easy, but <strong>Heartland</strong> gave him the enthusiasm he<br />
needed to keep going,“There was no doubt in my<br />
mind I was going to finish,” he said.<br />
Currently, he is continuing his education in a<br />
criminal justice graduate program. In his address<br />
to <strong>Heartland</strong>’s <strong>2010</strong> graduates, he advised<br />
“Don’t try to be the smartest person in the<br />
room. But if you think you are, try to find smarter<br />
people in the room...how else will you continue<br />
to learn?”
<strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> is an engine for shared success, continuing to<br />
produce quality graduates and workforce-ready employees that will serve the<br />
Central Illinois community for years to come.<br />
HCC NURSING GRADUATES THRIVE<br />
IN PASSING STATE LICENSURE EXAM<br />
HCC nursing graduates<br />
HCC nursing pinning ceremony<br />
The number of <strong>Heartland</strong> nursing program graduates passing<br />
the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) continued<br />
to exceed national and state standards. Ninety-three percent<br />
of <strong>Heartland</strong>’s <strong>2009</strong>-10 nursing graduates passed the Illinois<br />
NCLEX—a required exam offered to the state’s nursing program<br />
graduates that certifies and licenses nurses in Illinois.<br />
Since <strong>Heartland</strong> first offered its nursing curriculum in 1993,<br />
the program has graduated 378 students with nursing degrees<br />
from the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
As the nation’s health care industry<br />
grows, full-time registered nurses who<br />
have earned a <strong>Heartland</strong> nursing degree<br />
continue to secure steady regional<br />
employment—often with average <strong>annual</strong><br />
salaries exceeding $50,000.<br />

HEARTLAND REMEMBERS CONTRIBUTIONS OF SUPPORTERS<br />
The <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> family joins together in celebrating the<br />
lives and contributions of three people who have positively impacted<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> and its diverse community.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> mourned the passing of Dr. Art Adams,<br />
a longtime supporter of higher education and an<br />
unwavering advocate of <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Dr. Adams was a professor at Illinois State University<br />
and served 10 years as Assistant to the President as<br />
well as Director of <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Relations. He was<br />
considered by many to be a leading expert in the field.<br />
Dr. Adams served on <strong>Heartland</strong>’s Board of Trustees<br />
for three years beginning in 1990, bringing with him<br />
a comprehensive view of what community colleges<br />
could be and do, according to HCC’s founding<br />
President Dr. Jonathan Astroth. He was passionate<br />
about international programs and was honored with<br />
Founder Emeritus status by the Illinois Consortium for<br />
International Studies & Programs in October <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
For his commitment to <strong>Heartland</strong>, the <strong>College</strong>’s archives<br />
were dedicated April 20, 2004 as “The Dr. Vernon ‘Art’<br />
Adams Archives.” An HCC scholarship also is endowed<br />
in his name.<br />
Dr. Adams was a long-time resident of the Bloomington-<br />
Normal community.<br />
1927-<strong>2010</strong><br />
Dr. Art Adams 1952-<strong>2009</strong><br />
Jim Bohannon<br />
An employee from the first days of <strong>Heartland</strong>’s history in<br />
1991, James Bohannon served students as an academic<br />
advisor until his retirement in 2008. Known to everyone<br />
as Jim, he was an expert at coordinating with neighboring<br />
community colleges like Illinois Central <strong>College</strong> and<br />
Parkland <strong>College</strong> to ensure that students would qualify<br />
for financial aid wherever possible.<br />
A veteran himself, Bohannon served as the <strong>College</strong>’s<br />
Veteran Assistant, and exhibited a personal interest<br />
in encouraging and supporting non-traditional-aged<br />
students and Veteran students as they navigated<br />
the higher education experience. His colleagues at<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> identified him as “passionate about customer<br />
service.” As a former vocational counselor he related to<br />
the adult students who came to HCC to seek a new or<br />
better career. His practical approach to advising was<br />
appreciated by all students.<br />
Generous with his time, good humor and friendship,<br />
Jim Bohannon served the community and students<br />
well during his 17 years in <strong>Heartland</strong>’s student-focused<br />
Student Services Department.
1952-<strong>2009</strong><br />
Joe McCauley<br />
Joseph E. McCauley, Associate Professor of Art &<br />
Humanities, was a member of the <strong>College</strong>’s original faculty.<br />
Throughout his 18 years as an art educator at <strong>Heartland</strong>,<br />
he taught and influenced thousands of students with his<br />
unique perspectives on art and life in his art courses, which<br />
included Basic Drawing, Art Appreciation, History of Art II<br />
and History of Modern Art.<br />
Encouraging his students to draw outside the classroom,<br />
McCauley regularly monitored his students’ work by<br />
walking up and down the hallways, sharing his personal<br />
insights about drawing techniques and methodologies.<br />
For many students, McCauley’s classes were their first<br />
exposure to such exercises in artistic creation. For others,<br />
he was a personal inspiration.<br />
Besides teaching, McCauley also served in a leadership<br />
capacity for <strong>Heartland</strong>’s faculty association. Outside<br />
of his duties at the <strong>College</strong>, he was very involved in<br />
the community, offering assistance to families and<br />
individuals. McCauley was a member and supporter of<br />
the Bloomington-Normal Trades & Labor Assembly and<br />
was well respected for his volunteer work for Easter Seals<br />
and the United Way. He also supported the <strong>annual</strong> Postal<br />
Workers food drive, the Labor Day Memorial Parade, and<br />
several other local holiday charities.<br />
The HCC community gathers to pay their respects to Joe McCauley.<br />
McCauley held master’s and<br />
bachelor’s degrees in fine arts in<br />
painting from the University of<br />
Illinois-Champaign.<br />
In response to his death, family,<br />
friends and colleagues helped to<br />
establish the Joseph E. McCauley<br />
Memorial Scholarship. The<br />
scholarship will serve as a lasting<br />
reminder of McCauley’s love of art<br />
and dedication to students.<br />
Ed Carroll, Professor of History, honors his friend and colleague at a<br />
campus tribute.<br />
“For many students, McCauley’s<br />
classes were their first exposure<br />
to such exercises in artistic<br />
creation. For others, he was a<br />
personal inspiration.”<br />

leaders who steer the groups’ planning, activities<br />
and organization. In fact, <strong>Heartland</strong> students also are<br />
responsible for determining which clubs are formed.<br />
This year alone, student interest led to the formation of<br />
eight new clubs and organizations.<br />

HAWKS DELIVERING ACHIEVEMENTS<br />
ON AND OFF THE FIELD<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> athletic teams have excelled during the first<br />

performances. Highlights include:<br />
--The Hawks’ baseball team continued making its<br />
presence known on the national scene, finishing the<br />
<strong>2010</strong> season with a 45-11 record. The Hawks collected<br />

“We’re tremendously excited to have<br />
helped Hunter come to life.”<br />
Clemens Insurance representatives Rick Percy & Jeff Niepagen with Hunter.<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> unveiled the newest member of the <strong>Heartland</strong> family at the Normal CornBelters home<br />
opener in June. The game marked the first-ever live public appearance of <strong>Heartland</strong>’s hawk mascot. Hunter– who<br />
was underwritten through a gift from Bloomington-based insurance company Clemens & Associates, Inc.– introduced<br />
himself to children at the game and waved hellos to the stadium’s inaugural crowd. He appeared alongside “Corny,”<br />
the CornBelters’ official mascot, to cheer the CornBelters on during their first game at the Corn Crib at <strong>Heartland</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
“We’re tremendously excited to have helped Hunter come to life,” said Richard Percy, Sr., co-owner of Clemens<br />
& Associates, Inc. “We anticipate Hunter will become a wonderful symbol of <strong>Heartland</strong>’s continued success in the<br />
community and we’re extremely pleased to be a part of his development.”<br />

The new Readiness Center will bring<br />
about $2.8 million in federal funds<br />
to Illinois each year after it is built,<br />
including $2.7 million each year to the<br />
Bloomington-Normal area.<br />
GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES PLAN FOR<br />
READINESS CENTER AT HCC<br />
Plans to locate an Illinois National Guard Readiness<br />
Center on the <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
campus were unveiled last summer by the Illinois<br />
Department of Military Affairs and the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
“Under this agreement, the Illinois National Guard<br />
will be positioned to ensure public safety better<br />
than ever before,” said Governor Pat Quinn. “This<br />
facility will also bring federal funding into the<br />
Bloomington-Normal area, put people to work<br />
and provide young people with new learning<br />
opportunities.”<br />
The headquarters for the 404th Maneuver<br />
Enhancement Brigade (MEB) will be constructed<br />
on <strong>Heartland</strong>’s Normal campus. The $16.5 million<br />
project will be 75 percent funded by the U.S.<br />
Department of Defense with the State of Illinois<br />
contributing $4.4 million. Construction of the<br />
project is scheduled to start in January 2012, and<br />
estimated to be completed within two years.<br />
The 404th MEB includes several units with<br />
capabilities designed for domestic emergency<br />
missions including search and extraction,<br />
mass casualty chemical, nuclear and biological<br />
decontamination; military police, firefighting,<br />
engineers and communications. The facility will give<br />
the 404th MEB easy access to the highway system<br />
and airport in the center of the state, allowing it<br />
to respond quickly to high-risk areas in the north,<br />
south and west of the state.<br />
The project includes six classrooms for <strong>Heartland</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s use, totaling nearly 8,000<br />
square feet. The Guard will also add more than 200<br />
parking spaces for <strong>College</strong> use. <strong>Heartland</strong> will allow<br />
the Guard’s use of the auditorium, fitness center,<br />
kitchen/dining areas and classrooms during their<br />
training assemblies.<br />
The project comes at no cost to the <strong>College</strong>, the<br />
state’s higher education system or the surrounding<br />
community. <strong>Heartland</strong> is considering several<br />
courses and programs that could be offered at<br />
the facility including law enforcement training, a<br />
traffic safety school, truck driver training and firstresponder<br />
training.
“The goal is to retain as much rain water on site as possible, keeping it from<br />
running into the sewer system or nearby streams,” Fluegel said. “This helps<br />
keep our streams and rivers cleaner, and even helps reduce future flooding.”<br />
Members of the <strong>Heartland</strong> Gardens Stewards group<br />
volunteered to help plant the hundreds of native<br />
plants and grasses used in the rain garden project.<br />
PARTNERSHIPS AND VOLUNTEERS NURTURE “HEARTLAND GARDENS”<br />
In spring <strong>2010</strong>, Trees Forever and the Illinois Buffer Partnership selected <strong>Heartland</strong> Gardens as a program partner,<br />
awarding <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> a $3,000 grant to maintain the green site in the northwest corner of campus.<br />
The <strong>Heartland</strong> Gardens project is a two-acre demonstration site that showcases environmentally friendly and<br />
sustainable landscaping options. The rain garden installation will capture and filter rain water runoff from a nearby<br />
parking lot and other campus areas.<br />
Trees Forever—the granting body—is a non-profit organization founded in 1989 that connects people to the<br />
environment through the planting and care of trees, prairie, and other natural areas. Trees Forever field coordinator<br />
Debbie Fluegel emphasizes the importance and impact of the <strong>College</strong>’s rain garden installation project.<br />
“The goal is to retain as much rain water on site as possible, keeping it from running into the sewer system or nearby<br />
streams,” Fluegel said. “This helps keep our streams and rivers cleaner, and even helps reduce future flooding.”<br />
Members of the <strong>Heartland</strong> Gardens Stewards group volunteered to help plant the hundreds of native plants and<br />
grasses used in the rain garden project. This group of faculty and staff volunteers also plans to help maintain the<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> Gardens site. Trees Forever staff assisted with the project as part of a special program funded by the<br />
National Fish & Wildlife Foundation. The goals of that program are to demonstrate techniques to improve water quality<br />
in the Upper Mississippi River Basin and to enhance wildlife habitat in the area.<br />

HCC DEMONSTRATES<br />
FINANCIAL EXCELLENCE<br />
HCC continues to be recognized for its commitment to excellence<br />
in financial <strong>report</strong>ing. In <strong>2009</strong>, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded<br />
the status of the <strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s general obligation<br />
bonds to a level Aa3 from its prior A1 status, while Standard<br />
& Poor’s Ratings Services assigned an AA+ long-term rating to<br />
<strong>Heartland</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s recently issued bonds.<br />
Each of the designations places the <strong>College</strong>’s general obligation<br />
bonds in the “high quality with very low credit risk” category,<br />
reflecting the strength of the regional economy and the <strong>College</strong>’s<br />
stable financial position.<br />
For its <strong>2009</strong>-10 financial statements, the <strong>College</strong> received an<br />
unqualified audit opinion—the most positive opinion an audit<br />
firm is able to issue. <strong>Heartland</strong> has received unqualified audit<br />
opinions since its founding in 1991. The <strong>College</strong> also has earned the<br />
Government Finance Officers Association Award for Excellence in<br />
Financial Reporting for 11 consecutive years.<br />
