Mission: Planning Success



Police, fire and emergency medical personnel

have a new resource at their disposal with the

opening of the Owens Community College Center

for Emergency Preparedness. Located on 110

sprawling acres, this regional facility provides an

area for first responders to practice rescue and

recovery maneuvers on full-size training props

in a controlled environment.

“The mission of the Center for Emergency

Preparedness is to provide first responders and

students with training opportunities that support

classroom learning through the use of state-of-

the-art educational resources,” said Wayne Seely,

Assistant Professor of Law Enforcement.

Nearly 1,000 students trained at the facility from

June 1 to November 30. The students represented

20 agencies, including the U.S. Dept. of Health

and Human Services (Chicago office), the National

Guard Military Police Unit (Toledo) and the City of

Findlay Fire Department.

The multi-million dollar facility can provide a full

array of training situations thanks to its multitude

of training props. In addition to a mock city

comprised of prefabricated buildings, the facility

includes a gas station training prop, a railroad

tank car fire trainer, a tractor-trailer tanker fire

trainer and an aircraft fire prop, among others.

The facility will also include an emergency

operations center with classrooms and

laboratories and a maintenance/storage facility.

Over the next decade, the need for professionals

trained to handle emergency situations is expected

to grow by up to 25 percent. The $20.5 million

Center for Emergency Preparedness will provide

training to help first responders meet this increase.

We built it; they came. Since the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new

Community Education and Wellness Center on the Findlay-area Campus in

March, companies are looking to Owens more than ever for their event needs.

One company, Ball Corporation, has already held several events, including

a corporate conference, at the new center.

“We were one of the first companies to use the Center,” said Tom Martin,

Plant Manager at Ball Corporation. “The business community has

benefited from this investment.”

In addition to the Environmental, Health and Safety Conference, during

which more than 100 members of the Ball Global leadership team

were hosted, Ball also held its annual OSHA

compliance training at the Center.

The $4.2 million, 24,772 square-foot facility

houses two shop bays, two computer laboratories,

two traditional classrooms, a tiered classroom, a

Multipurpose Room and a Wellness Center – all

with WiFi.

Wireless Internet service allows clients to use

laptops in conjunction with the material being

presented during their training sessions, a bonus

feature many businesses are looking for.

Approximately 30 training events were held

at the Center in 2007, including events for

Whirlpool and Cooper Tire. Nearly 1,000

students participated in these events.

The grand opening of the Community Education and Wellness Center was a perfect time to showcase the exciting features of the new facility.

The shop bays feature state-of-the-art technology for hands-on learning. The two classrooms are equipped with innovative computer and

multimedia capability, as well as network and Internet access. The computer laboratories have the latest in computing resources for business

and industry training instruction. The Multipurpose Room can accommodate more than 1,300 people and features on-site catering and the

latest in innovative computer, lighting and multimedia capability. And the Wellness Center serves as a multipurpose cardiovascular and fitness

area for students, employees, alumni and community members.

For a lot of students, going to college is not a matter

of desire. It’s a matter of access. Owens Community

College’s mission is to make access less of an issue

by offering classes throughout the community –

not just on the Findlay- or Toledo-area campuses.

In 2007, Owens began offering classes at The

Source, Lucas County’s One-Stop Employment

Center in downtown Toledo, and Toledo/Lucas

County Public Library branches.

The response to this effort has been overwhelming.

More than 160 students took classes at The Source

during Fall 2007. Of those students, 83, including

Latasha Hannah, were new to Owens.

“The Source is a great location,” the accounting major

said. “I only have to take one bus to work and to

school. It’s very convenient.”

Hannah, 21, currently works as a nurse assistant,

but wanted to try a new path. She heard about the

new Learning Center from a friend.

Accounting is one of more than 30 classes offered

at The Source. Other courses include electricity,

astronomy, basic algebra and public speaking.

The 11,367 square-foot Learning Center provides

the region with an array of expanded educational

choices and options.

Highlighted features of the Center include five

academic classrooms, two computer laboratories

and a nursing laboratory, all with state-of-the-art

technology and academic resources designed to

enhance learning through hands-on instruction

and exercises.

Online Learning In addition to bricks-and-mortar classrooms, Owens is also known for its online offerings. In total, 219 classes are available online, including the Cancer Information Management Certificate,which debuted in 2007. With the addition of this certificate, Owens now offers seven degrees or certificates online.

Mission:


It’s not official yet, but once hydrologists with the

U.S. Geological Survey finish their studies, the

flooding that devastated Findlay in August 2007

is expected to be the worst ever.

Residents were displaced, schools were closed and

possessions were lost, but wherever they could,

students, faculty and staff on the Findlay-area

Campus lent a hand.

“We all came together to help one another,”

said Students Involved President Jenna Padron.

“Students Involved and the campus as a whole

are committed to supporting our community.

We are proud to help”

And help they did.

Students Involved collected school supplies for

Findlay Middle School; Owens students who lost

their textbooks were given replacements at no cost;

and the Owens Faculty Association gave employees

affected by the flood a check to assist them with

their needs.

“It was great to see everyone pitch in during this

time,” said Judy Ennis, Executive Dean of the

Findlay-area Campus. “It shows that we all truly

do live by our mission to serve our community.”

The support wasn’t all on-campus – Findlay staff

went to Findlay High School to help restore their

computer system. And it didn’t end when the

waters receded – Student Government and the

Alumni Association collected cleaning supplies

and gift cards for flood victims.

Give Kids A Smile Oral hygiene, X-rays and fillings were

the focus of free dental appointments

at the College as more than 150

Northwest Ohio elementary and

high school students’ teeth were

transformed to pearly whites during

the nationwide Give Kids A Smile Day.

The Findlay-area Campus was set up as a Red Cross Disaster Relief Point following the devastating

August flood. The campus grounds bustled with Pee Wee football and soccer leagues holding

practice and Central Middle School sixth-graders attending class. Many Findlay organizations

and businesses also found meeting space on campus. And the Mormon Church used the

College’s coolers for cold food storage.

Student Government Community SupportStudent Government’s first-ever Dance-A-Thon raised more than

$1,100 in support of Make-A-Wish. Student Government also

raised funds for Relay for Life in 2007.

WorkingTogether

In another industry, inviting the competition to your

facility might be considered foolish. But at Owens

Community College, where student success is our

mission, collaboration goes a long way to meeting

our students’ needs. That is why advisors from

Bowling Green State University, Lourdes College

and the University of Toledo have offices on the

Toledo-area Campus.

“These advisors provide a valuable service to our

own advisors and students in the area of transfer,”

said Doug Bullimore, Enrollment Services Advisor.

“Often they share information about transfer

scholarships and other options that are available.

I have heard nothing but good news from the

students who have used the service.”

Kathy Sabbagh, Owens Express volleyball player and

Office of Enrollment Services student worker, is one

of the many students who have taken advantage of

this service.

“The University of Toledo advisor, Jennifer McDowell,

is very informative and friendly,” said Sabbagh, who

will complete her Associate of Science degree in May

2009 and then transfer to the University of Toledo

and major in nursing. “I go in to her all frazzled and

not sure of what classes to take and she always calms

me down and answers all my questions. She knows

her job and does it well.”

Sabbagh recommends that all transfer students talk

to the advisors on both campuses.

“It’s so much easier on you,” she explained. “You

don’t know what transfers and what doesn’t transfer,

but they do. And they’re right here on campus.”

Free Flu ShotsThrough the Owens Community College and University of Toledo

Health Sciences partnership, free flu vaccinations were offered to the

College population at the Student and Employee Health Services Center.

Academic All-AmericansFive Owens Community College student-athletes were selected to the 2006-07

Academic All-American Team by the National Junior College Athletic Association

for their outstanding accomplishments in the classroom and on the athletic

playing field.

John ByersCoordinator of Student Activities

With more than 50 clubs and organizations and seven Ohio Community

College Athletic Conference sports, Owens has an extra-curricular activity

for almost every student.

And if a student can’t find a group they are interested in, new clubs

are forming all the time. Nine new clubs started up in 2007 alone.

“Owens offers a wide range of clubs and organizations in health

technology, education, activities, honor societies and special interest

areas, so there is something for everyone,” said John Byers, Student

Activities Coordinator.

Juggling school, work, families and extra activities isn’t always easy, but Byers

says the reward is worth it. “The clubs and organizations at Owens offer

students a great opportunity to be able to meet new friends, network

within the College community, and develop a

multitude of leadership skills,” said Byers.

In addition to meeting people, building leadership

skills and staying active, participating allows

students to give back to the community. Every

year, Owens clubs, teams and organizations raise

thousands of dollars and volunteer hundreds of

hours for local causes.

In 2007, almost every organization gave back to

the community in some way. Student Government

volunteered at WTOL 11 on Election Night,

registered more than 50 students to vote and

raised money for Relay for Life and Make-A-Wish.

The Health Information Technology Student

organizations. And the Owens Environmental

Club, the Black Student Union and Students

Involved held other fundraisers. The athletic

teams also got on board with several of the teams

volunteering their time and collecting items for

local organizations.

“Participating in a club or organization or on a

team gives students the opportunity to connect to

the community at-large, helping various charities

and outreach programs that the students have

a passion for,” Byers said. “It’s a win-win for

students and the community as both gain valuable

resources. Students get to experience the joy in

the gift of service to these charitable organizations

while at the same time developing their own

unique leadership style.”

Ryan Davis of Tucson, Ariz. (men’s soccer), Laura Gerkensmeyer of Genoa (women’s

volleyball), Sarah Gerkensmeyer of Genoa (women’s volleyball), Justin McIntyre of

Monroe, Mich. (men’s soccer) and Jeremy Sheeks of Bowling Green (men’s baseball)

are among only 39 Owens student-athletes since 1994 to receive the award.

organizations. And the Owens Environmental

Club, the Black Student Union and Students

Involved held other fundraisers. The athletic

teams also got on board with several of the teams

volunteering their time and collecting items for

local organizations.

“Participating in a club or organization or on a

team gives students the opportunity to connect to

the community at-large, helping various charities

and outreach programs that the students have

a passion for,” Byers said. “It’s a win-win for

students and the community as both gain valuable

resources. Students get to experience the joy in

the gift of service to these charitable organizations

while at the same time developing their own

unique leadership style.”

Higher EducationPromoting


The talent chosen for the commercials represented

a wide range of the College’s population in an

effort to show that Owens is comprised of multiple

campuses, schools and areas of study. It is the sum

of its parts – the best of many worlds.

The campaign, which included television commercials,

billboards, direct mail and newspaper and radio

advertising, focused on higher education values,

a theme that the faculty, alumni and students

were eager to talk about. Sharing their personal

values and relationships to Owens cemented the

genuineness of the award-winning campaign and

aligned with the values of the College.

In Fall 2007, the campaign won a Gold Medallion

Award from fellow community college marketing

professionals confirming that the viewing – and

judging – audiences related to the people telling

the Owens story.

When Owens Community College put its marketing campaign together for

2007, finding talent for the commercials was as easy as looking in the hall.

After all, who better to testify to the College’s mission than the faculty and

students who work and study here?

Owens alumni comprised another group to appear in the marketing

campaign, and like the students and faculty, these graduates know

firsthand that Owens truly is a smart value for higher education.

“The faculty, alumni and students in the campaign believe in the value

of an Owens Community College education. That’s the importance

of Owens,” said Dr. Gary Corrigan, Director of Marketing and

Communications at the College.

Owens student Nicholas Simmons has his eyes

on the prize.

In addition to taking his final semester of classes,

the 21-year-old owns his own business, participates

in Big Brothers/Big Sisters, is in the Honor Society

and is learning the corporate ropes from Tom

Daniels, his Successful Connections mentor.

“I’ve always really wanted a mentor, someone to

take me under their wings,” Simmons says. “I

am learning a lot from Tom (Daniels, TNS, Vice

President, Multi-Country Projects Inbound).”

Simmons and Daniels were partnered as part of

the Alumni Association’s Successful Connections

Program, which has a mission to connect alumni

with second-year students to provide mentoring.

“Nicholas and I have both learned from each other,”

Daniels said. “I strongly recommend all Owens

alumni consider joining this program. We’ve all

been in the students’ shoes and can have a positive

impact in their development.”

The pilot program started in the School of

Business and Information Systems in 2007.

Alumni coaches introduced their students to

a professional network, provided tours of their

company, involved students with professional

meetings and networking opportunities and

assisted students with career development.

“Tom has opened my eyes to things I wouldn’t

have thought about,” Simmons says. “He’s

recommended books, shared his experiences

and introduced me to people, who have in turn

introduced me to more people. It’s a small

world and I love building relationships.”

Mission:the Arts

Advancing Whether it’s painting, singing, dancing or sculpting, students are always

in motion at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts. Artists of all

types can be heard and seen honing their crafts year-round, often in

preparation for the annual student theater production or art show.

Fifteen students participated in the student theater production of

“Earl the Vampire” in Spring 2007, while more than 50 students

participated in the student art show later in the year.

This kind of hands-on experience is hard to find at many colleges, but

theatre performance major Kari Duffy, who starred as Shana in “Earl

the Vampire”, said that’s not the case at Owens.

“You don’t get lost in the shuffle here,” she said. “They see advancing the

arts as part of their mission. There are more opportunities. You can step

up and do things that you might not get to

do at a larger university.”

Both the Center for Fine and Performing Arts

Theatre and the Walter E. Terhune Gallery, where

the student art show took place, also serve as

venues for touring and exhibiting artists.

Thirteen national touring acts, highlighted by

the “Complete Works of William Shakespeare

(Abridged)” and the Family Fun Sunday shows,

appeared on the Theatre stage in 2007.

And nearly 6,000 visitors attended the eight

exhibitions, including “The Art of Industry”

and “Faces”, at the Gallery.

The Center also hosted productions by the Toledo

School for the Arts, the Perrysburg Symphony

and The Toledo Repertoire Theatre in 2007.

“It’s all happening right here,” Duffy

said. “The Theatre and the Gallery

are really important for students.

what life would be like pursuing

a career in the arts.”

While studying abroad in Eastern Europe, Matt

Gall expected to expand upon the skills he would

need for a career in government or international

relations. Instead, he made a life-altering decision.

“For me, the food in Europe was just as memorable

as seeing all the sights,” Gall said. “At that point,

I finally figured out that cooking was my mission

in life. It was something I truly enjoyed and wanted

to keep doing.”

So he completed his bachelor’s degree in

International Studies at Miami University,

but instead of working for the government

after graduation, the Toledo native registered

for culinary arts classes at Owens.

Now in his last semester of classes, Gall is excited

to become a chef. He said this excitement is

something he didn’t feel as he was about to

receive his International Studies degree.

“As I got closer to graduating with my bachelor’s

degree, I grew less and less interested in pursuing

a career in government or international relations,”

he said. “I was always interested in other countries

and learning about other cultures, but I figured

out that the one thing I liked about other cultures

was the cuisine.”

Gall was one of a record-number of students at

Owens in 2007. Fall semester enrollment was up

6.9 percent from Fall 2006 and spring semester

enrollment was up 3.9 percent from Spring 2006.

Several of those students, like Gall, are coming to

Owens for a career change.

“If anyone is considering a change of careers,

I’d suggest they make sure it is something they

are passionate about and willing to work hard

for,” Gall said. “Having the support of important

people in your life is a major help as well.

Overall, if it is something you want, go for it.”

“I got to stay in Toledo after college,” said Zolnai,

who graduated in May 2007 with Water Treatment

and Safety Coordinator certificates. “I pay taxes

here. I eat here. I live here… in my hometown.

That’s what I wanted. I feel fortunate.”

Zolnai, who is employed by the City of Toledo

as a Water Control Room Operator, said Owens

gave him the chemistry, math, safety background

and practical experience needed to prepare him

for the position.

“Without going to Owens, I seriously doubt

I could have passed the operator’s exam and

been hired,” he said.

For more than 40 years, Owens has prepared

students for jobs available in Northwest Ohio.

The College has a mission to promote growth

in the communities it serves.

In 2007, the College’s total economic impact

was more than $223 million when considering

total expenditures and using a conservative 2.1

the local economy.

The College spent more than $96 million in

The Board of TrusteesOwens Community College is led by a talented, diverse and passionate group

of individuals. Appointed by the Ohio Governor to six-year terms, the trustees

continue to lead the College to success through their unwavering commitment and

support to the College’s Mission, Vision and Core Values.

Mission:

The $1.7 million U.S. Department of Postsecondary Education grant is the

largest grant or gift received in the College’s 42-year history. Owens was

selected as one of only 34 academic institutions nationwide to receive the

Title III, Part A, Strengthening Institutions Grant in 2006.

Since receiving a $1.7 million grant from the U.S.

Department of Postsecondary Education to enhance and

foster student success, Owens Community College has

spent the better part of 2007 developing a staggering

student success plan.

Part of that plan includes the implementation of the

electronic portfolio project, which allows students to

store papers, photos, video clips and other items in an

electronic format.

“In addition, the e-portfolio will allow students to showcase

projects and activities that are of particular interest to

future employers,” said Mindy Gray, instructor of the

pilot study course.

Gray added that the e-portfolio project has received

much recognition not only in the state of Ohio, but

also nationally.

Other milestones in the student success initiative

include becoming a Foundations of Excellence school

and developing a new program expected to serve

2,500 students in the coming year.

“In total, by Fall 2007, this program involved

at least 120 faculty and staff, and almost

3,000 students,” said Dr. Jason Tetzloff,

Director of the College’s Student Success

Initiatives. “This program is moving the

College forward and making it a premier

educational institution and a leader

in helping students succeed.”

The Board of TrusteesOwens Community College is led by a talented, diverse and passionate group

of individuals. Appointed by the Ohio Governor to six-year terms, the trustees

continue to lead the College to success through their unwavering commitment and

support to the College’s Mission, Vision and Core Values.

Mission:

The $1.7 million U.S. Department of Postsecondary Education grant is the

largest grant or gift received in the College’s 42-year history. Owens was

selected as one of only 34 academic institutions nationwide to receive the

Title III, Part A, Strengthening Institutions Grant in 2006.

Since receiving a $1.7 million grant from the U.S.

Department of Postsecondary Education to enhance and

foster student success, Owens Community College has

spent the better part of 2007 developing a staggering

student success plan.

Part of that plan includes the implementation of the

electronic portfolio project, which allows students to

store papers, photos, video clips and other items in an

electronic format.

“In addition, the e-portfolio will allow students to showcase

projects and activities that are of particular interest to

future employers,” said Mindy Gray, instructor of the

pilot study course.

Gray added that the e-portfolio project has received

much recognition not only in the state of Ohio, but

also nationally.

Other milestones in the student success initiative

include becoming a Foundations of Excellence school

and developing a new program expected to serve

2,500 students in the coming year.

“In total, by Fall 2007, this program involved

at least 120 faculty and staff, and almost

3,000 students,” said Dr. Jason Tetzloff,

Director of the College’s Student Success

Initiatives. “This program is moving the

College forward and making it a premier

educational institution and a leader

in helping students succeed.”

A consortium of educators and community

leaders discussed various diversity issues

relevant to black culture as part of a Black

History Month panel discussion held

Feb. 20.

Seventeen Owens students, faculty and

staff spent their Spring Break rebuilding

hurricane- and tornado-damaged homes

in the Gulf Coast area. Drywalling, painting

and working on plumbing were some of

their tasks.

The Information Systems Technology

Network Security Certificate and Degree

programs received national certification

from the Information Assurance Courseware

Evaluation Review Committee in March.

Owens was the first college in the nation

to successfully complete the course

mapping required for certification on the

first attempt. Owens is only one of two

colleges in the state with this certification.

More than 700 students graduated during

Spring Commencement. Michael P. Bell

served as keynote speaker while Leslie

Black, a Business Management major,

spoke as class representative. Of the

702 graduates, 195 graduated with

honors and 21 of those earned a

perfect 4.0 grade point average.

First generation college families learned

how students can make a successful

transition from high school to college

at the Toledo-area Campus’ new Parent

College 101 program. This free program

began in June.

The Early Learning Center on the Findlay-

area Campus had a year of firsts. In March,

the Center began accepting 2-year-olds. In

June, the Center held its first-ever Summer

Camp for children ages 6-12.

Area basketball players learned the

fundamentals of the sport at the Detroit

Pistons 2007 Youth Basketball Training

Camp held in the College’s Student Health

and Activities Center July 23-26.

Three students were named to the 2007

All-Ohio Academic Team. The Ohio

Association of Community Colleges and

Phi Theta Kappa International Honor

Society selected Renee Haas of Toledo,

Deanna Hays of St. Mary’s and Joanne

Reinhart of Fostoria for third team honors.

Only 50 students statewide were chosen

to receive this honor.

Owens partnered with 92.5 KISS-FM and

FM 104.7 WIOT to offer the “The Tuition is

Right” scholarship contest. The grand-

prize winner, Jeremiah Frye of Toledo, won

four semesters of free Owens tuition, while

runners-up Gregory Staib II of Oak Harbor

and Jerrilyn Piezer of Perrysburg each

received one semester of free tuition.

Thousands of high school students and their

parents attended College Preview Night and

Greater Hancock County College Night to

learn more about preparing for college while

gathering information from the more than 100 colleges and universities.

The Student American Dental Hygienists’

Association worked at the Michigan

International Speedway over the summer

to raise money to help offset the cost of

State Boards. Over the course of two days, the students raised $2,000.

Workforce and Community Services was selected

by Motorcycle Ohio to receive a $270,500 statewide

grant to establish a Motorcycle Safety Training

Program in Wood County, one of only

15 permanent training locations in Ohio.

Owens Community College’s Student

Government joined fellow students, area

residents and Owens employees in paying

tribute to those who lost their lives in the

Virginia Tech tragedy.

An outspoken advocate, storyteller and

visionary for people living with disabilities

and the culture to which they belong,

national lecturer Dan Wilkins spoke

before a crowd of more than 200 at the

College as part of Disability Awareness

Month activities. A wheelchair-user,

he discussed a broad range of topics,

ranging from disability and diversity

awareness, advocacy and self-advocacy

to the importance of humor, inclusion,

community and seeing the big picture.

A team of nursing students and faculty

volunteered to provide care for some of the

poorest residents of several small cities in

the Dominican Republic in March.

Twenty-six area police, fire and emergency

medical professionals were chosen to

receive the fourth annual Outstanding

Service Awards by Owens Community

College’s Alumni Association. The

recipients were honored as part of a

community celebration held in April.
