With light, vision is possible. With reflection, clarity of purpose is achieved.

Suspended from the vaulted ceiling in our Center for Fine and Performing Arts is an original glass sculpture called “Owens Rings”. It’s a dynamic piece, refracting sunlight and saturating every surface with prismatic bursts of rich rainbow color. Every angle, side and pane reflect a new perspective. Intrinsically woven into our core values is the tradition of providing a quality education that is open to all students. We are driven by our Mission to cultivate innovating initiatives, foster collaborative partnerships and be leaders in service. We are committed to our Vision of engaging students in excellent learning experiences that exceed expectations and strengthen our communities. We provide education for a better life. Collegial sharing abounds on our campuses, and new leadership is emerging at all levels. We value and support professional development. The Owens Leadership Academy, an exemplar “grow your own” model, was showcased as a “best practice,” receiving accolades from peer community colleges located across the United States through the Consortium for Community College Development’s program, Strategic Horizons.

MISSION We believe in serving our students and our communities. Your success is our mission.

We have embarked on an alternative re-accreditation process through the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) promotes a culture of involvement and continuous improvement at all levels of the organization. By assessing our success in teaching and learning, we will help students reach their potential.

VISION Owens faculty and staff are committed to strengthening the community by providing a superior educational experience through excellence, innovation and collaboration.

The launch of a major student success initiative in 2006 was made possible through the U.S. Department of Education’s award of a $1.7 million grant. This amazing program will focus on the first-year experience of first generation college students. In our 2006 Annual Report, “Perspectives”, discover the radiant facets of Owens Community College in your community through the diverse voices of our students, alumni, faculty, community partners and friends. Reminiscent of our glass sculpture, our Mission is dynamic, inspiring new perspectives. We believe in serving. We believe in our students and our communities. We believe, “Your success is our mission!”

The generosity of Foundation donors, and the College’s low tuition, advance student learning.

Owens Community College makes a college education more accessible through scholarships and financial aid. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to afford to go to college,” Owens student Ashley Smith said. “Fortunately, Owens has scholarship opportunities for students like me.” In 2006, Smith received one of more than 370 academic and athletic scholarships totaling $717,000 awarded by Owens Community College, the Owens Community College Board of Trustees, the Owens Community College Foundation and the Owens Community College Alumni Association. Aside from scholarships, more than 10,000 students received $45.5 million in federal financial aid assistance to attend Owens Community College. Students such as Smith are greatly assisted by the Foundation, which has granted more than $1.1 million in scholarships and program support since incorporation in 2002. The Annual Giving Campaign initiative fosters awareness and raises funds for students. In 2006, 453 donors gave to Foundation initiatives, resulting in an additional $325,000 toward scholarships and program support. As a result of the College’s affordable tuition rates, Foundation donors can assist a greater number of students. Based on 2006-07 average tuition rates, more than six students obtained an Owens education at the same cost as one student enrolled at a private college or university.

Owens Community College offers more than 150 two-year associate degree and certification programs. With the constantly changing needs of a diverse student population, the College understands the importance of customer service and accessibility. “I wanted to get a head start on my college education, so I enrolled in the College’s Post Secondary Enrollment Option Program when I was a junior at Rossford High School,” Owens student Ashely Cichocki said. “Owens had so many program areas to choose from, and I was able to take classes that fit into my schedule. Now, I’m even taking classes online.” The College has academic programs in the schools of Arts and Sciences, Business and Information Technology, Health Sciences, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and Technology, as well as Skilled Trades. Courses are held at modern campus locations in suburban Toledo and Findlay, a variety of off-campus locations in the community and on-site for corporate, non-profit and industry training. For added convenience, courses are offered during the day, at night and on weekends.

“I would recommend Owens Community College to anyone who is planning to go to college. I have had nothing but a positive experience with the faculty and staff and appreciate the many options that were provided.” ASHELY CICHOCKI

Owens student Pre-Business Administration major

A tremendous growth area at the College continues to be eOwens online courses, evidenced by 19,970 students enrolled in this area in 2006 – an increase of 63 percent from 2005. Online courses offer a great deal of flexibility for students facing time management challenges due to work, family and education. “I enjoy taking online classes because you can go at your own pace and not have to attend class at the same time on the same day throughout the entire semester,” Cichocki said. As access to higher education continues to evolve, so too will the College and the options it provides students and the Northwest Ohio community.

The College meets the needs of a growing student population.

International students from 43 countries enrolled in 2006.

Owens Community College serves a global community with its international student education program. The College made preparations in 2006 to launch an international registered nurse training program at Shuguang Hospital in Shanghai, China. Already a national leader in producing allied health and nursing graduates, the College is making the natural progression to deliver its quality education abroad. Through the training program in Shanghai, the College will teach Western nursing practices to help increase the quality and quantity of nurses in China – a country that is 18 million nurses short of what is needed to care for its population of 1.3 billion.

“My friends from different countries talked with me about how the College met our needs regardless of our backgrounds. The educational standard is very high. I cannot say enough good things about Owens Community College.” Gibril Kargbo

The College is continuing to educate nurses from Taiwan through a partnership with the Global Nursing Institute (GNI), bringing registered nurses from Taiwan to the College for advanced training. The National Taichung Nursing College in Taiwan is pursuing a Memorandum of International Exchange with the College, further illustrating the College’s reputation overseas. Over the past three years, the on-campus international student population increased 52 percent, representing 43 countries including larger nations like Russia, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Japan and smaller nations such as Kuwait, Ghana and Sierra Leone – Owens student Gibril Kargbo’s homeland. “Everything at Owens was different from what I grew up with – the teaching, the learning environment, the testing, the grading – and because of that, I have expanded my knowledge and critical thinking skills,” said Kargbo, who attended the College on a soccer scholarship. Besides traveling to the United States, another means has made an Owens education available internationally. In 2006, residents from Germany, Japan, Kuwait and Taiwan took eOwens online courses and the College is currently developing a web-based International Nursing Certificate, which will be available to students worldwide.

An Owens education transfers to many four-year colleges and universities.

Owens Community College provides for the seamless transfer of credits from one public post-secondary institution to another in Ohio. Students from more than 300 colleges and universities transferred their credits to or from the College in 2006. The College’s low tuition is one of the many advantages for students wanting to earn the first two years of a bachelor’s degree and then transfer their credits to other institutions. Students also appreciate an Owens education for its quality and experienced faculty as they advance toward their goal. “It was very easy to get into Owens classes when you needed to. I was told I had one of the most complete transfer records to prepare me for my bachelor’s degree,” said Tessa Gresko, who finished her Associate’s Degree in August 2006 and transferred to Mercy College of Northwest Ohio. She is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in health care administration. “It was a smooth transition,” she said. The Owens classroom is a rich and diverse experience for students such as Gresko and Darius Hall, who spent four years in the U.S. Navy and is majoring in Communications with a minor in African-American studies. The diversity of students adds unique value to the learning process. This is especially true in the Summer Semester, when students who attend other colleges and universities enroll at Owens while they are home for summer. In 2006, students from nearly 80 other colleges and universities took Summer Semester classes and transferred the credits toward their degree program.

“The military (advisor at another university) told me take as many classes at Owens as possible that will transfer and then transfer my credits because classes at Owens are more affordable.”

Many of these students realized the advantage in taking Owens classes, how it contributed to graduating on time or ahead of schedule and even reduced the average cost of their bachelor’s degree.

Well-rounded Owens Community College graduates understand how to prioritize their academics with family and work commitments and non-academic interests.

“There are a lot of different ways to get involved here. You can learn many things and hang out with other students who have the same interests as you. It makes college a lot more fun.” Brian Bowker

Owens Express golf team Pre-Business Administration major

“You learn to manage your time, knowing you have assignments due on certain dates and you might have to spend three days on the road at a tournament,” Owens student Brian Bowker said. “Being involved helps you complete assignments ahead of time. Your assignments are more thought-out and accurate.” Under the direction of the Office of Student Activities, student groups balance recreation with community service projects. Student Government was one of the most active organizations, promoting voter registration and lobbying with Ohio legislators in Columbus about the importance of higher education. Student Government also collected and delivered goods and supplies to help Hurricane Katrina victims and others living in area community shelters and sponsored on-campus events honoring military veterans and Black History Month. In athletics, the College’s seven intercollegiate teams won 67 percent of their games and the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference championship in women’s volleyball and softball. The golf team, in its inaugural season, reached the NJCAA national tournament and placed 14th overall. Individually, five student-athletes received All-American or Academic All-American honors, marking the 17th consecutive year at least one student-athlete was recognized nationally. Additionally, the Milwaukee Brewers signed Express pitcher Mike Ramlow Jr., the third baseball player drafted in school history.

Perhaps the most notable accomplishment belonged to the Express cheerleading squad, which performed on the world’s largest sporting and entertainment stage, dancing to the music of the legendary Rolling Stones as part of the Super Bowl XL halftime show at Ford Field in Detroit.

In today’s rapidly changing world, lifelong learning is the standard, not the exception.

Owens Community College specializes in meeting the needs of an ever-changing Northwest Ohio business and industry community. The College is committed to helping business organizations realize their potential and increase productivity by offering high quality instruction and relevant programs consistent with current and emerging educational and labor market needs. In 2006, the College served the training needs of more than 13,500 non-credit students and 400-plus companies. “The appeal of Owens Community College is the reliability of its instructors, its training programs and the opportunity to work together to receive grants. The training is convenient and flexible,” said Sherry Unverferth, Human Resources Administrator, Whirlpool Corporation, Findlay Division. “Owens Community College has exceeded our expectations.” On the Findlay-area Campus, the new Community Education and Wellness Center expands training opportunities for business organizations. The Center features a multipurpose room that seats 375 people for banquets and 500 people theater-style as well as a tiered, 150-plus seat wireless classroom, two computer labs and two open laboratory/shop bay areas with attached classrooms. Aside from offering training to business organizations, the College provides a transitioning team to assist employees with career planning in the event of business and plant closings or acquisitions. When the Ford Motor Company’s Stamping Plant in Maumee announced its 2008 closing, the College immediately reached out to the plant’s employees, teaching on-site classes about job search skills and skill transference and educating these employees about their buyout option and retraining possibilities. The College continued to have a daily presence at Ford’s Engine Plant in Lima with five employees working on two initiatives. In 2006, Ford outsourced its on-site training program and management of its training facility to the College, which continued to teach Ford employees GED, college prep and computer courses through the Skills Enhancement Program. 13

Owens Community College’s faculty members are truly focused on student success. Due to a wealth of advanced and technical degrees along with real-world employment experience, the College’s more than 1,100 faculty members engage students with a superior educational experience. Faculty members know exactly what employers want through their extensive professional relationships and regular contact with their academic program area’s advisory board members. Many faculty members bring their professional work experience into the classroom – a true benefit to students. Their knowledge base stretches beyond the textbook and includes anecdotal stories from the present day, week or month, keeping the curriculum fresh, interesting and updated.

“Teaching at Owens is truly a rewarding experience for me. We have the opportunity to support the students and make a difference in their quest for education. Being able to deliver our technology classes in high quality computer labs, rather than in the lecture hall, gives our students the edge in meeting their goals.”

Dedicated to lifelong learning, the faculty members also expand their knowledge by pursuing continued education and advanced degrees. In fact, 76 percent of the College’s full-time faculty members have earned doctoral or master’s degrees.

“I receive satisfaction from seeing students grow and mature as a result of planting the seeds of knowledge through their course work. It is also pleasing to see graduates succeed in the real world and return to Owens as adjunct faculty members, serving on advisory committees and seeing the knowledge base perpetuated.”

CY KEIFFER, B.S., M.A., MBA

“‘Those who love teaching help others love learning’ is a saying that guides my work at Owens. I try to model the spirit of that quote in the hope future and current educators I encounter in our learning community will do the same in their own classrooms. Being a professor at Owens is an exciting, challenging, humbling and gratifying experience that continually renews my zeal for teaching and lifelong learning.”

“Teaching is about compassion for students, a genuine desire to impart knowledge as something of value and assistance in the development of future leaders. Education, within itself, can’t make us all leaders, but certainly can teach us which leaders to follow.”

“Teaching at Owens is an incredible experience. I have the privilege of working with very talented, hard working and dedicated individuals. It warms my heart to visit current students in the clinical setting and see former students gainfully employed in a career that is exciting, challenging and financially rewarding for them. I have warm affection toward my students and a genuine desire to help them be successful professionally and personally.”

The Alumni Association strengthened the connection and sense of pride between alumni and their alma mater.

With more than 1,800 active members, community outreach initiatives and vibrant events, the Owens Community College Alumni Association positively impacts Northwest Ohio. Carolyn Chapman is one of 19 business and industry leaders who comprise an energetic Alumni Board responsible for the Association’s growing list of activities. “I enjoy the camaraderie and the experience of connecting with fellow Owens alumni,” said Chapman, a graduate of the College’s office secretarial technology program. The Association continued to sponsor two signature events in 2006, one directly benefiting children and another honoring those in public service. Through Backpack to the Future, the Association collected more than 250 backpacks and nearly 3,200 school supply items and donated these materials to children at 10 area elementary schools. At the annual Outstanding Service Awards, the Association recognized the heroic efforts of law enforcement, fire and emergency medical personnel from Northwest Ohio. The Alumni Association’s major fundraisers, including the annual Golf Classic and Alumni Phonathon, helped grow the Alumni Legacy Endowed Scholarship Fund to nearly $93,000, an amount that has grown by 830 percent in just three years. The scholarship fund, through the generosity of alumni and community members, enables children of Association members to receive financial support to attend Owens Community College. To help form an ever-lasting bond between alumni, faculty, staff and current and future students, the Association also held a number of well-attended and successful social events, including the Mud Hens Night, Shop ‘Til You Drop and Whitewater Rafting.

Owens Community College is a destination for community members seeking performing and visual arts experiences that challenge, educate and entertain. The College’s Center for Fine and Performing Arts concluded its fourth and most successful year in 2006, highlighted by a 40 percent increase in attendance for the performing arts and the Judy Chicago exhibit in the Terhune Gallery. Artists originating from Chicago, New York, Boston, Detroit, Florida, New Mexico, Virginia and Canada performed on the mainstage theatre, including Japanese drumming sensation San Jose Taiko and the “Modern Day Houdini” tandem, the Spencers. The Family Fun Series continued to attract audiences of all ages with shows titled “The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fair(l)y Stoopid Tales” and ArtsPower’s production of “Harry the Dirty Dog.” Many of the shows included workshops, which provided students and community members an opportunity to meet the artists and learn about their music, craft or style prior to the performance.

The Center is an exhilarating, intimate setting for performing and visual arts.

“I’m pleasantly surprised how good the entertainment is and at the quality of the performers.” DOUGLAS HOLDRIDGE

Perrysburg resident CFPA Theatre Patron

All of this innovative, creative and stimulating entertainment drew patrons from as far away as Cleveland, Ann Arbor, Toronto and California as well as the Northwest Ohio community, including Douglas Holdridge and his wife, Judy. In the Terhune Gallery, an average of nearly 1,000 people per show viewed eight exhibitions, ranging from juried shows for students and faculty members to the community arts show. The Gallery’s reputation continues to expand along with that of the theatre, as more people learn about the performing and visual arts scheduled at the Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts.

Nearly 1,300 people viewed Judy Chicago’s “Studies from the Holocaust Project: From Darkness Into Light” at the Walter E. Terhune Gallery. The exhibition ran for six weeks and included a day-long lecture series and music inspired by the Holocaust. 25
