LAKE LAND COLLEGE CONTINUES TO BE THE FIRST CHOICE AMONG HIGH SCHOOL GRADS Posted on September 10, 2018 The 2018 Fall 10th Day Enrollment Report shows Lake Land College continues to be the first choice among district high school seniors. For 17 years, the college has attracted more than 30 percent of all area high school graduates. This fall, 34 percent of the Class of 2018 is enrolled at Lake Land College. “This is a remarkable achievement considering all the enrollment challenges we have seen throughout the state. During these years, Lake Land College has continued to focus on our students by providing a personalized educational experience that leads to success in the workforce or upon transfer. We are proud to be the college of choice for high school graduates in our area,” Lake Land College President Josh Bullock said. The enrollment report also indicates Workforce Ready programs are seeing upward growth for the second year in a row. New programs and enhancements in response to workforce needs are paving the way for the increase. Throughout the district, many schools have nearly 40 percent of the graduating class attending Lake Land, with some schools nearing 70 percent. The schools with the highest percentage enrolled are Neoga Junior Senior High, Stewardson-Strasburg High School, Sullivan High School and Kansas High School. The schools with the largest number of graduates enrolled are Mattoon, Charleston, Effingham and Sullivan. In total, 625 in-district graduates are enrolled this fall. When looking at all new high school graduates, the number grows to 758. “We are pleased that every high school in our district has 2018 graduates enrolled with us this fall,” Vice President for Student Services Tina Stovall said. Data from the National Student Clearinghouse indicates in-district graduates have chosen Lake Land College over any other college by a 10 to 1 ratio each of the past three years and we anticipate that 2018 will be no exception, said Stovall who presented the enrollment report to the Lake Land College Board of Trustees at the Sept. 10 meeting. “Of those in-district graduates attending college, more than 600 were enrolled at Lake Land. In comparison, the second and third colleges on the list each had closer to 60 students enrolled from each graduating class,” she added. Overall, there are 4,582 students enrolled in Lake Land College classes this fall semester. Despite consistent enrollment of high school graduates, fall enrollment shows an overall 7.7 percent drop in headcount and a 4.9 percent drop in credit hours or full time equivalency (FTE), compared to last fall, according to the 10th day report. Much of the decline comes in the area of non-degree enrollment which includes students taking individual courses but not pursuing a degree or certificate. Two main factors influencing enrollment are the size of the high school graduating class and increased opportunities for employment in our area. This year’s high school graduating class of 1,826 was the second smallest in the college’s history. Over time, the college has seen a direct correlation between unemployment rates and college enrollment, particularly with adult students, Stovall said. With today’s unemployment rate less than 4 percent, the adult student enrollment at the start of fall semester has dropped by nearly 40 percent over the past five years. “A low rate of unemployment is good for our community and allows our alumni to be gainfully employed, families to contribute to their communities and businesses to thrive. With more of our community, particularly adults, employed there are fewer students seeking a college education. Lake Land College stands ready with opportunities to help them to advance in their careers with specific courses or new programs,” Bullock said. During the past few years, Lake Land College has introduced several new programs and strengthened many others in response to the needs of local employers. These efforts have paid off in the Workforce Ready side of the college which is seeing its second year of enrollment growth. Workforce Ready programs provide workforce credentials through associate degree and certificate programs that prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation. Recent examples of these new programs include Medical Assistant, IT-LaunchCode and LSC Communications Fast Track. All of these programs were developed in response to a need identified in the local business community. “Our student population at Lake Land is unique to the communities we serve. Our goal is to provide the education and training to meet those unique needs, Stovall said. “With new initiatives throughout the state addressing the migration of students outside of Illinois when seeking higher education opportunities, Lake Land College is proud to be the first choice of our district high graduates and our business partners seeking training programs for their workforce,” Bullock said. The 10th day enrollment report is a standard report among the higher education community that captures opening enrollment data each semester. -30-

WALLETHUB: LAKE LAND COLLEGE 4TH BEST COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN ILLINOIS Posted on September 6, 2018 Lake Land College has been ranked the fourth best community college in the state of Illinois according to a recent independent study by the financial website WalletHub. The study examined 17 key factors, ranging from cost and finances to educational and career outcomes. The ranking, published August 20, 2018, compares 715 community colleges from across the country, and 40 community colleges in Illinois. Lake Land College also ranks 20th nationally in the same study for educational outcomes. Metrics used when comparing educational outcomes include first-year retention rate, graduation rate, transfer-out rate, credentials (degrees and certificates) awarded per 100 full-time equivalency students, share of full-time faculty, and student-faculty ratio. Lake Land College President Josh Bullock said Lake Land College’s standard of excellence is reflected in the college’s ranking. “The findings demonstrate the commitment of our board, faculty and staff to offer a quality academic environment that provides a local pathway for students to reach their career goals and seek gainful employment,” Bullock said. “We offer this opportunity to students at a price point that allows them to begin a future on solid financial footing. We are pleased to receive this endorsement from WalletHub, an organization that promotes financial literacy.” At about $4,000 per year, Lake Land College’s tuition and fees are among the lowest in the state. Students who begin a bachelor’s degree at Lake Land College will save about $40,000 in room and board, tuition and fees compared to a state university. Plus, students do not have to pay for books with the college’s textbook rental program. These savings significantly reduce the potential for crippling student loan debt upon graduation. Students who complete a Workforce Ready program gain valuable hands-on training and workforce connections that open doors for employment upon graduation. This affordability and academic quality are the top reasons students choose to begin their educational journey at Lake Land College, according to the Spring 2018 Novel Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory Survey. The same study indicated Lake Land College was the first choice of more than 80 percent of its students. Throughout the district, high school graduates also put Lake Land College at the top. Of those students attending college, students choose Lake Land over other higher education options by a margin of 10:1. According to WalletHub, the information and data included in the ranking was gathered from the National Center for Educational Statistics, US News, U.S. Department of Education, Council for Community & Economic Research, and College Measures.

Lake Land College Agriculture Graduates Receive National Scholarship Posted on August 29, 2018 Three of five students in the nation to receive a prestigious scholarship from the AJSA were students that recently graduated from Lake Land College’s agriculture program. Emily Ivey, Loudon, Tennessee; Leslie Walker, Bloomington-Normal; and Kaylie Huizenga, Morrison; all received the Gold Merit Scholarship from the American Junior Simmental Association for exceptional work with the Simmental and Simbrah breed of cattle. The $3,000 scholarship goes to students who have demonstrated exceptional work with the breed both academically and in their community and who have previously been awarded the bronze and silver merit scholarships. Only five scholarships are awarded each year. “My favorite thing to do in the community is to take what I know and introduce kids to the cattle. I found my passion and it would be cool to help them discover theirs,” Ivey said. “It was a really proud moment for me because it is something I have worked for in the past 11-12 years and my dad has been in the Simmental industry for over 30 years and it made him happy too,” Walker said. “I am transferring to the University of Illinois for my last two years and my major is agriculture economics, so I plan to work in an economics division of an agricultural company.” Lake Land College Division Chair Agriculture/Agriculture Instructor Ryan Orrick said that these students stood out in their time on campus. “Work ethic, drive, leadership and professionalism of these three students was remarkable. They were always willing to get involved and accomplish the task set in front of them,” Orrick said. “I am proud of their accomplishment. All three of them, along with their families have a strong and sincere passion for the Simmental breed.” To learn more about the agriculture programs at Lake Land College visit lakelandcollege.edu and under “Academics” go to “Academic, Majors, Degrees, and Certifications.”
