Your Community, Your College Robert Denson, DMACC President Joe Pugel, DMACC Board Chairman DMACC is launching a new campaign to celebrate the achievements of our students and graduates. Called Your Community, Your College, it highlights the tremendous impact our graduates are having on communities throughout Iowa. It shows how important DMACC graduates are to our quality of life and economic success from building our homes and fixing our cars to protecting us and even caring for us when we are sick. DMACC graduates are always there when you need them. And, with more than 95 percent of DMACC graduates staying and living in Iowa, they are the life force of our communities. As a result, DMACC and Central Iowa are tightly bound together by workforce, economic development and lifelong learning. DMACC listens to businesses and works with communities to develop programs and coursework that make Central Iowa one of the most vibrant regions in the nation. Education has always been the engine that powers America s dreams and our students goals. DMACC has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade, nearly doubling in size, both in the number of programs and number of students. In 2011, for example, the College launched 20 new programs and certificates that include water treatment, and a new Homeland Security emphasis in our criminal justice program. Today, the College offers more than 150 programs and short-term certificates. DMACC has accomplished much, but we must now plan for the next 10 years as new challenges and opportunities lay ahead. DMACC is energized with new ideas, and plans for new student opportunities, and is remodeling facilities and always developing exciting new programs and courses. The College will strive to improve the quality of life for individuals by meeting their educational and training needs. It s part of Your Community, Your College. The following Annual Report highlights some of the many stories and milestones helping to shape all of us as an organization. Your Community, Your College is also a part of a broad strategic planning initiative that started in 2012. It will evaluate our programs, facilities, partnerships and services.

Dmacc Hosts National Policy Discussions DMACC hosted an array of high-ranking members of the Obama Administration in 2012, each of whom praised DMACC s many roles in adding vitality to the region s economic life. On Feb. 10, Secretary of Agriculture and former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack visited DMACC s Ankeny Campus to discuss President Obama s plan for economic growth in Iowa. Vilsack participated in a roundtable discussion with agriculture and business leaders as well as DMACC faculty and staff. On March 8, U.S. Under Secretary of Education Dr. Martha J. Kanter visited the DMACC Ankeny Campus, toured area businesses, met with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and also sat in on Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak s presentation as part of iweek on West Campus. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Assistant Secretary of Education Brenda Dann-Messier hosted a Town Hall meeting with students, business leaders and Central Iowans on the Ankeny Campus on April 19. Alan B. Krueger, Chairman of President Obama s Council of Economic Advisers and a member of the Cabinet visited DMACC s Urban Campus on Oct. 9. A labor economist, Krueger has been published widely on unemployment, the economics of education, income distribution, social insurance, regulation, terrorism, finance and the environment. U.S. Secretary of Education Praises Iowa s Concurrent Enrollment Strength During his stop at DMACC in April, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan praised Iowa s leadership in enrolling high school students in courses that provide both high school and college credit, known as joint or concurrent enrollment. Statewide, more than half of Iowa high school seniors are jointly enrolled students, said Duncan. That s just absolutely amazing. It s a remarkable record and we d like to see every state in the nation duplicate what you are doing here in Iowa. DMACC Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Kim Linduska said the large number of jointly enrolled students comes from a variety of factors created by high schools and all Iowa community colleges creating partnerships. High school students and parents and teachers are savvy, said Linduska. If you are a high-achieving high school student, that senior year you have probably met all of your high school requirements. That creates the opportunity to take some of these concurrent enrollment courses and get college credit and get a head start on your college career while you are still in high school. It saves money. It keeps students engaged their senior year. And we have lots of data that says if a student takes a concurrent enrollment class in high school, they will be more successful in college. Mission statements Des Moines Area Community College Mission: DMACC provides quality, affordable, student-centered education and training designed to empower all students in their pursuit of life s opportunities and their career goals. Vision: DMACC will improve the quality of life for individuals in its communities by meeting their educational and training needs throughout their lives. DMACC Foundation Mission: DMACC Foundation assures educational excellence through charitable giving. Vision: The DMACC Foundation will strive to secure philanthropic and external sources of support for the students, faculty, staff and programs of DMACC. 3
ACADEMICS DMACC is constantly working with area employers and public organizations to create new or redesigned training programs. Two such examples from 2012 were:
Academics Fire and Water Among New Programs added in 2012 Water Environmental Tech DMACC s innovative Water Environmental Technology (WET) courses offer training that allows students to secure an initial job or advance their existing career in the growing fields of water and wastewater treatment. The DMACC WET program provides students with the fastest educational track to master new, evolving technologies and systems, as well as achieve the governmental certification that is increasingly required at every level. A two-year AAS WET degree gives students a distinct advantage that opens more opportunities for advancement. Fire Science DMACC s Fire Science offerings were extensively updated in 2012 under the direction of new department chair Eric Dunn. The newly redesigned Fire Science program will provide the latest training to students and also prepare current fire science professionals to advance their careers. Both one-year certificate training and two-year Associate in Applied Science degrees are available. DMACC created marketing materials and events to make fire departments throughout the state aware of the new offerings. Graduates of the program have been employed as industrial fire protection specialists, safety technicians, fire insurance inspectors, forest fire fighters, inspection bureau representatives, state fire inspectors and municipal fire department employees. Music Jazz musician Scott Davis joined the DMACC music faculty as an adjunct instructor. Davis started teaching a new course in the fall of 2012 entitled Jazz History and Appreciation. In the three-credit course, students will listen to, discuss and learn about the historical context of jazz from the late 1800s to the current style. Music Program Chair Jim Loos said students will learn about the cities where jazz developed and the influential composers and performers. Davis has been playing and teaching jazz music for more than 30 years. He also plays trumpet with the Scott Davis Quartet, Free Style and other ensembles. Video Production DMACC has launched new visual communication classes in 2012. Video Production I & II explores how to start from a basic concept to develop and produce video segments for use in website and other digital media. Emphasis is placed on getting the concept from a raw idea to production using industry-standard software to produce and edit. Instructor Steve Schott is, a Hollywood veteran who has produced many commercials and TV shows including Carol Burnett and the Jeff Foxworthy Show. 5
In 2012, DMACC implemented the first-of-its-kind in Iowa Honors Program to provide a quality, innovative and responsive learning environment to the highest academic achieving students. The program has rigorous acceptance criteria, including a high ACT score and essay requirements. Honors students study more challenging curriculum, but are rewarded with some exclusive benefits and amenities, such as honors-only on-campus housing in Boone. In 2012 there were more than 60 Honors students across all DMACC campuses. The launch was a very positive experience, said Dr. Kim Linduska, DMACC Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. It s a strong program that articulates with the regent schools as well as other four-year colleges and universities. The DMACC Honors Program also offers some exciting benefits to students including scholarships, field trips, speakers, lower studentto-professor classes and priority registration, just to name a few. Combining affordability and accessibility with an enhanced curriculum should make DMACC an attractive option for even more high-achieving students.
2012 Honors International Business Course Ranked Among Best in U.S. DMACC has been recognized as one of the top 20 community colleges for excellence in International Business Education. According to the 2012 Benchmarking Study on International Business at Community Colleges, DMACC has sustained excellence in International Business Education. DMACC is in a top 20 cluster selected from 1,132 community colleges in the U.S. Highlights of the DMACC International Business Education Course include: hhinstructors who have worked or are still working in the International Business field hhtrips to local companies that are engaged in international trade hhtele-meetings with U.S. and foreign ambassadors and senior officials hhopportunities to travel overseas hhthe Introduction to International Business course, offered at the Ankeny, Boone, Carroll, Urban and West Campuses DMACC Named Site for National Student Ag Organization The National Postsecondary Agricultural Student Organization (PAS) relocated its national office to the Des Moines Area Community College s Ankeny Campus. It s housed in the FFA Enrichment Center. In addition, DMACC Agri-Business Chair Craig McEnany of Nevada, IA, has become the new Executive Director for the organization. The National PAS is a collegiate association dedicated to ag education and helping students prepare for a career in agriculture. Since its founding in 1979, membership has grown to 1,400 students from 62 chapters located in 18 states. DMACC was selected over other competing colleges and universities. TSA Graduates Ten Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at Des Moines International Airport have been recognized for completing a program in Homeland Security studies delivered in partnership with Des Moines Area Community College. Each of the officers received a TSA Certificate of Achievement for successfully completing three courses: Introduction to Homeland Security; Intelligence Analysis and Security Technology; and Transportation and Border Security. The partnership with DMACC allows TSA employees to work toward a TSA Homeland Security certificate or pursue an Associate degree in Homeland Security or a related field. 7
Retention Helping Students Cross the Academic Finish Line DMACC has excelled at attracting students. But in 2012, College leaders turned more attention to improving support structures that will help more students reach their education goals and graduate. A cornerstone of early efforts was a new The College Experience course required of all new students at DMACC. The course assigns each students a mentor and makes students aware of the challenges and opportunities that come with attending college. DMACC s student orientation was also expanded into a daylong session that allows more time to show students around and make them aware of the support services available. Among the many changes taking place across the College, a few of the new Completion Agenda initiatives launched in 2012 include: hha new, required college planning and orientation course called SDV 108, The College Experience hhmore developmental courses in Math and English hhgrowth of learning communities hhpurchase of new Degree Works advising software that helps advisors to better track a student s progress hhcreation of the new Honors Program hhhiring more student advisors at Ankeny and Urban hhmore faculty training We also asked our students to create a college completion plan that centers on what it is they want to do as their goal to complete DMACC, said Kim Linduska, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, we really are hopeful that will help students stay here longer and finish their degrees. DMACC s faculty will be an asset in the efforts to retain more students We have the best faculty in the state, by far, said Linduska. One initiative we have is really promoting the use of technology in teaching and learning, which affects the engagement of faculty with students in the classroom, which in turn affects retention. The whole integrity and quality of our academic program really rests with our faculty, so supporting our faculty as they engage students is very important. 8

FEBRUARY 2013 The Chinese Association of Iowa s 25 Years Celebration Committee has selected DMACC as its Leadership in Diversity Award recipient for 2013. MARCH 2013 Daymond John, one of the Sharks on the ABC-TV reality show Shark Tank and founder of fashion brand FUBU ; Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman, founders and inventors of the SOCCKET soccer ball that doubles as a portable generator; John Gaeta, Academy Award-winning visual effects designer best known for his work on the Matrix film trilogy and Dr. Gene William Poor, founder of LifeFormations, an animatronics studio that has created animated figures for museums, retailers and theme parks, were keynote speakers at the 2013 Celebrate! Innovation Week event on the DMACC West Campus. The family of Dorothy A. Wyant of Ankeny creates the DMACC Foundation Dorothy A. Wyant Elementary Education STEM Certificate Scholars Program, awarding at least $5,000 in scholar awards for approximately 25 years. APRIL 2013 Nine DMACC students are named to the 2013 All-Iowa Academic Team. They include Kathleen Boatwright of Des Moines, Josi Arguello of Newton, Bradlee Beadle of Des Moines, Joshua Stevens of Sioux City, Sonya Dunn of Carroll, Caitlin Hainley of Mingo, Phillip Porter of Des Moines, Jaime Kline of Des Moines and Lucas Hall of Ames. Dunn was also named the New Century Scholar for being the student who scored the highest among the All-Iowa Academic Team applicants. Stevens was named one of the Coca-Cola Silver Scholars, while Hainley was named a Coca-Cola Bronze Scholar. DMACC Boone Campus student Joshua Stevens of Sioux City receives the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship. The scholarship will pay all tuition, books, fees and living expenses for the final two to three years necessary to achieve a Bachelor s degree. This scholarship would easily amount to more than $100,000 of academic assistance. 10 10
Campus Features A growing number of students would rather walk to class than drive, a trend DMACC Ankeny is moving decisively to accommodate.
Ankeny Campus Housing Moves Ankeny Toward the Total College Experience Students are looking more to community colleges to give them the whole college experience, said Kim Linduska, DMACC s Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Ankeny Campus Provost. When the community colleges were built in the 1960s they were almost all commuter campuses. Now students want to come to community colleges for their career programs or the reasonable costs for their first two years, but they also want that complete college experience, and living on campus helps provide that. All DMACC housing is privately owned and operated. Campus View Apartments Campus View student housing is located on the Ankeny Campus. Remodeled in 2011, Campus View offers furnished apartments and a variety of floor plans with a wealth of amenities, including a 42" flat panel TV, all appliances included, fitness center and game room plus 24-hour security. Each building has a Resident Assistant who manages the property and assists students. Campus View will even match students with roommates, much like on-campus college housing systems at four-year colleges. campusviewstudenthousing.com Proposed Apartment Living Area Prairie Pointe Located next door to the Ankeny Campus, Prairie Pointe was started in 2012 and offers 3- and 4-bedroom furnished apartments featuring private bedrooms, private bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and two refrigerators per unit. Each building also has a clubhouse hangout that includes a coffee bar, theater room, tanning booth and fitness center. prairiepointeliving.com Campus Town Campus Town is the newest housing option for Ankeny Campus students. Located nearby, with 1-, 2- or 3-bedroom luxury floor plans, Campus Town offers choices to fit many budgets and styles. In addition, Campus Town will have an active social scene with a 3,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art fitness club, theater room, comfy study rooms and a must-see rooftop terrace that offers beautiful views. The housing complex will even offer a free shuttle to and from the DMACC Campus. rentcampustown.com We re excited about the housing growth, said Linduska. Students will have many exciting choices to live on or near campus. The next step is for us to offer more extracurricular activities such as clubs and intramurals, social actives among others. 12
Boone Campus The Small College Feel with Big DMACC Advantages occupied. Lee says on-campus housing is a major attraction for Boone. When you take into consideration that we have athletics, housing and a strong student activities experience, we re a campus that offers students a full college experience. DMACC s new Honors Program has brought about 20 students to Boone, including the first two graduates from the program, both of whom went on to four-year universities. In 2012 the Boone Campus enhanced its smallcollege atmosphere with the addition of housing reserved for high academic achievers. Housing has become an integral part of Boone Campus, said Tom Lee, Boone Provost. This year we built a new building dedicated to our Honors Program. It has a different structure to it, a different floor plan than the others. We have a capacity for 32 students there. The Honors Program housing unit is the second housing structure added since Lee became Provost in 2005, giving the campus a total of five buildings that can house a total of more than 200 students. Together they are 95% Student Growth Increasing enrollment at Boone which has more than doubled since 2005 has created a need for more room. Between the Boone Campus and Hunziker Center (in Ames), we re tight for space, said Lee. We have 40 full-time faculty members and right now I m out of faculty offices. Space has become an issue. DMACC Boone and the Hunziker Center in Ames combined currently serve about 3,800 students. 13
Carroll Campus Building Economic and Cultural Connections Responding to Economic Adversity The Carroll Campus responded to two plant closures/layoffs in the region in 2012 by partnering with Iowa Workforce Development and Region XII Council of Governments to offer advising and access to basic welding training for individuals interested in acquiring welding skills. Carroll Campus continues to respond to industry demand for welders in Western Iowa by upgrading campus equipment and facilities. In 2012, 930 students completed 5,648 concurrent enrollment credits through the Carroll Campus. Courses taken included a mix of both career and technical programming and liberal arts courses. This is tremendous opportunity for high school students to experience firsthand the academic expectations of the college curriculum and ease the transition to postsecondary education. The Carroll Campus is also a vital contributor to the economic and cultural life of Western Iowa. Those ties were strengthened in 2012. Sharing the Love of Motion Pictures English Professor Dennis Thompson spearheaded the first annual Film Festival on campus in 2012. America at the Movies, a daylong film festival, was open to the public. Among the featured films was the Peach Patch, a 2009 movie filmed in Boone. Following the showing, one of the film s actors, Wes Worthing of Boone, talked with students about the making of the movie. Mr. Thompson s goals were to bring film more alive for the students and provide an educational and exciting event to enhance campus life. Nurturing Young Entrepreneurs In August, the Carroll Campus cosponsored a Youth Entrepreneur Academy with the North Central Iowa Small Business Development Center. Middle school students got a taste of basic business principles by creating and managing their own businesses, making key decisions such as selecting a product, creating a budget and developing a marketing plan. 14
Newton Campus New Space to Better Serve Students and the Community In 2012, DMACC s Newton Campus dedicated more physical space to academic support for students and also provided a venue for community social and business gatherings. Academic Achievement Center The Newton Campus Academic Achievement Center (AAC) expanded into a space formerly occupied by the Newton Public School s alternative high school that moved out in 2012. They vacated a wonderful space here on our campus that they had been in for 20-some years, and it provided us with a great opportunity to move what was a very tight, overcrowded, oneroom Academic Achievement Center into that larger area, said Mary Entz, Newton Provost. Conference Center The DMACC Newton Conference Center now offers the public an excellent space for meetings of all types, whether addressing stockholders, energizing employees, or uniting in holy matrimony. It s going very well, said Entz. We do a strong wedding business. We re working harder to market the center for conferences and business meetings. We ve been very pleased with the response so far. It's part of our growing service to students and the community, said Entz. Knoxville Responding to requests from community leaders, DMACC s Newton Campus assigned an advisor in Knoxville and expanded the number of DMACC courses offered in the city. Chantel Boyd started in July to help current and prospective students in the Knoxville area with financial aid, academic advising, exploring potential career paths and navigating the higher education process. She also works to increase awareness of DMACC s offerings and support the dialog between DMACC and Knoxville residents. DMACC s Knoxville office is in city hall. The new Newton Campus AAC now includes two smaller rooms for quiet study and rooms for students to work on group projects. A small computer and writing lab used to be housed in an instructor s office. Co-locating a lot of academic support services for students and providing a variety of spaces that allow students to interact with each other and faculty in different ways provides a much stronger academic support system on our campus, Entz said. 15
Urban Campus Leading the DMACC/Grinnell College Partnership Path of Peace To celebrate the DMACC Urban Campus s diversity and commitment to a world of peace, a 17-foot- all monument, called Path of Peace, was installed outside Building #3. DMACC s Urban Des Moines Campus was on the forefront of an agreement in 2012 that created a partnership between Iowa s largest community college with one of the state s most elite private colleges. Grinnell College and DMACC entered into an agreement to encourage qualified DMACC students to consider transferring to the national, private, four-year liberal arts college in Central Iowa. The 10-ton sculpture, created by Iowa Artist Ron Dinsdale, is made from Indiana Bedford limestone, the same material that was used to build the Iowa State Capitol Building more than 100 years ago. Path of Peace signifies three sculptured doves, forever turning to symbolize freedom and rights. Grinnell College President Raynard S. Kington and DMACC President Robert Denson signed the agreement at the DMACC Urban Campus in Des Moines. We have been looking for ways to encourage more Iowa students to consider Grinnell College, and we are particularly pleased to partner with DMACC to provide this opportunity to high-achieving students, said Kington. We recognize the importance of access to education and the need for students to achieve their academic potential, said Rob Denson DMACC President. Grinnell s reputation as a topranked educational institution means that DMACC students have a new path into one of the best four-year colleges in the nation. This agreement represents the first-ever partnership between Grinnell and a two-year college. 16
West Campus Encouraging Innovation, Enhancing Academics Steve Wozniak Headlines iweek Headlining iweek in 2012 was Steve Wozniak, cofounder of Apple Computer, known simply as The Woz to legions of Apple and technology fans. Tickets to Wozniak s presentation which were free and distributed online were snapped up in 10 minutes. We could have given out three times as many tickets, but were restricted by space limitations, said Paustian. The iweek event featured dozens of speakers, many nationally known along with successful local and regional innovators. DMACC s West Campus further solidified its reputation as a technology and innovation leader in 2012 by hosting The Woz, while also ramping up academic options there. Since 2010, West Campus has hosted Celebrate Innovation, or ciweek, featuring speakers and events designed to encourage students and the public to combine science with imagination and creativity. A common thread running through all of these presentations is innovation and imagination, West Campus Provost Tony Paustian said. Any challenge in any industry can be solved by using these two key ingredients. That s the message we want to leave with our students. Offering a Complete, Two-Year Degree West Campus also celebrated its 10th anniversary by converting a former computer lab into a biology and physics lab. The addition allows students to earn a two-year liberal arts and sciences degree without ever leaving West Campus, which leaders expect to increase enrollment. 17
DMACC Reaches South DMACC Center for Career and Professional Development at Southridge Plans for the new DMACC Center for Career and Professional Development at Southridge were unveiled during a news conference in the former J.C. Penneys building. It will bring an eclectic list of services and opportunities to Des Moines s south side. It s part of DMACC s latest major service expansion. The $10 million development will open in the fall of 2013. The south side of Des Moines is underserved, said Kim Linduska, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. We have a large, primarily Latino population there and large numbers of students who need English as a second language and GED courses, so in addition to the Career Academy for Warren County high school students, we ll offer a large GED/ESL basic skills program at Southridge. DMACC President Rob Denson said the 64,000-square-foot expansion created by the center will also help ease a space crunch caused by DMACC s growing enrollment. The Southridge Center will house: hhdmacc Business Resources (DBR) go.dmacc.edu/dbr/pages/welcome.aspx hhdmacc Continuing Education go.dmacc.edu/conteddesc/pages/welcome.aspx hhdmacc Success Center go.dmacc.edu/success/pages/welcome.aspx hhwarren County Career Academy go.dmacc.edu/southridge/pages/welcome.aspx The Academy is an extension of DMACC s Career Advantage Program that provides college credit and vocational training to high school students. DMACC Success Center Serving more than 5,000 students in 2012, the DMACC Success Center, located at 800 Porter Avenue in Des Moines, is a busy place day or night. The Center offers English as Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE) and Youth-at-Risk programs. And over the last several years, the DMACC Success Center has doubled the number of credit classes for those pursing a college degree. To address its expanding role, the Success Center will move to DMACC at Southridge this summer. The move creates more classroom and computer lab space, as well as study space and extra parking. 18
Ames Hunziker Center New Construction Project Planned DMACC s Hunziker Center opened its doors in 2006 to offer career and technical programs to Story County high school students and credit classes to those pursing a college degree. Since then, the 34,000-square-foot facility has doubled the number of credit classes and added new programs. As a result, plans were drawn up to add another 9,000 square feet of lab and classroom space on the second floor. Also, due to strong interests from the community and from ISU students, the Hunziker Center has doubled the number of credit courses this year. Perry VanKirk Career Academy Achieving Milestones DMACC s Perry VanKirk Career Academy earned the prestigious designation of being LEED Silver Certified based on several factors including location, water efficiency, materials and indoor environmental quality. The energy conservation measures added about $100,000 to the cost of the facility. However, the Perry Economic Development Corporation, builders of the Career Academy, decided it was an important investment. Osmundson Manufacturing Company Donation Osmundson Manufacturing Company of Perry donated more than 68,000 pounds of steel to DMACC s Welding Program at the Perry VanKirk Career Academy, and the Ankeny and Newton Campuses. The generous donation allows the DMACC Welding Department to drastically reduce the amount of money it spends buying steel. The donation also allows students to gain valuable experience. Osmundson Manufacturing Company has been making farming tools in Perry since 1903. The company specializes in tillage tools. 19
Online Learning Technology Shrinks Time & Distance Online courses at DMACC have grown steadily as well, at a rate of about 4% to 5% per year. By the end of 2012, more than 500 classes, or 18% of DMACC courses, were online. Many are entirely online. The most popular offering is the "hybrid courses that combine online study and in-person classes. Typically, theory and lecture will be online in the form of video and text, and hands-on, practical skills and discussion happens in the classroom. Online courses are also offered as concurrent enrollment options for students in more and more Central Iowa high schools. "We have an online career academy, said Mark Steffen, Executive Director of Program Development, who oversees online learning. It s gone from 300 students consistently over a period of two or three years, then it jumped to 400, and then to 500, and now we re up by more than 600 students. In a bit of irony, one of DMACC s main technology tools is named after something once ubiquitous in the classrooms but now increasingly rare. "Blackboard is the name of a technology platform that creates an online space for everything from video to assignments associated with a course offering. Blackboard usage by DMACC faculty to enhance both online and in-person classes has grown steadily. Nearly 60 percent of DMACC teachers now use Blackboard in their classes. Steffen said a big challenge is keeping up with the rapidly developing web-based teaching tools. He credited a core group of faculty who are interested in high-tech teaching tools with playing a big role in keeping DMACC aware of the latest developments. 20
Career Advantage Helping High School Students Explore Careers Dr. Randy Mead, Executive Dean for Program Development who oversees Career Advantage, said there is new interest from school districts in Waukee and Pella to construct career academies there. These academies would be built and operated by each school district. DMACC would provide the curriculum support to ensure the course offerings qualified for DMACC credit. Thanks to the DMACC Career Advantage program, 11,496 high school students in 54 school districts earned college credits while exploring post-high school careers in 2012 free of charge to the students. The DMACC Career Advantage program, which works with Central Iowa high schools to offer DMACC courses to students primarily in their junior and senior year, has posted impressive growth since its inception in 1999. The number of students served has grown 51 percent since 2007, while the number of credits is up 75 percent during the same period. Career Advantage includes the operation of DMACC s Career Academies: hhankeny, Newton and Carroll Campuses hhhunziker Career Academy in Ames hhvankirk Career Academy in Perry hhdmacc Success Center in Des Moines Creating a career academy is a process that involves a great deal of discussion between DMACC and the schools that will benefit from the center, Mead said. Typically, first the school districts look to us for advice on what programs really run well in these settings, he said. Then they often survey students to see what kind of interest there is in various programs. Then we come together and talk about costs and levels of enrollment support needed to make it work." Career Advantage is also in the process of improving communication, coordination and collaboration between high school teachers who deliver DMACC credit classes and DMACC administration and faculty. That effort often benefits the high school faculty with increased training opportunities. DMACC benefits as well from high school teachers ideas and input into curriculum and teaching methods. The Success Center will soon move to the new DMACC Center for Career and Professional Development at Southridge Mall. There are also many DMACC credit classes that are offered within participating high schools, both in traditional classroom settings and online. 21
Continuing Education Helping Iowans Update Their Workplace Skills DMACC s welding training is a good example. Entry-level manufacturing welding, known as MIG welding, can be learned in a 15-week certificate course. Once certified students find a MIG welding job, they can continue to take for-credit welding courses (often part-time while they work) to learn more advanced welding skills that let them grow in their new career. DMACC s Continuing Education department serves some 35,000 to 40,000 individuals each year. Besides helping Iowans keep their work skills current, the department is increasingly providing technical training for unemployed workers. Groups or a company will approach us and say we need entry-level employees to fill this hiring pipeline, said Jane Herrmann, Executive Director of DMACC Continuing Education. We meet with the leaders of those groups or businesses to assess what skills they want addressed for this entry-level training. Then we oversee development of the curriculum and content that delivers those entry-level skills. We also work cooperatively with DMACC s faculty so that this noncredit, certificate training can often develop into a career path. Herrmann estimated that accounts for about 25 percent of what DMACC Continuing Ed does annually. Demand continues to grow. The department also provides Continuing Education Unit (CEU) courses that are mandatory to maintain licensure in areas such as nursing and many others. Continuing Ed also responds to the needs of the community and Iowa Legislature mandates for training. Examples include state-mandated training for used automobile salespersons, a pilot project in Polk County for training bar bouncers and court-ordered training for offenders. We also work cooperatively with DMACC s faculty so that this noncredit, certificate training can often develop into a career path. 22

Community and Workforce Partnerships Collaboration that Empowers Self-Sufficiency DMACC Community and Workforce Partnerships (CWP) is making a difference in the lives of disadvantaged youth and unemployed and underemployed adults in Central Iowa. In 2012, CWP added a new program and moved into the new Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families, both of which should help enhance their ability to serve a wide array of communities. Innovative Strategies for Increasing Self-Sufficiency (ISIS) ISIS is a major national assignment study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and follows a career pathways model for increasing the economic selfsufficiency of low-income individuals and families. Its central thesis is that postsecondary training should be organized as a series of manageable and well-articulated steps, accompanied by strong supports and connections to employment. One of the career pathways being evaluated by ISIS is DMACC s Prepared Learner Program. It helps lowincome students with adult literacy rates between 6th and 8th grade to improve their basic education and/or earn a GED and subsequently qualify for job skills training through the DMACC Workforce Training Academy. Support services include active advising, transportation support, financial literacy training and benefits acquisition assistance. Moving into a Permanent Home In August, the CWP moved into the Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families at 801 University Avenue in Des Moines after more than two years in temporary quarters. The Davis Center also houses offices for many of the agencies DMACC partners with to serve its target populations. Dr. Mary Chapman, Vice President of DMACC s Community and Workforce Partnerships, said being co-located with many partners increases efficiency in communication and collaboration and makes it much more convenient for the individuals being served. Now in its ninth year, the CWP has served more than 2,500 students in three broad areas: hhhigh School Completion hhworkforce Readiness hhcollege Connection Among the groups Community and Workforce Partnerships serves are: hhyouth in foster care hhat-risk high school students hhdropouts and youth with incarcerated parents hhadult groups include immigrants, unemployed or dislocated workers, low-income, minorities and ex-offenders. 24
Community and Workforce Partnerships Collaboration that Empowers Self-Sufficiency In 2012, the CWP devoted more resources to focusing on aged-out foster care youth. Persistence and retention rates for credit students have averaged 83 percent and 94 percent, respectively. Youth programs include Construction Prep Alliance. YouthBuild is a seven-month program for 18 24 year olds that combines academic instruction, workplace etiquette and construction training in order to help young adults become more employable. Workforce Training Academy connects the unemployed or underemployed with the education and job skill training needed to fill high-growth, high-demand jobs in the area. Youth Build white logo Youth Build Youth Build Gateway to College is a scholarship program that gives students who are behind in high school credits or at risk for dropping out the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and college credit at DMACC. 801 University Ave. EVELYN K. DAVIS CENTER FOR Des Moines, Iowa 50314 WORKING FAMILIES A new Gateway to Opportunities The Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families opened its doors in August to serve at-risk youth and unemployed or underemployed adult workers. The Center will provide career and skills assessment, educational opportunities matched with on-the-job training by delivering enhanced services and supplemental support and other workforce services such as direct placement assistance and training. The Evelyn K. Davis Center for Working Families represents a truly collaborative project with community leaders, residents and businesses rallying behind an effort that will improve the quality of lives and have significant impact in the heart of Des Moines, says the Center s Operations Manager, Marvin DeJear. 25
athletics Building College Athletes for the Next Level
Athletics Building College Athletes for the Next Level We want players to go to that next level and have success there and in life. Boone Campus Provost Tom Lee credits athletic director Orv Salmon with doing a great job of getting the right people as head coaches for our athletic teams. Those coaches are here for the right reasons. They are here not only to win games but here to make sure they are doing what s right for our students. Like all of their peers, DMACC coaches focus on helping student athletes build skills in their sport with the goal of winning intercollegiate contests. But the coaches also encourage student athletes to have strong character and grow their academic skills as well. Women s Basketball Head Coach Steve Krafcisin said all DMACC coaches enjoy using contacts built throughout their career in collegiate athletics to help DMACC students find a fouryear school that fits their academic interests and athletic abilities. I send mass emails... I send individual emails. We send out video. I make phone calls every day to other coaches, saying What are you looking for? Here s who we have. You should come see this player or come see our team, said Krafcisin. It s really our goal to get the right school for each individual player. We want players to go to that next level and have success there and in life. But, no matter where our players go, they will enjoy their experience, whether that s at the NAIA level or NCAA Division II or Division I. We want to make sure it s the right fit for them.

Building 14 DMACC Is Like Family for Taylor Rob & Christi Taylor DMACC is something Christi and I are passionate about... We truly believe it makes our community stronger. For about as long as he can remember, Rob Taylor has been a member of the DMACC family. Taylor s father, Bob, was a longtime diesel instructor, and administrator, and Rob grew up around what he affectionately refers to as Building 14 the building on the Ankeny Campus that houses the Diesel Mechanics program. He says all that time wandering through the shops made DMACC an easy choice when he was old enough to go to college. 32
Building 14 DMACC Is Like Family for Taylor "I chose DMACC because it was my family, he says, looking back. Rob holds an Associate s degree from DMACC, a Bachelor s degree from Upper Iowa University and a Master s degree from William Penn University. I knew DMACC was a great school and I knew that with an affordable two-year degree I d easily be able to transfer to any four-year college. Following in the footsteps of his father, Rob began work in the automotive industry even before attending DMACC. Those early years, combined with the knowledge he gained at DMACC and beyond, have led to a successful career as an ASE-Certified auto technician, a preventive maintenance trainer, a consultant and the Sales Director for automotive preventive maintenance company BG Products/Beller Distributing of Iowa. And that s not all. Rob is also an adjunct instructor at DMACC. He regularly subs in the automotive program and offers an automotive service fundamentals class that teaches the skills necessary to be a successful Service Advisor and Service Manager. The course is offered as a continuing education opportunity for students and professionals and is held one evening a week for five weeks. I see the need for technicians and auto service professionals out there, Rob says. There is a shortage and DMACC does a great job of preparing students to step right in and contribute to a business in the real world. I wanted to be a part of that. Rob is not only a part of automotive program as an instructor, he is a financial supporter. He and his wife, Christi, recently established an endowment with the goal of providing two $500 scholarships per year to students in financial need in the automotive program. "I donate all my wages as an instructor back to the scholarship fund we have set up for the automotive students, Rob says. DMACC gave me a great opportunity when I went through the program and I want to give back. "It is great to have someone like Rob, who is tied to the industry, so engaged in our program, says Jerry Burns, automotive program chair. "The value he brings goes far beyond just what he does for the program as an instructor and a member of the advisory board. His financial support is critical to helping students in need. For some of them, that support means the difference between being able to attend DMACC and gaining a valuable skill or not. "I really believe in providing private support for our public institutions, says Rob, who was recently elected to the Iowa House District 44 seat. In central Iowa, we live in one of the most generous areas of the United States. It is important for us to provide support for institutions like DMACC that are preparing the next generation to lead. "DMACC is something Christi and I are passionate about, he continues. We truly believe it makes our community stronger. 33
