A Letter from the President
Dear SFCC family and friends,
When I took office 18 months ago as State
Fair Community College’s
fourth president, the mantra
for my presidency was,
“Shape the Future. Together.”
Living up to that slogan has
required a lot of listening and
a lot of learning. What a busy,
interesting time it’s been!
If I were to change anything
about that mantra now, it
would be to say, “Shape Our
Future. Together,” with ‘Our’

educational organizations from kindergarten through four-year colleges. We already
have several wonderful partnerships, but
we need more like these:
• Our partnership with local
and area hospitals helped us
get our radiologic technology
program in place.
• Our partnership with
Whiteman Air Force Base
enables students there to
earn associate of arts
degrees from State Fair
Community College.
The majority of our graduates go on to
CMSU; this will simply start that process
earlier and provide students on both
campuses with more opportunities.
We’d like to see more of these types of
partnerships, so that they become what we
are about and who we are. We want
people to think of SFCC as a catalyst for
positive growth and development in their
communities.
In our community meetings, people are
positive and upbeat about what the college
does. However, there is a huge contingent
that doesn’t know who we are. We have
recently made two major changes to help
get our message across: we’ve adopted a
new logo and created a new Web site.

Science/Allied Health Center on Tap
S
tate Fair Community College hopes to
build a new Science and Allied Health
Center to ease overcrowding and
create new science labs to meet the need
for trained allied health graduates.
The board of trustees has approved part
one of a proposed three-part project to
renovate the Yeater Learning Center and
build a two-story, 42,000-square-foot
Science and Allied Health Center. The new
building will connect the Yeater Learning
Center and the Fielding Technical Center.
Cramped classrooms, outdated science
labs, inadequate storage space and an
antiquated heating and cooling system
signal a long-overdue facelift for Yeater
and a need for more space, says Keith
Swanson, dean of Academic Affairs.
Phase I—Begin Yeater remodeling
“The Yeater Center is nearly 30 years old,”
he says. “Its heating/cooling system is
antiquated. Phase one will be to close
down the instructional halls on the north
and east wings this summer and install
new heating and cooling. We’ll replace
boilers, chillers, and ductwork; give the
classrooms and hallways a facelift; and
install new wiring and cabling to support
multimedia classrooms at a later date.”
Renovation on the south and west wings of
the building can’t be done at the same time
because the building can’t be vacated;
classrooms have a 95 percent occupancy
rate from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday
through Friday, says Swanson.
“We can’t shut the rest of the building
down because there’s no place on campus
to put those students, and no place to put
the additional classes we need,” he says.
Phase II—New science/health center
Construction of a new academic building,
complete with up to six state-of-the-art
science labs and additional classroom
space would come next, says Swanson.
Target date to open is fall 2007.
“The science labs in the Yeater Learning

Center are in dire need of upgrading,” he
says. “They lack proper ventilation hoods,
incubators for crucial biotechnology
experiments, and even rudimentary
equipment. Gas lines to the labs don’t
work, so it’s impossible to maintain
controlled temperatures for experiments.
“Flexible scheduling is impossible; there’s
inadequate storage, preparation, and lab
space,” says Swanson. “Setting up
multiple labs at once is futile. A chemistry
lab needs to be dedicated to chemistry;
trying to follow a chemistry lab at 8 a.m.
with a biology lab at 10 a.m. creates chaos
and frustration. Students are crammed on
top of each other trying to get out of one
class into another. There’s no time or room
for changeover. When the building was
built, we had about 1,000 students and few
science classes. Now we have more than
2,300 students on campus.”
SFCC also must meet the rapidly expanding need for more allied health classes
such as anatomy and physiology, says
SFCC President Dr. Marsha Drennon.
“One of the greatest needs in our community is for allied health workers,” says
Drennon. “We could graduate twice the
number we do if we had adequate facilities. Our ability to recruit faculty into those
programs also is limited without enough
science labs. New, modern classroom
space will enable SFCC to train and
graduate students in math, science, allied
health and technology programs.”
Phase III—Complete Yeater remodeling
Once the science center opens, the rest of
Yeater’s occupants—including the library,
adult and developmental education
programs, and others—could be temporarily reassigned to the new building so the
south and west wings could be renovated.
“That also will allow us to open up the
south side of campus, creating a second
‘front door,’” says Swanson.
Cost of the total project is estimated at
between $10 and $11 million, says Mary
McIntosh, vice president for Institutional
Advancement.
“We’ll be looking at a configuration of
funding opportunities, both public and
private, to address these needs,” she
says. ■
OFFICE OF INSTITUTIONAL
ADVANCEMENT
T
he State Fair Community College
Foundation has come a long way in
its 20 years of existence, and no one
appreciates it more than the students who
continue to benefit from its generosity.
After two decades, the Foundation is
growing strong, says Mary McIntosh, vice
president for Institutional Advancement.
Indeed, it all began with a single gift.
In the early 1980s, Sedalian J. Higdon
Potter and his wife Bernice gave SFCC
$2,000. It was a gift from their hearts, and
it carried with it a pledge and a promise.
The pledge? To continue supporting
SFCC. The promise? To help the college
help itself by creating a visionary vehicle
for fund raising and development.
That vehicle became the J. Higdon Potter
Educational Foundation, incorporated in
1981. Today, more than two decades later,
the SFCC Foundation has almost $6
million in endowed assets.
“The generosity of the patrons of this
district has been exceptional,” says
McIntosh. Because of ongoing support, the
Foundation has been able to:
• Provide scholarships for almost 800
students. In 2004 alone, students
received more than $69,700 in
scholarship funds.
• Facilitate construction of four buildings
• Resurface the walking track
• Provide $16,000 annually for professional faculty and staff development.
Foundation Marks 20 Years
Scholarship to Honor Memory of Son
On May 14, 2003,
the last day of his
freshman year at
SFCC,
19-year-old Troy
Cooley was killed
in a car accident.
His parents,
Frank and Jane
Cooley, recently

wanted a way
to remember

students

educational
goals at the

The family has
asked that
scholarship recipients be enrolled in
welding or ag-related courses, both
interests of their son, and maintain a
2.5 GPA.
“There was just something about him,”
says his mom. “He usually had a pretty
upbeat attitude about most things, and
he could relate to just about anybody.
We thought he was getting a good
“Few people knew it, but Troy had a
learning disability and was still at the top
of his class,” says his mom. “If somebody else is willing to work that hard, we
want to be able to help them.” ■
In 1987, the Foundation expanded the
number of seats on the board to 25 and
began fund raising in earnest. Several
milestones in its history contributed
significantly to its success:
• In 1988, the college received a bequest
of $638,000 from the estate of Duane
and Beulah Ewing to be used for
agriculture scholarships.
When Potter died in 1983, he left his wife a
200-acre farm to be given to the Foundation when she died. Mrs. Potter chose to
give the farm to SFCC immediately to use
in the college agriculture program.
• In 1989, SFCC received an unrestricted
gift of $400,000 from the estate of
Mildred Goddard, for whom the
Goddard Gallery later was named.
In 1984 SFCC appointed its first director of
development. In 1985 an official Office of
Development was established with funds
from a Title III grant awarded by the U.S.
Department of Education.
• In 1992, the college received a
$3 million bequest from the estate of Dr.
C. Gordon and Lucille Stauffacher to
construct a fine arts center. The
Stauffacher Center for the Fine Arts
opened in 1994.
• In 1995 the Potter-Ewing Agriculture
building was dedicated.
“As we look to the future, we will continue
to try to increase our scholarship endowment to enable us aid more students,”
says McIntosh. “We also will help garner
public and private support for any construction projects that might be planned,
such as the Science and Allied Health
Center.” (see page 2)
Donations to existing endowed funds and
scholarship funds are welcome. Gifts given
in honor of or in memory of friends and
loved ones will keep giving in perpetuity.
“Making a planned gift to benefit SFCC or
funding an endowed scholarship is one of
the most important gifts you’ll ever give,”
she says. ■

Although she is proud of the site’s
bright, inviting design, the information
that’s now available online and the

Bob Paulson, chief information officer for
SFCC’s Educational Technology Services,
says the biggest improvement in the site is
its consistency.
“The old site was put together by different
people in different pieces; it was not
unified,” he says. “Now, each academic
department posts its own content following

1,352.8 miles. First-place “losers” were
team members from Memorial Park

Together they lost 94 pounds. The secondplace team lost almost 83 pounds.
The “Energizer Bunnies” were regulars,
along with the “Walking Wonders,” the
“Walking Wizards” and the “Prima Donna

“Queen Bees” and “Dead Weight” hiked
the tenth-of-a-mile oval almost daily.
These folks and others—a whopping 364
in all—were participants in the Sedalia
Fitness Challenge sponsored by the
multipurpose staff at SFCC. Its goal? To
motivate people to be more active—and
to lose weight, if they wanted.
The challenge was such a success that a
sequel is planned for 2005, says Page.
“Our second annual Fitness Challenge is
set to kick off Jan. 10,” she says. “We’re

SFCC-Camdenton to Offer A.A. Degree
L
ake of the Ozarks residents can now
earn a degree from State Fair
Community College right in their own
back yards.
Missouri’s Coordinating Board for Higher
Education in October authorized SFCC to
offer an associate of arts degree in general
studies at its extended campus site in
Camdenton.
Students will be able to complete A.A.
degrees in the lake area rather than
traveling to Sedalia. The 64 credit hours
required will be available through classroom, ITV and online instruction.
SFCC also hopes to move its Camdenton
campus this summer to a new site in a
central location, vacating the space it has
occupied in the Lake Area Career Technical Center on the Camdenton R-III school
district campus, says Deborah DeGanDixon, dean of Extended Campus.
Having more classroom space will enable
the college to expand its operation, offering
more daytime and evening courses.
“We’ve always had a great relationship
with the Camdenton school district and
hope to continue our partnership,” she
says. “We will continue to offer dual credit
and college credit in the high school, and
hope to use the articulation agreements
we have with the technical center so
students can have a seamless transition
from high school to college and can take
credits with them as they come to SFCC.”
A continuing presence
Jim Dinsdale, Camdenton site coordinator,
said SFCC has had a continuing presence
in the Camdenton community for more
than 21 years.
“SFCC began offering classes in
Camdenton in 1983 through Camdenton
school district’s adult and community
education division, and in 1998 named
Camdenton an official extended campus
site,” he says. “Now we offer everything
from general education to technical
6
classes and have 80 to
100 students. We’ve
had several graduate
from SFCC by taking
the majority of their
classes in Camdenton.
“It will be so much
easier now to take all
their classes here,” says
Dinsdale. “SFCC is a
great value for area
students. Classes are
small; teachers are
local; and the prices are
the best in the area.
When the folks at SFCC
say, ‘We’re here for
you!’ they mean it.”
From left, Janice Ganther, SFCC-Camdenton administrative
assistant; Jim Dinsdale, SFCC-Camdenton site coordinator;
Dr. Marsha Drennon, SFCC president; and Dr. John Bell,
SFCC Extended Campus director.
Being able to earn an
A.A. degree from SFCCCamdenton doesn’t limit
students to taking classes only at that site,
said DeGan-Dixon; it actually gives
students even more flexibility.
A combo of classes
“In the past, students could take all but 12
hours at the Camdenton campus, but had
to take the final 12 credits from the Sedalia
campus to be granted a degree,” she says.
“Now they can take credits from one or a
combination of SFCC campuses, but can
complete their degrees at SFCC-Sedalia,
SFCC-Camdenton or online. It’s a huge
advantage for folks in the lake area.”
Dr. John Bell, director of Extended
Campus for SFCC, said the college’s new
degree program and impending move offer
a fantastic opportunity for students.
“Students from Camdenton, Eldon,
Versailles and Jefferson City who are part
of the A+ scholarship program can use
their scholarships while staying close to
home,” he said. “We look forward to
serving not only recent high school
graduates, but also the nontraditional adult
population looking to upgrade skills in
certain areas once we get more technical
programs up and running.”
Ron Hendrix, superintendent of the
Camdenton R-III school district, said SFCC
has provided great opportunities for
students who couldn’t afford to go to a
four-year institution or drive long distances
to further their educations.
DeGan-Dixon said SFCC has experienced
tremendous support in the area through
advisory group meetings and conversations with area residents.
‘We continue to listen’
“Early on we invited every individual and
organization who was interested in
assisting us in any way to be a part of the
planning process as we expand programming over the next year,” she said. “We
continue to listen as they give us insight on
demographics and needs in the area and
help us determine what our expansion
effort will be.”

SFCC: Economic Impact Adds Up
S
tate Fair Community College contributes more than $11.4 million annually
in earnings to the area economy,
according to a landmark economic impact
study released in 2004.
The study was commissioned by SFCC
and completed by CC
Benefits, Inc., as part of an
examination of all 12 state
community colleges. It
shows:
• The college pays $11.4
million annually in salaries
and benefits, and accounts
for an additional $71.3
million in off-campus
earnings throughout its 14county service area. That
amounts to 3,351 jobs with a total
economic impact of $82.7 million.
• In what is called a “ripple effect,” SFCC’s
payroll generates an additional $15.3
million, or 789 more jobs.
• Local and state governments invested
$7.5 million in tax dollars in SFCC during
2003, the year of the study. The taxpayers’
rate of return was 14.5 percent. Every
dollar of state and local tax money
invested in SFCC today will return $2.36
over the next eight and a half years.
• For every education dollar a student
spends at SFCC, the student gets $7.56
back in the form of
higher earnings over the
next 30 years.
• The college saves the
state $2.2 million
annually in reduced
welfare and unemployment and lowered
crime.
SFCC President Dr.
Marsha Drennon says
the college’s economic impact on the
community—and on each individual
student’s earning potential—is significant.
“After leaving college, the majority of
SFCC graduates stay in the area in the
work force an average of 35 years,” she
says. “The study shows that a student who
leaves with a two-year college degree will
earn $320,819 more than someone with a
high school diploma or GED. An investment in SFCC is truly an investment in our
surrounding community and in our future.
What’s more, SFCC continues to repay
taxpayers year after year because our
graduates continue to live, work and pay
taxes in Missouri.”
SFCC students receive an above-average
return on their educational investment,
adds Drennon, a direct result of the college
striving to keep tuition as low as possible.
Overall, business sales in the SFCC
service area are $191 million greater, and
labor income is $83 million greater, due to
the past and present operations of SFCC,
according to the study.
“SFCC’s economic impact on the community is like a three-legged stool,” says
Drennon. “Our mission is certainly educating students, but we also promote economic development and train our
workforce. What we do translates into
added earning potential for our graduates
job and investment opportunities, increased business revenues, greater
availability of public funds, and an eased
tax burden.” ■

Family members are celebrating the 65th
birthday of “Big Daddy,” as they sentimentally dub him. Although the tone is gay, the
mood is somber as they ignore the truths
that surround them—sins of the past, and
greedy hopes for the future. This drama is

More Activities Enrich Campus Life
D
uct tape, cans of soup and a desire
to raise awareness about hunger
and homelessness brought a
cardboard community to life this fall on the
SFCC campus.
More than 50 students, faculty, and
community members participated in an allnight event Oct. 15 called “Shanty Town.”
They built shelters out of cardboard,
shared a soup supper, heard speakers,
and collected cash and food donations.
Many then slept outdoors in shelters for
much of the rainy, 40-degree night.
“It was all about the
experience,” says Mindy
Maddux, director of
Residential Life and
Campus Activities and
Student Government
Association sponsor. “We
wanted to stop our busy
world long enough to focus Mindy Maddux
on something as important
as area hunger and homelessness.”
Shanty Town was just one of many
activities last fall designed to enrich
student life, share information, and have
fun along the way. This year Maddux has
help; two graduate assistants are working
with her part-time to re-energize the
program and expand activities.
“What’s easy are the really fun, social
things,” says Maddux. “When we can do
things that are both fun and educational,
it’s an added bonus.” Other activities:
• Student Activities Fair—This first-time
event Aug. 25 was designed to get new
students involved in clubs and organizations from the beginning. Studies
show if students feel engaged and part
of the institution the first six weeks of
school, they’re more likely to complete
a degree, says Maddux.
• Roadrunner Roast—Music, free lunch,
carnival events and entertainment were
on the menu for the annual fall student
appreciation day Oct. 20.

Campus Activities
Clockwise, from top: Students build shelters at Shanty Town; a simulated car crash during
Alcohol Awareness Week; Dental Hygiene students staff an information booth at the Student Activities Fair.
• Alcohol Awareness Week—“Put a
Cork in It” was the theme of SFCC’s
second alcohol awareness week Oct.
23-29. A car crash simulation, speakers
and other daily activities focused on the
dangers of alcohol consumption and
alternatives to drinking.
• Halloween Safe House and Haunted
Hayride—More than 200 elementaryage kids showed up for the Residence
Hall Advisory Council’s free Halloween
Safe House Oct. 31. The event featured
20 trick-or-treat stations, fun activities
and snacks. Although hayrides offered
by students in the Horticulture, Agriculture and CAT Ag clubs were sabotaged
by mud, the first two rides were great!
• Nontraditional Student Week — The
first-ever SFCC event included information booths, a luncheon with SFCC
President Dr. Marsha Drennon, an
essay contest, seminars, focus groups,
and free tickets to athletic events.
“We’ve had an exciting year,” says
Maddux. “I’m so impressed at how giving
and supportive this community is toward
the students and the college. I’m consistently amazed; people call and show up to
help without ever being asked.”
Plans for next semester include a student
leadership retreat Jan. 21; Homecoming
Week Feb. 14-19; Wellness Week March
7-11; and Spring Fling April 13. ■
