Mission:
Securing
the Community
Police, fire and emergency medical personnel
have a new resource at their disposal with the
opening of the Owens Community College Center
for Emergency Preparedness. Located on 110
sprawling acres, this regional facility provides an
area for first responders to practice rescue and
recovery maneuvers on full-size training props
in a controlled environment.
“The mission of the Center for Emergency
Preparedness is to provide first responders and
students with training opportunities that support
classroom learning through the use of state-ofthe-art educational resources,” said Wayne Seely,
Assistant Professor of Law Enforcement.
Wayne Seely
Nearly 1,000 students trained at the facility from
June 1 to November 30. The students represented
20 agencies, including the U.S. Dept. of Health
and Human Services (Chicago office), the National
Guard Military Police Unit (Toledo) and the City of
Findlay Fire Department.
The Center For Emergency
Preparedness Includes:
• A gas station training prop
The multi-million dollar facility can provide a full
array of training situations thanks to its multitude
of training props. In addition to a mock city
comprised of prefabricated buildings, the facility
includes a gas station training prop, a railroad
tank car fire trainer, a tractor-trailer tanker fire
trainer and an aircraft fire prop, among others.
The facility will also include an emergency
operations center with classrooms and
laboratories and a maintenance/storage facility.
Over the next decade, the need for professionals
trained to handle emergency situations is expected
to grow by up to 25 percent. The $20.5 million
Center for Emergency Preparedness will provide
training to help first responders meet this increase.

The facility’s donated FedEx Boeing 727 aircraft prop allows first responders
to conduct realistic, hands-on training in scenarios ranging from bomb and
drug searches to hazardous material emergencies and hostage situations.

Mission:
Advancing
Community
Education
We built it; they came. Since the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new
Community Education and Wellness Center on the Findlay-area Campus in
March, companies are looking to Owens more than ever for their event needs.
One company, Ball Corporation, has already held several events, including
a corporate conference, at the new center.
“We were one of the first companies to use the Center,” said Tom Martin,
Plant Manager at Ball Corporation. “The business community has
benefited from this investment.”
In addition to the Environmental, Health and Safety Conference, during

The grand opening of the Community Education and Wellness Center was a perfect time to showcase the exciting features of the new facility.
The shop bays feature state-of-the-art technology for hands-on learning. The two classrooms are equipped with innovative computer and
multimedia capability, as well as network and Internet access. The computer laboratories have the latest in computing resources for business
and industry training instruction. The Multipurpose Room can accommodate more than 1,300 people and features on-site catering and the
latest in innovative computer, lighting and multimedia capability. And the Wellness Center serves as a multipurpose cardiovascular and fitness
area for students, employees, alumni and community members.

The $4.2 million, 24,772 square-foot facility
houses two shop bays, two computer laboratories,
two traditional classrooms, a tiered classroom, a
Multipurpose Room and a Wellness Center – all
with WiFi.
“We have a mission to provide education to
the entire community,” says Steve Hillard,
Director of Community and Corporate
Education. “This building has amazing
potential for corporate education, training
and community events.”
Wireless Internet service allows clients to use
laptops in conjunction with the material being
presented during their training sessions, a bonus
feature many businesses are looking for.
Approximately 30 training events were held
at the Center in 2007, including events for
Whirlpool and Cooper Tire. Nearly 1,000
students participated in these events.

Mission:
Involving Students
With more than 50 clubs and organizations and seven Ohio Community
College Athletic Conference sports, Owens has an extra-curricular activity
for almost every student.
And if a student can’t find a group they are interested in, new clubs
are forming all the time. Nine new clubs started up in 2007 alone.
“Owens offers a wide range of clubs and organizations in health
technology, education, activities, honor societies and special interest
areas, so there is something for everyone,” said John Byers, Student
Activities Coordinator.

Juggling school, work, families and extra activities isn’t always easy, but Byers
says the reward is worth it. “The clubs and organizations at Owens offer
students a great opportunity to be able to meet new friends, network
within the College community, and develop a
multitude of leadership skills,” said Byers.
In addition to meeting people, building leadership
skills and staying active, participating allows
students to give back to the community. Every
year, Owens clubs, teams and organizations raise
thousands of dollars and volunteer hundreds of
hours for local causes.
In 2007, almost every organization gave back to
the community in some way. Student Government
volunteered at WTOL 11 on Election Night,
registered more than 50 students to vote and
raised money for Relay for Life and Make-A-Wish.
The Health Information Technology Student
Association, the Student Association for Young
Children, the Student Physical Therapist Assistant
Organization and the Student Nurses Association
collected toiletries, clothes and toys for various
organizations. And the Owens Environmental
Club, the Black Student Union and Students
Involved held other fundraisers. The athletic
teams also got on board with several of the teams
volunteering their time and collecting items for
local organizations.
“Participating in a club or organization or on a
team gives students the opportunity to connect to
the community at-large, helping various charities
and outreach programs that the students have
a passion for,” Byers said. “It’s a win-win for
students and the community as both gain valuable
resources. Students get to experience the joy in
the gift of service to these charitable organizations
while at the same time developing their own
unique leadership style.”

year, Owens clubs, teams and organizations raise
thousands of dollars and volunteer hundreds of
hours for local causes.
In 2007, almost every organization gave back to
the community in some way. Student Government
volunteered at WTOL 11 on Election Night,
registered more than 50 students to vote and
raised money for Relay for Life and Make-A-Wish.
The Health Information Technology Student
Association, the Student Association for Young
Children, the Student Physical Therapist Assistant
Organization and the Student Nurses Association
collected toiletries, clothes and toys for various
organizations. And the Owens Environmental
Club, the Black Student Union and Students
Involved held other fundraisers. The athletic
teams also got on board with several of the teams
volunteering their time and collecting items for
local organizations.
“Participating in a club or organization or on a
team gives students the opportunity to connect to
the community at-large, helping various charities
and outreach programs that the students have
a passion for,” Byers said. “It’s a win-win for
students and the community as both gain valuable
resources. Students get to experience the joy in
the gift of service to these charitable organizations
while at the same time developing their own
unique leadership style.”

While studying abroad in Eastern Europe, Matt
Gall expected to expand upon the skills he would
need for a career in government or international
relations. Instead, he made a life-altering decision.
“For me, the food in Europe was just as memorable
as seeing all the sights,” Gall said. “At that point,
I finally figured out that cooking was my mission
in life. It was something I truly enjoyed and wanted
to keep doing.”
So he completed his bachelor’s degree in
International Studies at Miami University,
but instead of working for the government
after graduation, the Toledo native registered
for culinary arts classes at Owens.
Matthew Gall

Now in his last semester of classes, Gall is excited
to become a chef. He said this excitement is
something he didn’t feel as he was about to
receive his International Studies degree.
Owens Community College continues to offer products students want, evidenced by a record 20,425
students enrolling in Fall 2007, surpassing the previous record of 20,406 from Fall 2005. Owens offers
more than 130 associate degree programs and career certifications, workforce training and continuing
education at multiple locations.

“As I got closer to graduating with my bachelor’s
degree, I grew less and less interested in pursuing
a career in government or international relations,”
he said. “I was always interested in other countries
and learning about other cultures, but I figured
out that the one thing I liked about other cultures
was the cuisine.”
Gall was one of a record-number of students at
Owens in 2007. Fall semester enrollment was up
6.9 percent from Fall 2006 and spring semester
enrollment was up 3.9 percent from Spring 2006.
Several of those students, like Gall, are coming to
Owens for a career change.
“If anyone is considering a change of careers,
I’d suggest they make sure it is something they
are passionate about and willing to work hard
for,” Gall said. “Having the support of important
people in your life is a major help as well.
Overall, if it is something you want, go for it.”

Supporting
our Students
Since receiving a $1.7 million grant from the U.S.
Department of Postsecondary Education to enhance and
foster student success, Owens Community College has
spent the better part of 2007 developing a staggering
student success plan.
Part of that plan includes the implementation of the
electronic portfolio project, which allows students to
store papers, photos, video clips and other items in an
electronic format.
“In addition, the e-portfolio will allow students to showcase
projects and activities that are of particular interest to
future employers,” said Mindy Gray, instructor of the
pilot study course.
Gray added that the e-portfolio project has received
much recognition not only in the state of Ohio, but
also nationally.
Other milestones in the student success initiative
include becoming a Foundations of Excellence school
and developing a new program expected to serve
2,500 students in the coming year.
“In total, by Fall 2007, this program involved
at least 120 faculty and staff, and almost
3,000 students,” said Dr. Jason Tetzloff,
Director of the College’s Student Success
Initiatives. “This program is moving the
College forward and making it a premier
educational institution and a leader
in helping students succeed.”

The $1.7 million U.S. Department of Postsecondary Education grant is the
largest grant or gift received in the College’s 42-year history. Owens was
selected as one of only 34 academic institutions nationwide to receive the
Title III, Part A, Strengthening Institutions Grant in 2006.
The Board of Trustees
Owens Community College is led by a talented, diverse and passionate group
of individuals. Appointed by the Ohio Governor to six-year terms, the trustees
continue to lead the College to success through their unwavering commitment and
support to the College’s Mission, Vision and Core Values.
Mission:
Supporting
our Students
Since receiving a $1.7 million grant from the U.S.
Department of Postsecondary Education to enhance and
foster student success, Owens Community College has
spent the better part of 2007 developing a staggering
student success plan.
Part of that plan includes the implementation of the
electronic portfolio project, which allows students to
store papers, photos, video clips and other items in an
electronic format.
“In addition, the e-portfolio will allow students to showcase
projects and activities that are of particular interest to
future employers,” said Mindy Gray, instructor of the
pilot study course.
Gray added that the e-portfolio project has received
much recognition not only in the state of Ohio, but
also nationally.
Other milestones in the student success initiative
include becoming a Foundations of Excellence school
and developing a new program expected to serve
2,500 students in the coming year.
“In total, by Fall 2007, this program involved
at least 120 faculty and staff, and almost
3,000 students,” said Dr. Jason Tetzloff,
Director of the College’s Student Success
Initiatives. “This program is moving the
College forward and making it a premier
educational institution and a leader
in helping students succeed.”

A consortium of educators and community
leaders discussed various diversity issues
relevant to black culture as part of a Black
History Month panel discussion held
Feb. 20.
Seventeen Owens students, faculty and
staff spent their Spring Break rebuilding
hurricane- and tornado-damaged homes
in the Gulf Coast area. Drywalling, painting
and working on plumbing were some of
their tasks.
The Information Systems Technology
Network Security Certificate and Degree
programs received national certification
from the Information Assurance Courseware
Evaluation Review Committee in March.
Owens was the first college in the nation
to successfully complete the course
mapping required for certification on the
first attempt. Owens is only one of two
colleges in the state with this certification.
Thousands of high school students and their
parents attended College Preview Night and
Greater Hancock County College Night to
learn more about preparing for college while
gathering information from the more than
100 colleges and universities.
An outspoken advocate, storyteller and
visionary for people living with disabilities
and the culture to which they belong,
national lecturer Dan Wilkins spoke
before a crowd of more than 200 at the
College as part of Disability Awareness
Month activities. A wheelchair-user,
he discussed a broad range of topics,
ranging from disability and diversity
awareness, advocacy and self-advocacy
to the importance of humor, inclusion,
community and seeing the big picture.
A team of nursing students and faculty
volunteered to provide care for some of the
poorest residents of several small cities in
the Dominican Republic in March.
Twenty-six area police, fire and emergency
medical professionals were chosen to
receive the fourth annual Outstanding
Service Awards by Owens Community
College’s Alumni Association. The
recipients were honored as part of a
community celebration held in April.
The Student American Dental Hygienists’
Association worked at the Michigan
International Speedway over the summer
to raise money to help offset the cost of
State Boards. Over the course of two days,
the students raised $2,000.
More than 700 students graduated during
Spring Commencement. Michael P. Bell
served as keynote speaker while Leslie
Black, a Business Management major,
spoke as class representative. Of the
702 graduates, 195 graduated with
honors and 21 of those earned a
perfect 4.0 grade point average.
Area basketball players learned the
fundamentals of the sport at the Detroit
Pistons 2007 Youth Basketball Training
Camp held in the College’s Student Health
and Activities Center July 23-26.
Three students were named to the 2007
All-Ohio Academic Team. The Ohio
Association of Community Colleges and
Phi Theta Kappa International Honor
Society selected Renee Haas of Toledo,
Deanna Hays of St. Mary’s and Joanne
Reinhart of Fostoria for third team honors.
Only 50 students statewide were chosen
to receive this honor.
First generation college families learned
how students can make a successful
transition from high school to college
at the Toledo-area Campus’ new Parent
College 101 program. This free program
began in June.
Owens partnered with 92.5 KISS-FM and
FM 104.7 WIOT to offer the “The Tuition is
Right” scholarship contest. The grandprize winner, Jeremiah Frye of Toledo, won
four semesters of free Owens tuition, while
runners-up Gregory Staib II of Oak Harbor
and Jerrilyn Piezer of Perrysburg each
received one semester of free tuition.
The Early Learning Center on the Findlayarea Campus had a year of firsts. In March,
the Center began accepting 2-year-olds. In
June, the Center held its first-ever Summer
Camp for children ages 6-12.
Owens Community College’s Student
Government joined fellow students, area
residents and Owens employees in paying
tribute to those who lost their lives in the
Virginia Tech tragedy.
Workforce and Community Services was selected
by Motorcycle Ohio to receive a $270,500 statewide
grant to establish a Motorcycle Safety Training
Program in Wood County, one of only
15 permanent training locations in Ohio.
