President’s Report<br />
2009-2010<br />

Foreword<br />
The look of our campus has changed dramatically in the last year, but one thing that never changes is our commitment<br />
to our students. We feel better equipped than ever before to meet the needs of a changing student population with<br />
state-of-the-art facilities across the campus and student housing that is second to none.<br />
My first year as president has been marked by the completion of one transitional phase, the one that has produced<br />
two new fantastic buildings and a central campus core that has changed forever both our appearance and our ability<br />
to provide the best available resources to our students.<br />
We had many milestones of which we can all be proud. Our streak of enrollment increases reached an amazing<br />
30 straight semesters. Our athletic teams enjoyed another terrific year as we brought home our second straight<br />
NATYCAA trophy as national all-sports champions. Our students in the arts produced one thrilling stage performance<br />
after another and a series of wonderful art shows.<br />
Our campus hosted dozens of community events and our visitors left amazed by the changes they could see taking<br />
place. We have had another very good year both in the classroom and in all of the many and varied activities available<br />
to our students during the college year.<br />
I continue to marvel at the dedication of our students, staff and faculty to making the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> experience like<br />
no other and look forward to another great year ahead.<br />

Transition<br />
Completed<br />
What began in June 2007 with the approval of an $18 million<br />
bond issue to fund major campus upgrades has now been<br />
realized. In three short years, <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>’s core campus has<br />
been completely and permanently changed, giving the campus<br />
a much more fluid and cohesive look.<br />
The visual starts with the summer 2010 completion of the<br />
Student Resource Center (SRC), the last of the major projects<br />
to be completed. Open to students in fall 2010, the newest<br />
facility will house <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>’s bookstore, library, student<br />
union and bistro, among its many uses. This new building will<br />
be a true campus hub.<br />
One half of the 29,000-square foot building will contain the<br />
new campus bookstore, Triton zone (bistro) and student union.<br />
The new bright and sunny student gathering place features<br />
an open, airy look with big windows overlooking the campus<br />
pond to the south. It will contain large screen televisions and<br />
a stage for coffeehouse and other performances.<br />
The elevated half of the bi-level building will house the campus<br />
library, formerly on the third floor of the Library Building. The<br />
new all-access library is at the very center of campus, easily<br />
reachable from any location on campus. In addition to an open,<br />
roomy look with tables, chairs and couches, the library, with<br />
wireless internet, will contain a large conference room, four<br />
smaller study areas, the Student Success Center, 24 hard-wired<br />
computers and laptops available for checkout.<br />
A spacious sidewalk will circle the pond and fully connect the<br />
pedestrian core campus. There will be 80 new parking spots available<br />
near the newest building.<br />
Applied Science & Technology<br />
Building Second Floor<br />
The Nursing floor of the Applied Science and Technology Building<br />
underwent a major remodeling after classes dismissed in May.<br />
New to the floor in fall 2010 will be:<br />
1. Two Nursing classrooms with labs.<br />
2. A Nurse Aid classroom with lab.<br />
3. A high fidelity patient simulator lab.<br />
4. An observation room to the patient simulator lab.<br />
S. Two Nursing classrooms.<br />
6. Six new faculty/staff offices.<br />
The makeover will emphasize the nurse aid and nursing classrooms.<br />
“During 2010-2011 the Nursing faculty will be exploring ways to<br />
implement high fidelity patient simulation,” said Connie Boyd, dean<br />
of health sciences.”<br />
Bioscience and<br />
Health Sciences Building<br />
The BHS completed its first year as a major new addition to the<br />
campus. In September 2009, the new campus signature building was<br />
the subject of a major grand opening celebration featuring city, state<br />
and national dignitaries.<br />
United States Senator Tom Harkin, Fourth District Congressman<br />
Tom Latham and Lieutenant Governor Patty Judge headlined a<br />
program in which the new building was praised for its design, but<br />
mainly for its purpose. The BHS Building is training headquarters<br />
for <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> students in Bioscience and Biotechnology, houses<br />
a nationally recognized fuels testing lab, and is home to professional<br />
health care services training in Radiologic Technology, Medical<br />
Assistant and Medical Lab Technician.<br />
The public event was also dedicated to recognizing the many people,<br />
both public and private, without whose contributions the building<br />
would not have become a reality.<br />
Speakers included <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> President Dr. Dan Kinney, Mark<br />
Crimmins, president of the Board of Trustees, Judge, Latham<br />
and Harkin. Another six area lawmakers who were present; Sen.<br />
Jack Kibbie, Sen. Rich Olive, Sen. Daryl Beall, Rep. Helen Miller,<br />
Rep. Dave Tjepkes, and Rep. Dolores Mertz. Also present were<br />
representatives of the <strong>Iowa</strong> Soybean Association, Renewable<br />
Energy Group (REG) and <strong>Iowa</strong> Department of Education.<br />
Harkin, after touring the new facility told the large crowd, “there<br />
is nothing like it anywhere.”<br />
Additional Changes<br />
• A new sign consistent in design with the new buildings on<br />
campus, is now located at the entrance along Highway 169.<br />
• A new sculpture entitled ‘Axiom’ (pictured on the front cover)<br />
is located at the northeast corner of the BHS. Designed by<br />
Cedar Falls artist Tom Stancliffe, ‘Axiom’ is the first outdoor<br />
sculpture on campus. The design, Stancliffe said, was inspired<br />
by the sciences and technologies taught at <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>. It<br />
was purchased with funds donated by the Catherine Vincent<br />
Deardorf Foundation.<br />
• The welding program, for years a fixture in the Applied Science<br />
& Technology Building has moved to the Crimmins Center.<br />

Biofuels Testing Lab<br />
In the case of <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>’s quality fuels testing laboratory,<br />
there is truly nothing like it anywhere. The lab, located on<br />
the first floor of the BHS, has received its coveted BQ-9000<br />
accreditation through the National Biodiesel Accreditation<br />
Commission, and is the first laboratory in the nation to do so.<br />
“That is quite an achievement to be the first one,” said Don Heck,<br />
director of the fuel test lab. “There are several others going<br />
through the process but we are the first one to get there.”<br />
The BQ-9000 program is a quality management program with<br />
accredited producers and accredited marketers, and now with<br />
the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>-based lab, an accredited laboratory.<br />
“It’s important to recognize all of our partners in this. The<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> Biodiesel Board, National Biodiesel Board, State of<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong>, the federal Department of Energy, and Gary Delong<br />
of Novecta, the consultant who helped put together our BQ-<br />
9000 program,” Heck said.
<strong>McComas</strong> <strong>Honored</strong><br />
Marlene <strong>McComas</strong>, <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> vice president of instruction,<br />
in November 2009 received the Recognition Award from The<br />
Way Up, an <strong>Iowa</strong> group whose mission is defined as developing<br />
women leaders to enhance <strong>Iowa</strong> higher education.<br />
The Way Up is a group dedicated to assisting women in<br />
higher education institutions as they continue to develop<br />
their leadership and administrative skills and expertise. The<br />
Recognition Award is presented to an individual who has<br />
made significant contributions toward the development and<br />
advancement of women in higher education. The 23rd annual<br />
fall conference carried the theme-Women in Higher Education:<br />
leading for Change.<br />
<strong>McComas</strong> was nominated for the award by <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong><br />
colleagues Kris Nerem-Lowery, Jennifer Condon and Martha<br />
Bailie. The following comments were drawn from their<br />
nomination letter: “Marlene acts as an excellent steward of<br />
the college...We trust her as faculty to act in our best interest.<br />
We trust her as administrators to act in the best interest of the<br />
college, and we trust her as students to guide choices and actions.<br />
She recognizes and inspires potential in others and encourages<br />
us to grow in our own areas of work and responsibilities.”<br />
Our<br />
People<br />
While the brick and mortar portion of the transition was mostly<br />
finished in the last year, it is only fitting we recognize a group<br />
of people whose talents contributed for many years toward<br />
making <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> a leader among <strong>Iowa</strong>’s community colleges<br />
regardless of appearance.<br />
The Board of Trustees accepted the retirement resignations<br />
of the following people; Charlene Anderson, Martha Bailie,<br />
Jon Bakker, Larry Boyd, Dan Gogerty, Ann Hansen, Glen<br />
Konopasek, Bill McAnally, Bill McIntyre, Dennis Pilcher, Steve<br />
Segar, Diane Sorensen, and Craig Stripling. Together this group<br />
accounted for more than 200 years of experience across the vast<br />
spectrum of services provided by the college.<br />
Though new and updated facilities are essential to help <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
<strong>Central</strong> keep pace with the workforce needs of this region, it’s<br />
the people inside those buildings who make <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> a<br />
vibrant, vital and enjoyable place for students to be.<br />
We will miss the people in this group who contributed so much<br />
for so many years, but we continue to have a strong and dedicated<br />
faculty, staff and administration to carry on our student-friendly<br />
approach in the coming years.<br />
A special thanks to this group for all they did to make <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
<strong>Central</strong> a better place.<br />
Electrical Technologies<br />
team recognized<br />
The <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Electrical Technologies Program (formerly<br />
Maintenance Electrician) received the Post-Secondary Program<br />
of the Year award at the <strong>Iowa</strong> Industry and Technology<br />
Conference in October 2009. All of the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> electrical<br />
instructors were present to accept the award.<br />
The program and instructors were nominated by an <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
<strong>Central</strong> colleague. The following paragraphs quote the<br />
nomination letter:<br />
((Mike Brueschke, Ed Dyvig, Troy Harris, Dan Kemnitz, Chris<br />
Cleveland, and Scott Goodno .... all of these gentlemen comprise<br />
the faculty for the Electrical Technologies Program at <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
<strong>Central</strong>. As instructors, we all have passion and vision for how our<br />
students should be taught. It is impressive the way in which six<br />
instructors in this program blend that vision and passion and work<br />
together to ensure the growth and success of their students.<br />
It is obvious that they are doing something right as they<br />
continue to see consistent growth each year in their enrollment,<br />
progressing from two teachers with smaller numbers years ago<br />
to the six teachers with the 114 students they have today.<br />
This staff is a shining example of how a program can be efficient<br />
and effective, but still a place where the students can feel at<br />
home in their learning.<br />
Student Taylor Getting<br />
receives national academic honor<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> student Taylor Getting, received a national level<br />
academic distinction in March 2010 when he was selected as a<br />
Bronze Scholar by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.<br />
6 7<br />
A sophomore in the Computer Networking Technology<br />
program, Getting was named to the Coca-Cola All-State<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Academic Team and received a $1,000<br />
scholarship from the Coca-Cola Foundation. He was also selected<br />
from <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> to the USA Today Academic All-American<br />
team. Getting, of Fort Dodge, graduated in May with his A.A.S.<br />
and A.A. degrees and a 3.883 grade point average.<br />
Getting was active on campus in many areas including music<br />
and theatre and in the Fort Dodge community with Habitat<br />
for Humanity as co-developer of a Halloween attraction at<br />
Crossroads Mall. Using computer-based animatronics, Getting<br />
and friend Alex Kitterman of Fort Dodge gave more than 3,000<br />
visitors a Halloween scare last year.<br />
Getting specifically chose <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> to begin his college<br />
career because of the quality of the hands-on training. “I don’t<br />
think I would have been able to access my own Cyber Defense<br />
Lab anyplace else,” he said.<br />
Other highlights<br />
Amy Simpson, Mary Thompson, and Neil Peterson were honored<br />
with the “NISOD Teaching In Excellence” awards.<br />
The <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> student newspaper received a first place rating<br />
in the annual Scholastic Press Association contest and review.<br />
The <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> chapter of Business Professionals of America<br />
returned from the state leadership conference and competition with<br />
five first place awards and the new state president for next year.<br />
Two teams of <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Dental Hygiene students were<br />
awarded grants from the Delta Dental of <strong>Iowa</strong> Foundation for<br />
project research purposes. One for their Athletic Mouth Guard<br />
<strong>Community</strong> Dentistry project, the other for their comparative<br />
study of powered tooth brushes and manual tooth brushes in<br />
plaque control and oral health in nursing homes.
Triton<br />
Athletics<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Wins<br />
NJCAA All-Sports Title<br />
For the second consecutive year, <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> is the national<br />
all-sports champion among scholarship schools at the two-year<br />
level. With 186 points <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> was the runaway winner<br />
for its second straight NATYCAA Cup trophy.<br />
Algoe and Female<br />
Athlete of the Year Awards<br />
Wilmot Wellington, football running back and member of the<br />
track and field team from Fairfield, became the 43rd winner<br />
of the Mike Algoe Award which goes each year to the top<br />
sophomore male student athlete.<br />
The 24th recipient of the Female Athlete Award was Amanda<br />
Vorthmann of Oakland, standout member of the <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong><br />
cross country and track and field teams.<br />
Wellington was first team all-region and all-conference and<br />
an honorable mention all-American in football. He rushed for<br />
1,230 yards and 16 touchdowns and signed with Northern <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
to continue his career with the Panthers. In track and field he<br />
was a national qualifier in both the NJCAA Indoor and Outdoor<br />
National Championships in the sprints and sprint relays.<br />
Vorthmann is a two-time Coaches Association All-American<br />
in both track and field and cross country. She was an academic<br />
all-American, and team captain for the 2009 national runnerup<br />
Triton women’s cross country team. She was voted Most<br />
Inspirational and Hardest Worker by her teammates.<br />
Kinney Cup goes to <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong><br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> President Dr. Dan Kinney, and his father, also Dr.<br />
Dan Kinney, president of <strong>Iowa</strong> Western <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>,<br />
added a little good-natured fuel to a budding football rivalry by<br />
establishing the `Kinney Cup’, a traveling trophy awarded to the<br />
winner of the game between the two schools each year. The 2009<br />
game was historic because it was the first ever for <strong>Iowa</strong> Western’s<br />
new football program. The Kinney Cup, however, went to the<br />
younger Dan Kinney, and <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> which posted a 42-28<br />
win in the game played at Council Bluffs.<br />
Wrestling Team <strong>Honored</strong><br />
It’s not everyday that a sports team is recognized and<br />
congratulated by a State House of Representatives. House<br />
Resolution 121 honors Coach Luke Moffitt and the Tritons<br />
for making wrestling history by becoming the first NJCAA<br />
squad to capture five straight national titles.<br />

State and Federal<br />
Government Affairs<br />
It was another difficult state and federal legislative environment<br />
in fiscal year 2010. State funding was once again reduced, but<br />
due to our enrollment growth the college was able to deal<br />
with the reduced state funding by the increase in tuition. As<br />
of August 2010 <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> has been included in the federal<br />
appropriations legislation for an additional $500,000 for the fuel<br />
testing laboratory. It is expected that the final federal budget<br />
will not be approved until after the November elections so our<br />
final federal funding will not be finalized until that time.<br />
The administrative team is monitoring the state and federal<br />
appropriations process and will be actively engaged with helping<br />
our state and federal legislators understand the important role<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> plays in our regional economy, while they look<br />
at reforming and downsizing state and federal government<br />
programs and funding. The college has also contracted with a<br />
grant writer who is helping us secure federal stimulus funding<br />
for deconstruction and health care training.<br />
Grassley Tour<br />
Charles Grassley, <strong>Iowa</strong>’s senior United States Senator,<br />
brought dignitaries representing more than 60 nations to<br />
Fort Dodge. The goal is to make certain foreign ambassadors<br />
and key embassy staffers are familiar with the many business<br />
opportunities <strong>Iowa</strong> affords.<br />
The community hosted the dignitaries overnight in private<br />
homes. After a tour of the new Bio Science Health Sciences<br />
Building, the group heard presentations which highlighted our<br />
area’s agricultural industries.<br />
The<br />
Fine Arts<br />
In the fall, <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>’s performing arts students gave us<br />
`Noises Off ’, the hilarious play by Englishman Michael Frayn.<br />
In the spring, the timeless musical `Joseph and the Amazing<br />
Technicolor Dreamcoat’ made its return to the Decker<br />
Auditorium stage for the first time since 1996.<br />
Both productions were met with enthusiastic audiences as the<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> students enjoyed another outstanding year of<br />
top notch music and drama performances. In the fall semester,<br />
the play was followed by the variety shows `Spotlight on the<br />
Stars’ and the ever popular `Holiday Concert’. In the spring<br />
the students followed the musical with the `Curtain Call’ dance<br />
performance, an `Evening of Improv and Variety’, a new event<br />
designed to give students (and staff), the chance to freestyle for<br />
fun, and the concluding `Spring Showcase’.<br />
The Art Department students had an extremely busy year too<br />
with various shows throughout the year for college and high<br />
school students both on campus and at the Blanden Memorial<br />
Art Museum. There were also several guest appearances by<br />
professional artists as hosted by the college.<br />
“Empty Bowl” Project Succeeds<br />
The Art students produced 100 ceramic bowls and Friendship<br />
Haven employees and residents donated the desserts and<br />
soup for the first “Empty Bowl” project in partnership with<br />
Friendship Haven. This project netted $1065.00, with one<br />
half going to our campus food pantry and the other half given<br />
to the pantry of Friendship Haven’s choice.<br />

Dear Friends:<br />
This year brought turbulent financial markets and<br />
uncertain political changes, yet <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>’s tradition<br />
rich commitment to providing scholarship assistance to<br />
our students remained strong. Scholarships allow college<br />
students to focus on their studies rather than working<br />
part-time jobs.<br />
Because of your generosity in funding a wide array of<br />
scholarships, <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> students of all backgrounds,<br />
regardless of economic circumstances, are able to reap the<br />
benefits of an <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> education.<br />
Thank you for your belief in <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> and our mission<br />
to support students!<br />

Associate Vice President, Development & Alumni Relations<br />
<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Foundation Mission<br />
To attract and hold bequests, grants, and other contributions<br />
to support the mission of the <strong>College</strong> with funds not<br />
available from other sources for the benefit of the college,<br />
students, faculty, and staff.<br />

Triton<br />
Club<br />
The “Triton Club” (<strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong>’s Athletic Booster Club)<br />
exists to assist our athletic programs with numerous budgeting<br />
issues. Dollars raised through our Triton Club go to offset the<br />
cost of operating a first class athletic program. Scholarships,<br />
equipment, and travel costs are all areas of concern for each<br />
individual sports program. We are currently fundraising for a<br />
state-of-the-art 10,000-square foot weight room. Your support<br />
will be much appreciated. Over one hundred faculty and staff, as<br />
well as numerous alumni and many businesses, are Triton Club<br />
contributors. <strong>Iowa</strong> <strong>Central</strong> has a proud tradition of excellence<br />
in the athletic arena. Each year our squads are competitive at the<br />
national level! Your past, present, and future support of <strong>Iowa</strong><br />
<strong>Central</strong> Athletics is vital as we continue to operate our programs<br />
at the highest level. For information on becoming a Triton Club<br />
member please call Kevin Twait at 800-362-2793 ext. 1360.<br />
