Once A Raven, Always A Raven 2015 semester.

I have had the opportunity and extreme pleasure to meet many CCC alumni since I became President. I will not call them former Ravens, because I like B. J. Pendleton’s saying, “Once a Raven, Always a Raven.” Alumnus Jim Ross, CCC’s 2014 Commencement Speaker, is a great example of how CCC students go on to succeed. Carl & Mary Ice (Texas) and Terry Hersperger (Missouri), who endowed scholarships this year, are also examples of alumni who have enjoyed success and who help support our College. Other scholarships endowed this year are listed as well. CCC enjoys a rich tradition of educational excellence; former and current students reinforce this over and over again.

He began with Southeast Kansas Technical school at that time and then in 2001 upon the merger of SEK Technical with CCC, he became a Red Raven. John has been instructing stu- dents on how to make their vehicle look sharp for twenty years. Over the years, John has really enjoyed his students and being able to pass on a trade that his students can enjoy forever. John was a car guy from the start, so this has been a great job for him. He has had some really good students who have become good friends. Some of his most memorable students were a grandfather and granddaughter who took the class together. John is planning to spend more time with his family, including his wife Mary, his children, John was a part of all of the golf carts Bob, Becky, Sara, Jennifer and Melissa and a few grandchildren.

Chair for the English/Communications Veterans Memorial Stadium Gets New Turf

CCC, in conjunction with the City of Coffeyville and the USD 445, took on the project of replacing turf at Veterans Memorial Stadium this winter. All three en- tities pay $25,000 into a maintenance fund each year for major maintenance expenses such as turf replace- ment. The new turf cost a little over $400,000. It was installed, and the field markings have been stitched into the surface along with the end zone lettering. Unlike the previous turf which was a slit film, this turf is a blended turf that contains slit film and a mono-fil- ament allowing it to be more durable. The previous turf was used for 13 seasons since the stadium’s construction was completed in 2001. Over those 13 years, the original turf hosted hundreds of college, high school and city recreation football and soccer games. Veterans Memorial Stadium hosts CCC’s Football, Men’s and Women’s Soccer, and Track athletic events. The stadium is also used by the school district and hosts other community events such as Relay for Life. Wilson East and West-No More retired in 1966 after he served as Dean for 24 years. Prior to that, he served Coffeyville Community Junior College as instructor in English, speech, and journalism, and as assistant dean. Two successive national championships, in 1938 and 1939, were won by Coffeyville debaters with Dean Wilson as college debate coach. His debate teams won four state championships and a total of 22 team trophies.

Nothing has really been more exciting on the CCC campus this year than looking forward to the building of a new men’s dormitory. The new facility will be 5-stories tall and house 320 student beds, 4 Student Life Manager rooms and a Manager’s apartment. It will set to the north of the Pat Walker Women’s Residence Hall. The men’s dormitory will attach to Walker Hall through a com- mon entrance and shared elevator that will serve both build- ings. Construction is expected to start in summer of 2014 with the anticipated opening of the facility for the August 2015 start of school. The dorm is being built with durability in mind. With the goal of the structure standing and operational for many years beyond the life of the bonds. The structure walls will be constructed of pre-cast concrete panels. Some of the interior dividing walls will be concrete block. Laundry for both men and women will be consolidated and housed on the first floor of the new dorm. The new dorm will become the entry point for both the men’s dorm and Walker Hall. The entry area will feature a lounge, game room and a space the architects have labeled the “Internet Cafe” adjacent to the vending machine space. The security desk will also be located at this entry point. The project is being funded primarily through the issuance of Revenue Bonds in addition to some cash reserves. CCC Technical Education
