Greetings from your alma mater! It is a pleasure for me to share with you several of G the important events and initiatives underway at Lincoln College. Your continuing connection to the College is indispensable to our success, and I encourage you to reflect on your association with Lincoln College and support the College in any way you can.

Academic Programs Lincoln College–Lincoln has embarked on a project to upgrade its science classrooms and laboratories and to develop an outdoor education area situated along Sugar Creek. You may be aware that the largest wooly mammoth tusk ever unearthed was found in the area to be developed for outdoor education. Dr. Dennis Campbell is leading the project to provide improved in-class, science education, as well as a living laboratory for field experiences by LC students and the larger President Jonathon M. Astroth community. The College intends for its living laboratory to be a resource for all those interested in the life sciences.

Extending the Reach of Lincoln College The College’s Normal campus continues to expand its relationships with public community colleges in Illinois. Most recently, Lincoln College signed an agreement with Illinois Valley Community College in Oglesby to deliver the Accelerated Bridge to Education (ABE) program on the IVCC campus. Lincoln College is also working with Heartland Community College in Normal to offer greater student activities and student life opportunities to LCN students.

David joins LC with a wealth of experience, including holding similar positions at Edgewood College in Wisconsin and at the Illinois Board of Higher Education. The office of Institutional Research and Planning will help the College gather and assess data in order to guide planning and improvements to instruction and operations.

Institutional Advancement I would like to express my gratitude to Lincoln College alumni and friends who continue to provide critical financial support to the institution. In light of the difficult economy and the instability in state financial aid programs, significant gifts received this year were vitally important to the ongoing success of the College and its students. As we look to the future, contributions from alumni and friends will continue to play a crucial role in assuring the ongoing vitality of Lincoln College.

2 www.lincolncollege.edu/alumni President Jon Astroth’s Appointment Extended a Second Year The Lincoln College Board of Trustees approved a measure to extend the contract of Dr. Jon Astroth for another year. Astroth was named the 20th President of the College last spring.

When announcing the Board’s decision to extend Astroth’s appointment, Dr. Ted Allison, Chair of the Board of Trustees said, “We could not be more delighted at the prospect of Jon being with us for more than one year.”

Lincoln College was founded in 1865 as Lincoln University. It is the only college or university named for Abraham Lincoln during his lifetime. The college expanded to the Bloomington-Normal area in 1979. In recent months, College administrators announced President Jonathon M. Astroth new programs that greatly expand the College’s reach including a new online Bachelor’s degree completion program in Supply Chain and Logistics Management, and the expansion of the accelerated Bachelor’s degree completion program known as ABE to the Illinois Valley Community College campus in Oglesby, Illinois.

Over a 34 year career in academia, Astroth has served on numerous state and national boards related to higher education and was named a visiting professor to Northeast Normal University in Changchun, Jilin, China. He earned a Ph.D. in Educational Administration at Illinois State University.

Juanita (Folger) Niehus, class of 1927, celebrated a milestone many of us will never see, her A L U M N I 105th birthday on February 18, 2011. Many family and friends enjoyed a weekend full of celebrations honoring an amazing woman SPOT and her very special birthday. Juanita really L I G H T enjoyed all the festivities: a big family dinner on Friday; a Saturday birthday party at the Colonnades (where she lives); and a party at the coffee hour at her church on Sunday, where Juanita’s daughter, Lois, and her granddaughter baked five different cakes, one for each year after 100, and each cake had 21 candles for a total of 105. (The granddaughters and great-granddaughters blew out all the candles for Juanita.) In honor of her birthday and 84 years alumna status from Lincoln College, the Alumni Office sent Juanita a Lincoln College sweatshirt, beanie bear, and a gold Lincoln lapel pin, along with a special birthday card from the Lincoln College President. Juanita’s daughter, Lois, reported that her mother was thrilled and touched to get the memorabilia and birthday cards from her alma mater.

Juanita is enjoying life in Virginia and said 2010 was a very good year for her. She had no falls, no illnesses, not even a cold! Her Gerontologist told her she had the “skinniest” chart she has seen for someone 100+ years old. Juanita keeps busy by exercising with hand weights, chair yoga, balloon volleyball and trivia contests. Her great-grandchildren Rory and Riley often join her for Bingo and Bocce on the outdoor court, and winter swimming in the indoor pool. Juanita said her family is, of course, her greatest joy. Juanita shared, “I am so thankful for the wonderful life that I have lived—I hope and pray that each of you will Juanita with her daughers, grand-daughters and great grand- find love and peace in 2011.” daughters.
