College Mission

Philosophy

Rend Lake College’s philosophy outlines the manner in which the college fulfils its mission:

The College is committed to offering programs and services of the highest quality that are affordable to its constituents. The College will maintain a student-friendly atmosphere, making its services as accessible as possible. Courses and programs offered by the College will be transferable or lead to attractive employment opportunities. The College will provide these programs and services in an effective manner while maintaining financial responsibility.

Mission

The mission statement is the essential purpose of the college from which all college activities originate:

Rend Lake College provides educational opportunities across cultural and economic boundaries to the diverse student population that we serve. In addition to our commitment to fulfill all our education and community-focused program objectives, we are committed to every degree-completing student demonstrating the fundamental skills of effective critical thinking, problem-solving, oral communication, and written communication. In fulfilling its mission, Rend Lake College will be an active leader in our region’s development. Our students’ success is our own success.

Institutional Outcomes

Rend Lake College has adopted four essential learner outcomes, fundamental learning objectives embedded in every program of study, that all degree-completing students should be able to demonstrate. They are as follows:

Critical Thinking: Demonstrate the ability to think in a self-directed, reflective manner when understanding, evaluating and solving problems.

Problem-Solving: Demonstrate the ability to resolve computational problems.

Oral Communication: Demonstrate the ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and effectively through verbal and non-verbal language.

Written Communication: Demonstrate the ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and effectively through written language.

Statement on General Education

To be educated and worthy of a diploma is not only a mastery of one discipline area or technical skill, but also includes learning a broad range of knowledge and skill sets. General Education is one way in which students prepare to function in a diverse and changing world. Upon graduation, a degree- completing student will be expected to demonstrate the competencies outlined in the college’s mission and by the student’s respective program outcomes as well as the following:

• Knowledge

It is important for students to have a knowledge base from a variety of disciplines. In addition to demonstrating an understanding of the fundamental concepts and vocabulary of their specific programs, degree-completing students will demonstrate basic and broad knowledge of science, social science, math and the arts.

• Skills

With a broad-based knowledge, students should have specific skills. In addition to the institutional outcomes of effective oral and written communication, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, degree-completing students will demonstrate an understanding of the modes of discovery, co-operate as a member of a team to complete assignments and use applicable technology proficiently.

• Values

In an evolving global society, students will benefit from the ability to formulate their own values while remaining open-minded to the views of others. Degree-completing students will demonstrate an awareness of a wide range of perspectives as well as have opportunities to appreciate and understand the fine arts and to explore individual values in a multi-cultural world.

Who We Are The college history and other background documents define the college from the perspective of organization and assets; however, the personnel that operate within the college systems and manage those assets are the primary element for successful education. Rend Lake College believes that all employees, regardless of their job description, are part of each student’s education. Administrative, community outreach, student service, and physical plant personnel all support the student learning process. More than 60 full-time, 200 part-time, and 60 dual-credit instructors are primary points of contact with the Rend Lake College educational experience. These educators are generally organized into five divisions: Allied Health; Applied Science and Technology; Health and Physical Education; Liberal Arts; and Math, Science and Education. Whether in a supporting role or as a direct point of contact, each college employee draws upon professional expertise and academic accomplishment in the hope of success for every student.

Who We Serve Student-centered colleges are best defined by who they serve. An understanding of the distinctiveness of our college’s student population allows us to effectively meet the goals of our programs and succeed in our mission.

Diversity of Culture

Traditionally, Rend Lake College can be characterized as serving a relatively homogenous rural, small town culture. This population’s cultural distinctiveness is centered on age and socio-economic status more than diverse ethnic origin. As Rend Lake College has broadened its programs and the mobility of Americans has diversified the ethnic origin of district students, the college recognizes that many cultural distinctions are found in our student population:

• Age • Race/ethnicity • Gender • Socio- Economic status • Disability

Diversity of Purpose

Rend Lake College provides general education to traditional and non-traditional students who will transfer to universities after their first two years. We provide training to those wishing to learn a skill or trade that will ensure gainful employment and economic success. We also serve those wishing to find personal fulfilment and growth by taking community and general education classes at Rend Lake College. Often, a student’s purpose for attending is a combination of all of these:

• General education, Transfer • Community Education •Career-Technical Transfer, Certification, Retraining • Personal Growth

Diversity of Origin

The majority of the student population we serve is comprised of in-district, on-campus traditional and non-traditional students; however, reciprocal agreements, state-wide educational programs, expansion of our dual-credit high school classes and international recruitment in our athletic programs have increased the scope of origin of our students:

• In-District High School Dual Credit • Out-Of-District • International • Other Special Populations • Traditional

Common Outcome Regardless of the diverse cultural backgrounds, purposes and origins of our students, Rend Lake College serves each student equally with its open admission policy and an equal opportunity for success. Furthermore, the shared commitment by student, faculty and staff to meet all the expected institutional, general education and program objectives unifies all those that Rend Lake College serves.

Projections of Education Statistics to 2021

Enrollment in Postsecondary Degree-Granting Institutions: Introduction

Total enrollment in postsecondary degree-granting institutions is expected to increase 15 percent between fall 2010, the last year of actual data, and fall 2021. Degree-granting institutions are postsecondary institutions that provide study beyond secondary school and offer programs terminating in an associate's, baccalaureate, or higher degree and participate in federal financial aid programs. Differential growth is expected by student characteristics such as age, sex, and attendance status (part- time or full-time). Enrollment is expected to increase in both public and private postsecondary degree-granting institutions.

Actual and projected population numbers for 18- to 24-year-olds and 25- to 29-year-olds: 1996 through 2021

NOTE: Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Projections are from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2008 National Population Projections, ratio-adjusted to line up with the most recent historical estimate. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Commerce, Census Bureau, Population Estimates, retrieved October 16, 2011, from http://www.census.gov/ popest/data/index.html; and 2008 National Population Projections, retrieved November 2, 2008, from http://www.census.gov/population/www/ projections/2008projections.html. (This figure was prepared March 2012.)

Factors affecting the projections

The projections of enrollment levels are related to projections of college-age populations, disposable income, and unemployment rates. For more details, see appendixes A.0 and A.5. An important factor in the enrollment projections is the expected increase in the population of 25- to 29-year- olds.

Factors that were not considered

The enrollment projections do not take into account such factors as the cost of a college education, the economic value of an education, and the impact of distance learning due to technological changes. These factors may produce changes in enrollment levels. The racial/ethnic backgrounds of nonresident aliens are not known.

Accuracy of Projections

For projections of total enrollment in postsecondary degree-granting institutions, an analysis of projection errors based on the past 14 editions of Projections of Education Statistics indicates that the mean absolute percentage errors (MAPEs) for lead times of 1, 2, 5, and 10 years out were 1.7, 2.6, 5.3, and 13.1 percent, respectively. For the 1-year-out prediction, this means that one would expect the projection to be within 1.7 percent of the actual value, on average. For more information, see table A-2 in appendix A.

Allied Health Division

As we move into the 21st century, rapid technological and scientific advances in the medical field, along with a large aging population have created high demand for allied health professionals. Currently in Southern Illinois, there are many allied health professionals who deliver high-quality patient care services for the sick, injured or disabled; however, the supply of allied health professionals is not keeping up with demand. Local hospitals report that they are experiencing difficulty recruiting allied health professionals. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the growth rate of new jobs in the health care professions will be twice the rate of job growth in non- healthcare professions. The Bureau also predicts a need for 5.3 million health care workers to fill job openings created by departures and new positions in the next five years.

Allied health is a vast field of health careers comprised of more than 100 health care professions including those offered by Rend Lake College such as Nursing, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy Assisting, Medical Laboratory Technology, Surgical Technology, Therapeutic Massage, and Health Information Technology. Allied health providers are crucial to the health care system as they support, facilitate, and complement the roles of doctors, nurses, and other health care specialists.

Here at Rend Lake College, we take pride in the following:

 employ 35 full-time and part-time faculty members  Full-time faculty members have expertise in nursing, radiology, CT, MRI, therapeutic massage  The full-time faculty possess: . Master degree (7) . Bachelor degree (4) . Associate Degree (2)  Dual credit Basic Nurse Assistant course taught at Mt. Vernon, Christopher, and Benton  Sponsor 3 student organizations: Nursing Club, Radiologic Technology Club, Lambda Nu  Allied Health Discovery Camp to be offered August 2013 for students in 7th and 8th grade to explore careers in Health Career. Math and Sciences Division as well as AHEC and SeiGrow have also partnered in the camp.  Rend Lake College offers six Associate in Applied Science degrees and Nine certificate programs.

Truck Driver Training
