Ohio Department of Education Supports Adult Diploma ProgramCuyahoga Community College is one of five pilot sites selected across the state of Ohio to conduct the Adult Diploma Program. Ohio Department of Education has awarded $450,000 to the College for a six-month planning grant. This initiative will assist adults in obtaining their high school diploma and an industry credential or certificate. The pilot project will build the College’s capacity to provide services and training to this unique population so that they can successfully enter Ohio’s in-demand career fields. The program was created by the state of Ohio to identify and serve the 1.1 million Ohio citizens age 22 and older who have not earned a high school diploma or equivalent. How does this differ from the College’s ABLE and GED Programs?Adult Basic and Literacy Education (ABLE) provides free services for individuals who need assistance acquiring the skills to be successful in postsecondary education and training, and employment. Tri-C’s ABLE program provides basic math, reading, writing and literacy skills to 3,100 people annually. Through the College’s General Educational Development (GED) services, 100 participants earn the GED annually. The GED test gives students who left high school before graduating an opportunity to earn a High School Equivalence Diploma. The

GED test covers four subjects: reasoning through language, mathematical reasoning, science and

social studies. A GED can be used to pursue career training or a college degree.Candidates for the Adult Diploma Program are those who did not

complete high school and are highly motivated to enter career pathways for

in-demand jobs. Participants will earn a high school diploma

through participation in a competency-based learning program, culminating in the demonstration of mastery of skills to enter a career pathway to industries such as health careers, manufacturing and culinary arts. What can a participant expect after completing the Adult Diploma Program?With attainment of a high school diploma and industry credentials, job placement within the career pathway is a priority for Cuyahoga Community College and its partners in the Adult Diploma Program. In addition, participants are well situated to continue on an academic pathway to obtain additional credentials or an associate degree to move them further along in their career pathway. Services for members of the pilot program are underway. For more information, please call 216-987-0244.

Generous Bequest from College Retiree Supports Tri-C Engineering Students

Alfred Penko believed in the value of a good education and the success that can be achieved from it. Mr. Penko was a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cuyahoga Community College and a Professional Engineer for the state of Ohio. He dedicated over 30 years to Tri-C as a professor. His passion for education and making the world a better place was evident inside and outside of the classroom. He was dedicated to helping his students pursue their dreams of becoming an engineer. Outside of the classroom Mr. Penko was very activein working to preserve our natural resources. Hewas fond of the outdoors, especially the Metroparkssurrounding the Cleveland area. In 2012, he wasnamed Conservationist of the Year for Northeast Ohiofor his active efforts with the Friends of Big Creek.

He graduated from Brecksville High School and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the Ohio University College of Engineering. When he passed away in December 2013, his family contacted the Tri-C Foundation to share that Mr. Penko had made a commitment in his estate plans to help Tri-C students access and complete their education. As a result, the family of

Mr. Alfred Penko has established the Alfred Penko Scholarship Fund in his memory to support students enrolled in Tri-C’s Engineering Technology Programs.

Tri-C Chosen As Ohio Site to Pilot MDRC Project for Accelerated Study in Associate ProgramsMDRC, a nonprofit, nonpartisan education and social policy research organization, has provided a multi-year grant to support Cuyahoga Community College’s participation in the Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) Replication Project.

Through a partnership with the Ohio Board of Regents, MDRC, City University of New York and the Great Lakes Guaranty Corporation, Tri-C will serve as one of three ASAP replication sites in the state of Ohio. The ASAP is a nationally recognized model, created by the City University of New York

Community Colleges, designed to significantly increase timely degree completion and graduation.

This is part of the pilot group for the College’s “Design in 3” program. The program includes incentivized full-time degree pathways, integrated and mandatory student support services, early engagement, first-year block scheduled courses, a consolidated course schedule, summer courses, and data collection and analysis for ongoing program management and evaluation.


Invest in People for the Greatest ReturnDuring my 25 years serving on the Cuyahoga Community College Board ofTrustees, I have had the extreme pleasure of watching the College grow into one of the top community colleges in the country. I am very proud that Tri-C remains the place where futures begin for so many members of our community.Keeping tuition affordable has been a primary objective of mine during my terms, serving with many great colleagues on the College Board, the Tri-C Foundation Board and, of course, with three of the College’s four presidents.Despite our efforts to keep the cost of education within the reach of Tri-C students, economic and personal challenges often prevent this from becoming reality. It is so disheartening to hear stories of students who are unable to remain in the classroom because they are struggling with other expenses of daily living, such as feeding their families and paying their utility bills. That is where the Cuyahoga Community College Foundation makes a critical difference to our students and to our community.With the assistance of its generous partners, the Tri-C Foundation providesfunding support for program development and enhancement and, mostimportantly, student scholarships. So very often even a small scholarshipmakes the difference in the life of a student. By providing assistance fortuition and books through scholarships so that students can complete theirdegrees, the Tri-C Foundation is making a difference in our communityand our region. This is why I support the Cuyahoga Community CollegeFoundation. I hope you will too, as we all work together to invest in peoplefor a greater return for us all, now and in the future.

Their support is making a difference in our community.

Gap Scholarships enable Tri-C students to pursue rewarding careers.


Alumna Dr. Natalie Bowersox Reflects on the Value of a Tri-C EducationAs the oldest of four children and financing her higher education on her own, Dr. Natalie Bowersox knew that she would have to find a way to make college affordable if she wanted to continue her studies. During her senior year in high school a guidance counselor encouraged her to apply for a Cuyahoga Community College Foundation scholarship. She received the award, covering her tuition and books during her two years of study on Tri-C’s Western Campus.

After graduating with her Associate ofScience degree in 1993 Bowersox went on to Baldwin-Wallace University. All of her Tri-Ccredits transferred and she earned her Bachelor ofScience degree in Chemistry, allowing her to graduateon time and without debt, which enabled her to go on to medical school at the College of Medicine and Life Sciences at the University of Toledo. After completingher residency and internship at the Albany MedicalCenter in New York, Dr. Bowersox returned toNortheast Ohio as an Obstetrician/Gynecologistphysician with the Cleveland Clinic, bringing her fullcircle; she was born in the Clinic’s Fairview Hospitaland is now delivering babies there.

Looking back on her time as a student at Tri-C, Dr. Bowersox recalls that the professors were all top-notch and that she met some amazing people at the College. Her instructors were innovative and dedicated, willing to spend extra time with her outside of the classroom to make sure that she really understood what she was learning, which prepared her well for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). Dr. Bowersox said the faculty understood why the students were there, what they were trying to accomplish and were sensitive to the

fact that many of the students were balancing work and class schedules, which was much appreciated.

Dr. Bowersox is grateful for the educational foundation she received at Tri-C and believes in supporting current students in their educational pursuits.

“Tri-C truly allowed me to dream big and succeed. Tri-C showed me what I was capable of and gave me the tools to be successful, which is why I support the Tri-C Foundation scholarship funds.”
