Brooklyn Hyatt Receives 2023 President’s Spirit of ECC Award

May 17, 2023 | Campus News

The 2023 President’s Spirit of East Central College award recipient Brooklyn Hyatt exemplified student involvement during the last two years.

She has served as the Student Government Association president, and she was a heavily involved member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and the Student-Missouri Teachers Association.

Hyatt, of St. Clair, took part in all these organizations while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average.

She was presented the award by ECC President Dr. Jon Bauer during the College Commencement Saturday, May 13. Hyatt graduate Summa Cum Laude with an Associate of Arts in Teaching.

The prestigious President’s Spirit of ECC award, formerly the Outstanding Student Award, recognizes one student who demonstrates exemplary academic excellence, and significant student involvement during their time at ECC.

Hyatt, a first-generation college student, also served as a Student Ambassador at ECC. In that role, she gave student tours and guided future Falcons. One piece of advice she gives to all new students, “I would tell them that they would benefit greatly if they put themselves out there more.”

“My relationships and bonds have astronomically benefited me socially and academically,” she said. “I wouldn’t have made it as far without knowing staff, faculty, and students. College is new to a lot of people, so you should just dive into new experiences.

“I loved being in SGA and it opened so many opportunities for me,” Hyatt added.

In addition, Hyatt received a Missouri Community College Association (MCCA) Student Leadership Award. She also was recognized by the MCCA and PTK for being named a 2023 All-Missouri Academic Team.

Transferring to SEMO

Up next for Hyatt is Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO), where she will continue toward a bachelor’s degree in education.

“ECC has done a marvelous job of preparing me for SEMO,” she said. “I feel extremely prepared academically,” Hyatt added. “Classes here are a lot like they are there, and I have a ton of transferable classes.”

She noted that the guidance of Greg Stotler, education/teacher coordinator and assistant professor, and Carson Mowery, coordinator of Campus Life and Leadership, helped prepare her for what’s next.

“Mr. Stotler and Carson Mowery were extremely instrumental in guiding me to SEMO and preparing me for the world and options as a whole,” Hyatt commented.

After she graduates from SEMO, Hyatt says she’ll begin a teaching career as soon as possible. She plans to continue her education after earning a bachelor’s degree and work toward a master’s degree.

In addition to being involved in clubs and organizations, and thriving academically, Hyatt also was a student worker in the ECC Foundation office and worked with ECC’s mascot Franklin the Falcon.

“I did a lot of work, but it never felt hard, and I was able to help more people than just my bosses,” she said. “I loved working with Franklin and making connection with people especially children. Seeing their eyes light up when they see him is similar to how I feel teaching.

“I enjoyed working with everyone at ECC, Hyatt added. “They are so kind and willing to help. ECC is just a brilliant place to be and was certainly a big part of my journey.”

ECC Students Named to Academic Teams

April 27, 2023 | Campus News ECC Rolla

Four East Central College students were named to the All-Missouri Academic Team, and one also was recognized nationally.

Kelsea Smith has been named a 2023 Coca-Cola Academic Team Gold Scholar and received a $1,500 scholarship.

Smith and Elise Jeffers, ECC Rolla; and Brooklyn Hyatt and Annika Brunner, Union campus, were named to the 2023 All-Missouri Academic Team. The students were recognized by Missouri Community College Association (MCCA) and the Phi Theta Kappa national honor society at a ceremony sponsored by MCCA on April 13.

Each student received a medallion and certificate to honor their achievement along with a $250 cash scholarship underwritten by MOHELA (MO Higher Education Loan Authority). The Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society, along with participating corporate partners, sponsors the Academic All-USA competition for students attending two-year colleges.

PTK ranks applicants nationally, then forwards results for students to the MCCA. The top 53 students statewide were named Academic All-State award winners.

ECC annually nominates two to four students per site for the All-USA Team, which automatically qualifies the nominees for the All-Missouri Academic Team. Nominees complete a lengthy scholarship application, including information about their campus and community activities, and details and a letter of recommendation regarding a “significant endeavor” done during their time as a community college student.

Coca-Cola Academic Team

Smith’s Coca-Cola Academic Team honor is sponsored by the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, which recognizes 50 Gold, 50 Silver and 50 Bronze Scholars with nearly $200,000 in scholarships annually. Each scholar also receives a commemorative medallion.

Smith and other Coca-Cola Academic Team members were recognized internationally during PTK’s annual convention, PTK Catalyst. Which was held in Columbus, Ohio, April 20-22.

“We thank the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation for recognizing these student leaders and for investing in their futures,” said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, president and CEO of PTK. “Scholarships like these are integral to the success of these students in reaching their educational and career goals.”

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation celebrates and empowers visionary leaders who are refreshing the world by supporting more than 1,400 exceptional college students each year.

PTK is the premier honor society recognizing the academic achievement of students at associate degree-granting colleges and helping them to grow as scholars and leaders.

Donna Hall Named Outstanding Student Leader

May 18, 2022 | Campus News

Donna Hall, Warrenton, was presented with the East Central College Outstanding Student Leader for Spring 2022 for her leadership in the ECC Union Psychology Club and Chi Delta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa.

Hall was presented the award May 11 at the Campus Life and Leadership’s Spring 2022 Union Student Achievement Night.

Nominations for this award are submitted by club advisors, and the winner is chosen via committee. The award recognizes one student annually from Union and Rolla for exceptional leadership skills and abilities.

Hall was nominated by Dr. Rachel Howard, instructor of psychology and sociology, and the club co-advisor for the Union Psychology Club. She was selected for her exceptional leadership skills and abilities.

“She collaborated with both clubs to work on events like Kindness Week activities, and made and handed out the Hugs bags,” Howard said. “She was instrumental in the psych clubs service project when we made ornaments and cards for individuals in nursing homes.”

“(Hall) helped collect, deliver and even brought in many of the supplies used for this activity,” she added. “She often takes the lead on many of the projects or activities we plan.”

Hall also has been heavily involved as an officer with the PTK. She has worked on many PTK projects, including the gathering and packing of items for people experiencing homelessness in Franklin County; and the collection and distribution of snacks, books and may other items for soldiers serving overseas.

Hall graduated Magna Cum Laude May 14 with an Associate of Arts Degree.

PTK Provides Funds to Extend Spring Meal Program

May 18, 2022 | Campus News

The East Central College Foundation’s Food for Falcons program was given financial boost this spring to help keep the trial running longer.

The Chi Delta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society contributed financially to assist in extending the program from four weeks to six weeks, according to Bridgette Kelch, executive director of the Foundation. The program ended April 28.

Food for Falcons began as a four-week trial program to provide one free meal each school day, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., for all students at its Union campus. It was started to help thwart food insecurity for students on campus.

Food insecurity is an issue impacting all areas, and ECC is doing what it can address it, Kelch said.

“The Food for Falcons trial was very eye-opening for us here at the college,” she added.

The Foundations pilot program ran, as planned, for four weeks from March 21 through April 14.

Kelch noted that during that time it cost the Foundation $7,344.30 in food costs, and to pay a student to work in the café to help with the sudden hike in the number of meals served.

When the four-week trial period ended April 14, there were questions if some students would have any access to even one meal each day.

That’s when the Chi Delta Chapter of PTK stepped in with the offer to assist in keeping the program going for two more weeks.

“We were thrilled when PTK contacted us and wanted to extend the trial program. We are very grateful for their support of their fellow students,” Kelch said. “Now the Foundation and ECC administration are discussing the possibilities of a semester-long program in the fall, and its costs.”

Once the program wrapped up for the spring semester on April 28, there were 1,746 meals served in 23 days at the cost of $11,458.30.

How it Works

During the six weeks of the Food for Falcons students, were required to show their ID in the school cafeteria and could choose from a variety of breakfast or lunch options.

“We know some of our students are skipping meals due to limited resources,” said Kelch, who credits ECC President Dr. Jon Bauer with the idea of providing complimentary meals.

Dr. Bauer had learned about a similar program being offered by Ozark Technical Community College which provides a free breakfast for students, she explained.

Kelch said offering food assistance should lead to better and more successful outcomes for students, which benefits the greater community.

Hunger can force students to drop out of school to work more, or perform poorly in their classes, she added, all of which inhibits academic success. ECC also offers a food pantry on campus which students can access at no cost.

Mier Family Shares the College Experience at ECC

May 10, 2022 | Art Campus News

Sarah, Ethan and Ryan Mier may be on different educational journeys, but to reach their destinations, the mother and her sons are taking the same path — East Central College.

Sarah, 42, is the mother of Ethan, 21, and Ryan, 18. The family of ECC students live in St. Clair with, their father and husband, Andrew Mier.

“I love attending ECC with my boys — this kind of thing doesn’t happen very often, and it wasn’t planned at all,” Sarah said. “I never thought that I would be going back to school with my children.”

Sarah will be walking across the stage at the ECC Commencement ceremony this Saturday, May 14, while Ethan plans to take one more course at ECC this summer. Ryan will attend ECC through the 2022-23 school year.

Sarah, the president Phi Delta Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, is studying social science and she plans to attend Central Methodist University to work toward a degree in social work.

Ethan’s path is leading him to Webster University, where he will pursue a degree in Computer Animation. Ethan recently was part of the ECC Theatre Department’s “Puffs” and he is a member of the Art Club.

Ryan expects to graduate from ECC in the spring of 2023 and then he will pursue a degree mechanical engineering from Missouri S&T in Rolla.

“All our paths have been different here at ECC and each of us have had different struggles and strengths,” Sarah said.

“I am grateful that ECC has been a part of our journey together,” she added. “All three of us have been able to grow together academically and as family. I am blessed that we had this unique opportunity.”

None of the Miers have had classes together this semester, but they still would see each other on campus, which is, “always a nice surprise and makes my day,” Sarah said.

“We’re always excited to see each other because we don’t have any classes in the same buildings at the same times,” said Ethan.

“My mom and I only interact when I walk past her in the student center,” Ryan added. “She often just asks how I’m doing and sends me on my way.”

Ethan noted that he and his mother had one class together last summer, an online art appreciation class.

“We were able to study together over the summer,” he said. “We were able to help each other study with some parts and help with different forum posts.”

The Mier Home

With three college students under one roof, it is easy to understand why the Mier home looks similar to a dorm room at times.

“Our home a lot of days looks like a library spilled over into it, or it looks like an art studio,” Sarah said. “There are always backpacks and books on the kitchen table, and I would not have it another way — I know at some time, I am going to miss it.”

She added that the challenges of going to college full-time are made easier with the support of her husband.

“I think it’s great,” Andrew said. “Sarah and the boys are going through and experiencing a lot of the same things and they relate to each other very well.

“I am happy to support them in any way I can — whether it be extra chores around the house or running to the store at the last minute for art supplies,” he added. “This is time together that they will look back fondly on.”

Proud Mother

Sarah noted that experiencing college alongside her sons offers a unique insight that she may not have otherwise.

“I am beyond proud of my two sons,” she commented. “They are two vastly different people, yet just as equally smart and talented.

“Ethan’s creative mind blows me away, he can see the beauty in anything,” Sarah added. “He has a God-given gift that will take him far in life. He makes me laugh every day.”

For Ryan, Sarah said, his knowledge, skill, and curiosity of computers and technology are incredible.

“Ryan’s ability to look into a computer, break it apart and then want to know how that works and program it to do more is awe-inspiring,” she said. “He will be writing programs to better the world one day.”

Although Sarah recognizes how bright her children are, what impresses her the most is how they treat others.

“What I am most proud of is that both my boys are kind, caring, and compassionate human beings,” she said. “They will put all things aside when I am having a bad day just to sit with me and make me laugh.”

Family Background

All three of the Mier students are St. Clair High School graduates. Sarah was part of the Class of 1998; and Ethan and Ryan graduated from SCHS in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

Sarah joined the U.S. Air Force after high school. She met Andrew Mier while they both were stationed at Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville, Ark. After Ethan was born, Sarah stayed home while Andrew continued to serve in the military.

As is typical with families in the military, Sarah added, the Miers moved often.

“With moving around so much and raising a family, school was never an option,” she said.

However, her opportunity would come after Andrew retired from the Air Force and then earned a degree in early childhood education.

“As soon as Andrew was done it was my turn to go to school, and it just so happened to be at the same time my boys were also attending college,” Sarah said.

Initially, Sarah planned to take online courses, just as her husband had done.

“I was also going in that direction, and at the last minute I changed my mind and decided that in-person learning at ECC was a better decision for me,” she said.

Sarah noted that in-person classes offered many more experiences and opportunities than online-only courses could.

“I could not be happier with the decision that I made,” she added. “The education, connections and experience here at ECC has been amazing.”

PTK Collects Snacks for Military Units Overseas

April 27, 2022 | Campus News

The Chi Delta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at East Central College in Union collected snacks and donations to purchase items for U.S. troops serving overseas.

ECC students, employees and community members all generously chipped in to provide snacks, card games, word puzzles and more to the military members. United States. Packages will be sent to three different locations. The packages go to a unit, not just a troop.

“PTK is humbled to be part of this experience and proud of our ECC community for the support that it has shown for our troops,” said Sarah Mier, PTK Chapter president. “This is a small way we can say thank you for the sacrifice that they give for us.

“Thank you to all our service members and veterans,” she added.

In the photo commemorating the collection, PTK members and advisors wore “#22” shirts to raise awareness for veterans, Mier said.

“On average, 22 veterans a day sadly make the decision to take their own life,” Mier commented. “We are wearing these shirts to bring awareness to this devastating issue and let the veterans at ECC know that they are not alone, if they are struggling there is hope and help.”

Any veteran who is struggling can call the veterans crisis line at 800-273-8255 and press 1.
