Classified Staff Association

CSA Spotlight Award

The mission of the Spotlight Award is to recognize a classified staff member each semester who has gone above and beyond their role at East Central College.  They are nominated and then elected by votes from ECC employees for their commitment to excellence for the betterment of students, faculty, and staff.

Fall 2025 Recipient Jon Noelker

Jon has dedicated years to ECC and student success. He is a highly sought-after specialist tutoring countless ECC students (AY 24/25 Jon had over 560 tutoring sessions). He has also made a strong impact in community tutoring by tutoring dozens of middle and high school students from our surrounding communities. Jon dedicates himself to any task he is assigned, most especially helping redesign the employee evaluation. Jon is quick to jump in and volunteer, from working on weekends to teaching courses in emergencies. He is a consummate professional and so incredibly smart. He is an asset to our Learning Center and ECC.

Fundraisers

The Classified Staff Association has often held two fundraising events per year, one during the fall semester and the other during the spring semester. The funds raised go towards our Scholarship fund, which is awarded to a non-traditional student with at least a 2.5 GPA or higher, and/or to our General fund, which supplies gifts/awards to CSA members, the CSA celebration event each summer, Falcon Fest, or supplies as needed, etc.

We had an AMAZING Spring 25 Penny Wars, and because of all the wonderful contributions and employees, we raised the bar again with another record of $1820.54! We can not thank everyone enough for the fun competition and for making this such a great fundraiser!
