Posted by Sally Shields on | Comments Off on Nursing Students Recognized
Spoon River College nursing students were recently honored in an informal pinning ceremony to mark their achievements in completing the Practical Nursing Certificate program. In addition to now being eligible to take the NCLEX-PN test, they are also on track to continue in the program to earn the Associate Degree in Nursing.
The SRC Nursing program offers the option of completing a practical nursing certificate at the end of the first year, at which time the individual is eligible to take the Practical Nursing licensing examination. Students may continue to the second year of the program, and after completion, are then eligible to receive an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and to write the NCLEX-RN examination for licensure. The program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), and is fully approved by Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
Instructors in the program are Becky Sherwood (director of the program), Penny Cozart, Judith Nolan, Sarah Strode, and Tonja Huff. The nursing program is available on both the Canton and Macomb campuses.
For more information about the Nursing program at Spoon River College, visit www.src.edu, or call 309-647-4645.

Posted by Sally Shields on | Comments Off on Nursing Students Awarded the Florence Nightingale Award
Spoon River College nursing students Caitlyn Behymer and Jessica Schabatka were chosen as recipients of the Florence Nightingale Award at the end of the spring semester.
The recipients for this award are determined by the students in the nursing program who can nominate a classmate that they feel exemplifies the traits of Florence Nightingale, who was described as tough, a brilliant administrator, a loyal and emotional friend, a compassionate nurse, and a witty companion. She instituted formal nursing education in 1860 with the founding of the Nightingale Training School for Nurses.
Both Behymer and Schabatka graduated May 11 with their Associate Degree in Nursing, and are now eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam.
The Spoon River College Nursing program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), and is fully approved by Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. For more information about the program, visit www.src.edu or call 309-647-4645.
Posted by Sally Shields on | Comments Off on SEA Members Plant Trees for Earth Day
Members of SEA (Students for Environmental Action) at Spoon River College recently planted 17 trees in honor of Earth Day near the entryway to the Canton Campus. They included eight autumn maples, four white dogwoods, three pink dogwoods, and two red buds. The Spoon River College Foundation assisted with the cost of the trees, and the SRC facilities team led by Mike Strauman assisted with the project.
SEA is an organization made up of and ran by students who not only promote the education about environmental sustainability in our community, but also act on it through setting up programs, fund raising, and education. Jim Sheff (Math faculty) is the advisor for the group.
Pictured are Amanda Koll, Savanah Smith-Coulter, SEA advisor Jim Sheff, Margaret Toothaker, and Mary Toothaker.
Posted by Sally Shields on | Comments Off on Jo Branson Named Assistant Dean
Jo Branson has accepted the position of assistant dean in the student services office, saying she was ready for a new challenge. She has served as the director of the financial aid office for the past 17 years.
“I decided to look into this new position because I wanted to continue to serve Spoon River College and the students in a role where I can be more creative, while still being close at hand to help mentor the financial aid office through the transition,” said Branson. “I look forward to working more closely with our advising staff.”
The position was created recently to provide extra support to the dean of student services in the areas of recruitment, retention, and other student support activities.
“Jo brings invaluable expertise and leadership to this role,” said Missy Wilkinson, dean of student services. “She will collaborate with college employees to develop and implement new student recruitment and retention initiatives, including identifying barriers to student success and implementing initiatives to address those challenges.”
Branson resides in rural Ipava with her husband Steve and their daughter Audry, who will be attending Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN this fall. When not working, Branson enjoys spending time outside, crafting, and taking care of her chickens.

Posted by Sally Shields on | Comments Off on SRC Announces Theatre Season for 2023-2024
The Theatre Program at Spoon River College has announced their season of plays for the 2023-2024 academic year. The program produces one play each fall and one play each spring.
For Fall 2023, SRC Theatre will present the 1962 absurdist drama Exit the King by French playwright Eugene Ionesco. The play explores death through the rapid decline of Berenger the First, king of an unspecified land. Four hundred years old at the time of the play, Berenger moves through recognizable stages of loss and existential confusion as his kingdom, in apparent sympathy with the King’s withering, gradually crumbles around him. Berenger is attended throughout by his first wife, his current wife, his doctor, his nurse, and one guard. The play includes gentle comedy as well as drama.
Spring 2024 will see the 1978 dark comic thriller Deathtrap by American playwright Ira Levin. Nominated for four Tonys and winner of the Edgar Award for Best Play, Deathtrap presents Sidney Bruhl—a middle-aged, once-popular writer of thrillers for the Broadway stage—enduring an alarming slump. Sidney concocts a plan to murder one of his student playwrights and produce the young man’s stunningly good play as Sidney’s own. Complicating the plan are Sidney’s wife, Myra, his lawyer, Porter, and Helga ten Dorp, the psychic next door. Deathtrap is a satisfying thriller with plenty of laughs as well as surprises and twists.
Performances of Exit the King are November 3-5, 2023, while Deathtrap will run March 1-3, 2024. All SRC Theatre productions are presented in the Taylor Hall Theatre on the SRC Canton Campus. Participation in productions is open to current SRC students as well as residents of the Spoon River College District. Open auditions for each upcoming show will be announced. For more information, contact Douglas Okey, director of the SRC Theatre Program, at 309-649-6308.
