"Your
associate, Dick Witter, was
a grand match with our college.
He expertly provided the planning
assistance we badly needed.
As well, he readily shared
his years of experience and
hard-earned knowledge as he
guided us in developing our
plans. We feel it is the best
plan for a Title III Institutional
Aid Program grant we have
developed yet."

Director, Resource and Workforce
Development, Catawba Valley

"Without
JCCI there is no way that
we would have been able to
get a proposal organized and
in on time. Their skilled
personnel know colleges and
issues in higher education.
They "cut to the chase"
and asked the right questions
to get the answers they and
we needed in order to put
pen to paper. They know how
to respond to request for
proposals, how to organize
material for grants, and how
to write clearly. I would
highly recommend JCCI."

Program Evaluation!
That’s center stage today. As members

designing the best evaluation for your
institution’s programs and services.
We can help you answer such questions
as:
- Have you provided for
both formative and summative evaluations?
- Were your measurable
objectives achieved? If not, why not?
- What impact and results
did you really achieve?
- Were your implementation
strategies accomplished according to
plan?
If not, why not?
- What, beyond the measurable
objectives, did the project achieve?
- What impacts and outcomes
were there?
- How did the institution
change?

data-driven?
Contact
us to see how we can help

"I
have worked with Jennifer
Kerns and JCCI Resource Development
Services for several years,
as president of two different
institutions, Coffeyville
Community College in Kansas
and Iowa Western Community
College in Council Bluffs.
Jennifer always helped faculty
and staff to clarify what
they wanted to accomplish
and to plan how they would
get there. Her clear thinking
and good writing and editing
skills contributed greatly
to the grant and fund-raising
successes at each institution."
