Title

Board of Trustees - 1966

Description

The Board of Directors of the Area Ten Vocational Technical School held its first organization meeting fortuitously in the Kirkwood Room at the Roosevelt Hotel on May 18, 1966. The newly elected Board of Directors was sworn in prior to the meeting by Ira Larson (right). Original Board members were: (left-right) Max Lewis, John Gerber, Lewis Dreibelbis, Robert Davidson, B.A. Jensen, Morris Allen, Paul Wolfe, M. A. Macallister, and James Sauter. Fortuitously, the oath of office was taken in front of Governor Samuel Kirkwood's portrait for whom the school would later take its name in 1969.

Memorials - Oliven, Dr. Mel

Description

Dr. Mel Oliven, astronomy and physics professor 1968-1975, died unexpectedly in an air plane crash on March 5, 1975. This photo was taken in 1971 at an all-college open house. The Mel Oliven lecture series was initiated in his memory to educate Kirkwood students and the public on scientific and environmental issues. Dr. William S. Blagen, population ecologist from Iowa State University, delivered the first lecture on May 15, 1977. This is the longest running lecture series at the college and is made possible by the Oliven Endowment of the Kirkwood Foundation.

Title

Buildings - Linn Hall

Description

Linn Hall is the first permanent building on the main campus. Construction began in 1968 and was ready for classes Fall 1969. Indicative of Kirkwood's "can-do" spirit, the college contracted with two contractors to help speed the construction to avoid paying increasing rent charges to lease office and classroom space throughout the city of Cedar Rapids. The dedication was held on October 26, 1969. The building was re-dedicated on August 14, 2014 after three years of major renovations.

Title

Kirkwood, Samuel statue

Description

After students petitioned the Board of Directors for "a more humanized name" rather than Area Ten Community College, a lengthy process ensued until just the right name was found. The Board approved the name Kirkwood Community College on August 25, 1969 out of the 160 proposed names. The name was selected in honor of Samuel J. Kirkwood, who served as governor and U.S. Senator of Iowa and U.S. Secretary of the Interior during the mid-to-late 1800's. He was involved in the development of higher education in Iowa and valued the importance of vocational training. The statue, which is a replica of the one that still stands in the U.S. capitol rotunda, was gifted to Kirkwood from the University of Iowa in 1974. It stood in the Linn Hall lobby from 1974 until 2014 when it was moved outdoors to the roundabout at the front entrance.

As with his predecessor, Dr. Stewart used bold and imaginative actions along with the Board and staff to make needed changes. During his term, Kirkwood deepened and expanded services in Benton, Cedar, Johnson, Jones, Iowa and Washington counties. A key project was the system of two-way audio/video communication to county centers. It allowed students in remote locations the ability to earn college credit close to home. This microwave system was the first of its kind in the nation. International education opportunities were broadened and expanded.

As the concept of community college developed during his term, schools took notice of Kirkwood's educational model. In turn the college was invited to join the prestigious League for Innovation. The League was founded in 1968 with the intention of providing direction for experimentation and innovation in community college education.
