THE COLLEGEHISTORY OF THE COLLEGEOn October 29, 1965, the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio, completed a survey financed jointly bythe Jefferson County commissioners and the Steubenville Area Development Council to determine area needs fortraining and education. The Battelle findings indicated a definite need for post- high school technical education,prompting the creation of the Jefferson County Technical Institute District. The institute was chartered for operationon September 16, 1966, as a public two-year institute by the Ohio Board of Regents, and a Board of Trustees wasappointed in compliance with Chapter 3357 of the Ohio Revised Code. Area acceptance and support for thetechnical institute was confirmed in fall 1966, when Jefferson County voters approved a one mill, 10-year levy toassist in the support of the facility.An 84.7-acre tract of land in the northwest section of Steubenville, Ohio, was obtained by the trustees andconstruction of the building began in October 1967. Less than one year later, on September 23, 1968, the doorsopened to admit the initial class of 320 students. Phase II of the campus building program, providing a second floor onthe library, a nursing skills laboratory, student lounges, classrooms, and expanded parking lots, was completed inearly 1972. In 1976, Phase III construction doubled the space in the lecture hall to 300 seats.In 1976 and 1986, Jefferson County voters approved 10-year renewals of the one mill levy. The Ohio Board of Regentsapproved a name change for the institute to Jefferson Technical College in 1977.In fall 1978, Phase IV was completed, providing three outdoor tennis courts and two outdoor basketball courts.Phase V was completed in winter 1983. The health wing addition and room renovation provided the college with threenew labs, two classrooms, and six faculty offices. The computer center was remodeled to accommodate a newcomputer. In addition, space was converted to the individualized industrial engineering lab.Phase VI was completed in early 1989 and includes three computer labs, a business/industry conference room andcomputer services facilities.Phase VII was completed in fall 1993 with renovations to existing offices, construction of new offices and workspace,and the conversion of a large open court area into a fully enclosed year-round student lounge.In 1992, the Board of Trustees empowered a citizens’ committee to study the idea of converting the college to acommunity college. The committee proposed the change in June 1993. In October 1993, the Ohio Attorney Generaldetermined that the college could transfer the local levy to a community college operation. In September 1994, theOhio Board of Regents approved a request from Jefferson Technical College to expand its charter from technical tocommunity college. In February 1995, the Ohio Board of Regents approved a five-year operation plan and TheHigher Learning Commission approved the change in the College’s Statement of Affiliation Status to include theAssociate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees. On July 1, 1995, Jefferson Community College began officiallyserving the public.In March 1996, Jefferson County residents voted to replace the one mill technical college levy with a one mill levy tooperate the community college for 10 years. The levy was renewed in 2006 and again in 2015.Phase VIII was completed in August 1996. In addition to repairing the first floor of the health wing, a second floor wasadded. This floor contains one classroom, four labs, and nine faculty offices.In 2004, EGCC acquired a vacated business structure adjacent to the main building on the Steubenville Campus.Following renovation of the first floor, the Department of Workforce and Community Outreach moved into thetraining center in 2005. The first floor holds two computer labs and four classrooms, as well as office space, and workareas. The renovated second floor opened in 2011 with a wellness center and administrative offices.7 P a ge
Following the University System of Ohio’s Strategic Plan and recommendations from an implementation committee,the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation in 2009 to expand the college’s service district and to change its nameto Eastern Gateway Community College. The college now serves Columbiana, Jefferson, Mahoning and TrumbullCounties with several locations. In addition to the main campus in Jefferson County, the college offers classes at itsYoungstown Campus in Youngstown as well as Choffin Career and Technical Center, and Trumbull Career andTechnical Center. In July 2016, EGCC applied to the Higher Learning Commission for branch campus status for theYoungstown location. The site was approved as a branch campus by the ODHE in that year and underwent a HLC sitevisit in June 2018. Final branch campus status approval was awarded with the Higher Learning Commission in July2018.In March 2018, Eastern Gateway Community College in Steubenville broke ground on a major renovation that willhouse student services for all students, including admissions, registrar, financial aid, business services, tutoring,testing, career development, disability services and the book store. It will allow space for students to collaborate in openmeeting and gathering areas. This project will also upgrade the College’s Wi-Fi capabilities to cover the entire campus.The new student services space is expected to open in Fall of 2018. Through the State Biennium Capital Bill, theCollege will be able to complete the exterior improvements to the renovated student service area and create a newand dynamic entry way into the College. Additionally, capital dollars have been allocated to upgrade security featuresat the Steubenville Campus. These improvements are expected to be completed in Fall 2018.Since 1968, over 60,000 different students have enrolled in one or more classes for credit applicable to a highereducation degree or certificate or in a non-credit course.MISSIONEastern Gateway Community College provides quality, flexible, innovative and affordable educational opportunities toserve our communities through helping students achieve success.VISIONCREATING OPPORTUNITIESCHANGING LIVESCORE VALUESIn carrying out its mission, Eastern Gateway Community College will manifest the following core values:Learning:We embrace lifelong learning as the key to future prosperity.Excellence:We commit to quality and excellence in all that we do.Affordability:We strive for the most affordable ways to earn a college education.Diversity:We promote diversity through educational opportunities.Opportunity:We believe educational access fosters economic opportunity.8 P a ge
