“The JCCC Debate team closed out the first semester with one of their most successful tournaments of the season this weekend at Illinois State University.
The team of Brenden Brower-Freeman and Jesse Nation won the junior varsity tournament championship after defeating Kansas City Kansas Community College on a 3-0 decision in finals. They earned the second seed of the tournament after a 5 - 1 preliminary round record with victories over KCKCC, Lindenwood, Concordia College, and Illinois State University.
The team of Alexis McMahon and Fernando Cardenas finished in third, with a quarterfinal debate against the University of Minnesota to advance to the semi-finals. There they were matched up against the higher seeded JCCC team of Brower-Freeman and Nation and thus did not advance to the finals, finishing in third place for the tournament.
In the varsity division, typically reserved for students in their junior or senior season, the team of Daniel Plott and David Cuellar advanced to the elimination rounds before losing in the quarterfinals. This is the third time this year that Cuellar and Plott have advanced to the elimination rounds of a varsity tournament.
The team also won four individual speaking awards. In the junior varsity division, Cardenas was recognized as the sixth overall speaker and Brower-Freeman was 10th. In the varsity division, Cuellar was recognized as the fourth speaker and Plott was 10th.”

“JCCC and Ottawa University signed an agreement Tuesday that will allow JCCC students to earn a bachelor’s degree from Ottawa at a reduced cost.
With the signing, JCCC president Terry Calaway and Ottawa president Kevin Eichner created a pathway called OttawaU at JCCC. In January, Ottawa will begin offering classes at JCCC that will lead to bachelor degrees in human services, health care management, business administration with a marketing concentration, and public administration with a management concentration.
The bachelor degrees, available only to JCCC students, allow students to take up to 80 credit hours at JCCC and the remaining junior and senior-level classes through Ottawa. Ottawa will be offering scholarships to students who take their classes, which could allow students to save up to 40 percent on the completion of their bachelor’s degree.
Ottawa also will be setting up its classes in a way that will allow a student to complete a degree at an accelerated pace.
To learn more, visit OttawaU at JCCC Transfer Advantage.
Additional information is available.”
But I’ve a sinking feeling I’ll have to address some of those aspects in the context of my thesis. I can’t just gloss over important facts.

“The No. 1 ranked JCCC women’s basketball team improved to 10-0 on the season with an easy 84-43 victory over Central Methodist JV Wednesday night. The win also extended JCCC’s home court winning streak to 29 games.
Sophomore forward Kathleen Brisbane led the Lady Cavaliers with a game-high 20 points. She was 9-of-12 from the field, a perfect 2-of-2 at the line. Sophomore guard DaShawn Harden poured in 17 points, 14 in the second half, and freshman guard Sameia Kendall added 15 points. Those three players combined to shoot 64 percent from the field (21-of-33).
