Staff at "The Montage" highlight the campus' dynamic and united community.
The April 9 fight at St. Louis Community College at Meramec does not define the institution of higher learning, The Montage says in a staff editorial that calls for all students to be treated with respect and as members of the community. The campus came under the media spotlight after a bystander video of the fight was posted to YouTube. "Meramec students define success through their values, not the values depicted in a YouTube video," The Montage writes. The editorial highlights characteristics of the campus that make it strong learning environment, such as personalized attention from instructors, the ability to develop networks and real-world opportunities. Read the staff editorial, "United We Stand as One Meramec." Related content:

"There is still much work to do," says Joe Chesla, Meramec sculpture professor who took his students to volunteer in Joplin last weekend.
Weeks after the Joplin tornado hit, Rebecca Shaffer, a St. Louis Community College-Meramec art student, went to Joplin as part of a volunteer group to help in the reconstruction process. Shaffer was speechless when she saw the devastation, she said. “As an artist, it was visually devastating,” Shafer said. “I thought, ‘How can I make this place more beautiful.'” Shaffer said she returned from Joplin a changed person. Shafer went back to her art professors at Meramec to see if she could get other fellow students to join her in her trip. Last weekend, the first group of Meramec sculpture students went to Joplin to give their time and physical strength in two days of volunteer work. “As an artist I am drawn to action,” said Joe Chesla, …

A soccer player for the St. Louis Community College Archers balances priorities to adjust to STLCC's new districtwide athletics program.
The 2011-2012 school year has brought about some major scheduling changes for St. Louis Community College (STLCC) sophomore women's soccer player Allison Ring. Ring, a student in the culinary program at the STLCC Forest Park campus, is in her second season playing in the STLCC's soccer program. Last year, she played for the Forest Park Highlanders soccer team. After the STLCC sports teams merged into a districtwide team called the Archers, Ring had to make some hefty adjustments to her work, commuting and school schedule. Pam McIntyre, president of the Wildwood campus, said that last year the STLCC system experienced statewide budget cuts that reduced the amount of money that the colleges could use for their operating budget by around $3.3…

Archer coaches focus on the benefits of the districtwide sports merger.
Women's soccer coach Juergen Huettner is content. The sports teams that existed on each of the three campuses of St. Louis Community College (STLCC) merged into one district team called the Archers, and for Huettner, the dynamics of the move are positive. A recent merger diminished sports in the STLCC system from 15 to 7 after budget cuts forced the university to reduce overall costs by as much as 3.3 million. After the merger, the STLCC Archer women's soccer team moved its home base to the Meramec campus. The team gets a soccer field. At the Forest Park campus the team had to share one with St. Louis University High School, Huetten said. “This is ours,” Huetten said as he looked out at the Meramec soccer field. “We can dictate when we …
