Clarification on Gov. DeWine’s Comments Tonight
Effective date: November 11, 2020
Sent on behalf of President Michael Geoghegan
Tonight, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine offered very stark remarks about the spread of COVID-19 in Ohio. We understand the situation is serious, and presents unique challenges to each and every member of the EGCC community.
While tonight’s comments will not impact the operations of the college, nor change the protocols we have in place to reduce risk on our campuses, we did want to provide some clarification to one of his remarks regarding colleges and universities. The EGCC Fall Semester will NOT end after Thanksgiving. His remark was in reference to residential campuses. The current 16-week term will continue through Dec. 6. Our last 8-week term will continue through Dec. 20.
We have, as Governor DeWine noted, moved the majority of our classes online and reduced the number of students and faculty on campus. We are following all recommendations of the CDC and local health officials. Our goal is the health and safety of our students, staff and faculty.
We will continue to provide updates as they are available.
Thank you,

Statement on Governor DeWine’s $200 million Suport for Ohio’s Colleges and University
Steubenville and Youngstown, Ohio – Today, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced his intention to release $200 million in federal CARES Act funding provided to the State of Ohio to support colleges and universities through the COVID-19 crisis.
Eastern Gateway Community College Interim President and Chief Financial Officer Michael Geoghegan released the following statement:
“We are very appreciative of Governor DeWine’s support for Ohio’s community college, and his recognition of the difficulties experienced by our schools and our students as we continue to live through the COVID-19 pandemic,” Geoghegan said. “We already have a thoughtful plan to ensure the safety and health of our students, staff and faculty, while also continuing to deliver the academic programming our students need to succeed. We will carefully consider how to best use these new funds to make the biggest impact on the lives of those we serve.”
Earlier this year, Eastern Gateway Community College received nearly $1 million in direct funding from the federal CARES Act to minimize disruption to the college in the wake of the pandemic. It leveraged a portion of those funds to launch the EGCC Summer Guarantee allowing tens of thousands of residents of Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana and Jefferson Counties to attend college for free.
Eastern Gateway Community College does not have an estimate of how much of the newly announced funds it will receive. Additionally, leadership of the college has not determined how to use the funds.

Eastern Gateway Community College Launches Free Summer College for Students in Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana and Jefferson Counties
The EGCC Summer Guarantee will ensure no out-of-pocket costs for students with support from the federal CARES Act
For more information go to our EGCC Summer Guarantee Page
Steubenville and Youngstown, Ohio – Eastern Gateway Community College today launched the EGCC Summer Guarantee, which will allow students to take their Summer Semester classes at EGCC with no out-of-pocket costs, including tuition, fees and books.
For new, continuing and returning students who reside in the college’s service district (Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana and Jefferson), the EGCC Summer Guarantee will be a “last dollar” scholarship that will cover students’ out-of-pocket costs after Pell Grants and other financial aid eligibility is determined. This is also available to students who are enrolled at another college or university, but are back home in the service district for the summer.
“The federal stimulus bill, the CARES Act, provided funding to colleges to help cover the costs of transitioning to online learning during the coronavirus pandemic and to ensure students continue to receive their education, especially those students facing economic hardship,” said Interim President Michael Geoghegan. “As many other community colleges across the country have been hit hard by the sudden disruption of COVID-19, Eastern Gateway Community College’s national leadership in online learning provided some stability and continuity for our on-campus students.”
Prior to its full-scale conversion to distance learning in response to COVID-19, 88 percent of Eastern Gateway Community College students were taking at least one online course. EGCC has had a relentless focus on delivering quality education at an affordable price, and have used technology to enable that mission. While disruption to campus operations was significant, just a small percentage of its courses were unable to transition because of the laboratories and clinicals that require in-class participation.
To be eligible for the EGCC Summer Guarantee, students in the service district must have completed a 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submitted an EGCC online application available here. Summer courses begin June 1.
“Summer Semester is the right time for students and displaced workers to get caught up and get ahead after the weeks of disruption and continued uncertainty,” said Geoghegan. “Our programs are affordable and accessible, without sacrificing any of the rigor our students, staff, faculty, and employers expect.”
Eastern Gateway Community College will receive just under $1 million in funding through the CARES Act to support students in their service district after academic disruption as a result of COVID-19. In addition to tuition assistance, the federal legislation provided funding for direct assistance to students to remove barriers to continuing their education. Eastern Gateway Community College is reviewing guidance and will provide additional information as it becomes available.

Ohio Students Benefit from Eastern Gateway Community College Online
Steubenville, Ohio and Youngstown, Ohio – Eastern Gateway Community College spent the last four years building a 27,000 student strong online campus, and it has made the college’s response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis successful and responsive.
“We recognized early on that students wanted online degree options. As a public, not-for-profit community college we were able to offer a quality education to students that often felt like college was out of reach to them,” said Eastern Gateway Community College Interim President Michael Geoghegan. “Fortunately, it also put us ahead of the curve in terms of offering courses online in response to the coronavirus pandemic. At the end of the day, we only had to convert 131 in-person courses to online.”
Prior to its full-scale conversion to distance learning in response to COVID-19, 88 percent of Eastern Gateway Community College students were taking online courses.
While many classes, such as general education, business and communications courses were natural fits for a virtual conversion, more hands-on programs offered an opportunity for Eastern Gateway Community College to find creative ways to offer workforce development certificates.
One example is welding. Hands-on welding experience and training is, obviously, a critical component of the program. However, faculty are finding ways to keep students by focusing on the practical aspects of their courses, and will then provide an intensive lab experience once in-person classes are possible.
Additionally, instead of suspending Spanish classes, Eastern Gateway Community College was able to consolidate its on-campus classes with the virtual classes offered to high school students through College Credit Plus.
As a result, only 4 percent of the courses were not able to be offered online. These courses include clinicals, labs, the Police Academy. Even tutoring and some other student support services were able to continue virtually, through the college’s use of programs such as Zoom. Even weekly career counseling services are being offered so that students can work on their resumes and make post-graduation plans.
“Our driving principle of this time was to put student success first, and that meant continuing classes so that academic goals and milestones can be met, but without sacrificing the rigor of the courses,” said Dr. John Crooks, vice president of academic affairs at Eastern Gateway Community College. “Eastern Gateway Community College graduates will be prepared for the workforce and future success.”
As a result of its proven online model and its commitment to innovative content delivery, Eastern Gateway Community College has also met students where they are. Vice President Art Daly went so far as to print materials and create packages for students to complete work.
“Eastern Gateway Community College is unique in that we have had great success building online programming, but we have never lost the personal touch. Our faculty has done a tremendous job responding to the needs of our students and doing what is necessary to keep them on track. The students trust us to have their back,” Daly said.
In addition to online programming, Eastern Gateway also extended its registration deadline, to allow more students to take advantage of online programs while staying at home.
“For people who put it off because they were busy with a job or taking kids to activities, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. And, it gives them an advantage as our economy recovers from this crisis,” said Geoghegan.

Eastern Gateway Community College Extends Suspension of In-Person Classes
EGCC continues online course registration through March 27
Steubenville, Ohio and Youngstown, Ohio – As part of Ohio’s ongoing response to the growing Coronavirus (COVID-19) threat, Eastern Gateway Community College will continue the postponement of in-person classes until Monday, April 6, 2020. Additionally, staff and faculty working from home will continue to do so until that date.
Previously, Eastern Gateway Community College suspended in-person classes through March 30, 2020, but extended the timeline in response to Governor Mike DeWine’s “Stay at Home” order. However, college administrators continue to monitor the evolving situation. As new guidelines and orders are issued by state officials, Eastern Gateway Community College will respond and make additional changes as necessary.
“Our guiding principle throughout this crisis is to put our students first and do everything we can to ensure their academic success,” said Eastern Gateway Community College Interim President Michael Geoghegan. “Our staff and faculty have been determined to support our students during a truly challenging time for us all, and everyone is doing incredible work.”
As a result of its investments in online education over the last 4 years, 88 percent of its students were already taking online classes. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Eastern Gateway Community College transitioned an additional 54 classes from in-person to online courses.
Students are still able to register for online classes through this Friday, March 27.
“We appreciate the patience our students have shown us as we continue this transition to online learning and take appropriate action to keep our community healthy and safe,” said Geoghegan. “It has not been easy, especially as our students, staff and faculty face challenges in their personal lives, but we are proud that everyone is working together to find solutions.”

Eastern Gateway Community College to Extend Current Registration, Expand “Last 8 Week” Online Term
EGCC will Postpone its May Commencement Ceremony
Steubenville, Ohio and Youngstown, Ohio – As part of Ohio’s ongoing response to the growing Coronavirus (COVID-19) threat, Eastern Gateway Community College will provide additional opportunities for students to succeed online during this challenging time.
The registration deadline for its current Spring Semester “Last 8 Week” courses will be extended to Friday, March 27. Additionally, students who were already registered for “Last 8” courses, which began on Monday, March 16, will have an additional two weeks to complete their coursework. The end of Spring Semester will be pushed back to May 24.
“The world has drastically changed over the last two weeks, and we understand the strains that our students are under,” said Eastern Gateway Community College Interim President Michael Geoghegan. “Some students have been unable to start their coursework, so we are giving them additional time to catch up. For others, this time at home could be a great opportunity to start working on a degree.”
In accordance with this new timeframe, Eastern Gateway Community College will suspend its May 23, 2020 commencement ceremony previously scheduled at the Covelli Center in Youngstown.
Students who have completed their program requirements will still graduate and receive their degrees.
“We are disappointed that we will not be able to celebrate the great work our students have put in to completing their degrees this May, but the uncertainty surrounding the spread of the coronavirus left us no choice,” said Geoghegan. “However, we will still confer degrees as we explore creative opportunities to celebrate our graduates at a later time.”

Eastern Gateway Community College Releases COVID-19 Response Updates, Changes to On-Campus Class Schedule
Steubenville, Ohio – After Governor Mike DeWine’s request yesterday for 2- and 4-year colleges to reduce the risk of spreading the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) by transitioning to online course completion, Eastern Gateway Community College established the COVID-19 Task Force to monitor the situation and make recommendations about on-going operations of the college.
“With 88 percent of our students already taking online courses, Eastern Gateway Community College is ideally situated to make this transition as seamless as possible for students, staff and faculty,” said Interim President Michael Geoghegan. “Our efforts will decrease the number of people on campus at any given time to reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19 in Ohio, on our campus and in our community.”
Highlights of the task force’s work today are:
● Previously scheduled online classes will proceed as scheduled on Monday, March 16.
● The Police Academy, ASPIRE and workforce development programs will continue as scheduled beginning Monday, March 16.
● Off-campus clinicals will continue as scheduled. Any changes will come at the direction of the clinical location.
● All other classes held on-campus will be canceled for Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17to provide time for faculty to return from Spring Break and make adjustments to their classes for the remainder of the Spring semester, including all terms.
● Faculty and staff will meet with administrators on campus on Monday, March 16, with an option to join virtually, to work through the logistical needs of transitioning classes online and which in-person classes are necessary to continue. Meeting details to follow.
“Governor DeWine’s guidance was clear. The rigor and completion of our academic programs was to continue, it was the delivery of those services that needed to change,” said Dr. John Crooks, vice president of academic affairs at Eastern Gateway Community College. “Decisions reached today by the task force were guided by our continued commitment to the success of our students.”
In addition to adjustments in course delivery, the task force provided, and will continue to provide, operational guidance for staff and faculty, including:
● Based on other Ohio colleges and universities, such as The Ohio State University, Eastern Gateway Community College is preparing plans for more flexible telecommuting opportunities, where appropriate, for faculty and staff during this time.
● Based on state guidelines, all non-essential travel will be canceled.
● Community-based events, such as the upcoming Career Fair, will be canceled through March 31, 2020.
The Eastern Gateway Community College Board of Trustees planned for March 18, 2020 will be rescheduled for April.
To protect all guests, students, staff and faculty, Eastern Gateway Community College will continue to heavily push messages on prevention methods, CDC risk factors – including travel – and staying home when sick. Additionally, it is working with its custodial vendors to use best practice cleaning methods.
“There are still many unknowns, but our task force will constantly monitor the situation and make prudent decisions to keep our staff, students, faculty and community safe while honoring our academic commitments to our students,” said Geoghegan.
