You know you're in Jeanine Howell's office when you see her not at her desk. Right there on the second floor of Takena Hall, there are several piles of documents, very well organized yet cluttered as well. There is a picture of two animated roosters, Oregon State and LBCC, right next to each other.
Jeanine started school and work at LBCC in the summer of 2003. Applied for the dual-enrollment program and was in to Oregon State and began taking classes at both campuses. While attending both schools, she worked part-time for the LBCC Career Services and was a manager at Oregon State’s Pangea Cafe.
She ended up graduating with a B.S. in Business Administration. She stayed with LBCC working for part-time in the Student Life and Leadership Group, Disability Services, and Student Assessment Center. This all amount to full-time within LBCC.
As of 2008, Jeanine has been full-time as the Program Assistant to the LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Program. Along with her clerical work, she advises, gives placement tests and instructs students on how to proceed with entering college.
“I like being able to utilize my knowledge and skills to do better, for everyone. Anything I can do to facilitate the process makes a difference in helping students register,” says Jeanine.
She is also involved with College Now, a program that helps high school students earn credits in high school. Just fill out some paper work, and the high school student has the potential to complete many of the first and second year prerequisites before even receiving a diploma. These classes are taught by approved instructors that articulate the coursework toward the college level. These credits have the ability to transfer to many other colleges and universities.
Jeanine Howell is a hard worker. Why? You are more likely to receive an e-mail or phone call than finding her in the office. She works on helping students dual enroll with Oregon State University and Linn-Benton Community College. She isn't all business; You will see a picture of her son, who she is so proud of and talks about regularly.
“My boss is always saying to me, ‘Where are you?!’ I tried you at your office and you’re there!’ He told me to get a will return sign. The funny thing is that I get so busy I forget to put it up.”
When you first meet Jeanine, you can feel a genuine vibe. Her time is very precious, yet she will find the time for you. Why? Jeanine believe in the success of people.
So while Jeanine is working full-time at LBCC, she is also working on her MBA at Corban University. She can relate to students with the stresses of college. Yet, she will always encourage you to better or keep doing well. She knows about the mediocre sleep schedule, the daily grind of homework and even more paperwork on top of that with her job. Yet, she will always seems to muster a smile whenever helping somebody.

“I want to bring something to my job, my students, and LBCC. We are here to help students succeed. It isn’t to do it for them, just to help,” she says.
