We remain cautiously optimistic about state financing and are planning for stability in the near term. In the coming year we will focus on developing three-year planning and budgeting cycles with the intention of ensuring we provide consistent and sustainable service to the community. Moreover, these extended planning horizons set an environment of effective and thoughtful stewardship. The executive administrative team has been invigorated with the addition of Mark Bryant, Vice President of Human Resources and Dr. Erin Vines, Vice President of Student Services. I joined the team on July 1. The depth and breadth of the experience of this team will serve the college well as we meet the challenges before us. Our priorities for the year include: • Establishing budget practices to strengthen and maintain our infrastructure • Incrementally increasing access for students • Streamlining our service processes to more efficiently meet student support needs • Reviewing the organizational structure of the institution to ensure efficiency of operation Measure R bond fund projects have been completed and the funds exhausted. The new facilities are open and in full service to the institution and the community. On behalf of the entire college, I thank you for the opportunities you provided, and the beautiful facilities added to our campus. Edward T. Knudson The college is fiscally sound with a financial reserve and, with the stabilization of the state budget, access for our students will gradually be restored. Enrollment projections for the new academic year show a recovery pattern. We hope to serve approximately 1,000 more students this year than last. We have reached the midpoint in our accreditation cycle having presented our formal midterm report to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The college is well-prepared and making continuous progress in meeting the accrediting standards. Being accountable to our community and our profession is the right thing to do. 2 A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T Further, attention must be given to our technology infrastructure, the physical plant, developing a thoughtful and data-driven planning platform, and well-designed enrollment strategies to ensure access and completion opportunities for our students. I want to thank the community for its continuing and sustained support for our college. It is truly a beautiful campus and a very special environment for meeting community and student needs. Our purpose is to support the social and economic vibrancy of the Antelope Valley. Thank you for entrusting this magnificent facility to us. We are honored by the opportunity to serve. Edward T. Knudson Superintendent | President Antelope Valley College AVCCD Board of Trustees Michael R. Adams Steve Buffalo Jack Seefus Lew Stults Betty Wienke Russell Bierle, Student Trustee AVC Administration Edward T. Knudson Superintendent | President Dr. Erin Vines VP Student Services Mark Bryant VP Human Resources Enriching Lives, Building Futures The Antelope Valley College Foundation The Antelope Valley College Foundation serves to assist the college, its faculty, students, and staff by enhancing educational success through financial support. We are able to reach our goals of providing financial support through the generous contributions of our many donors listed in this Annual Report. These donations are the building blocks upon which the Foundation is able to generate continuing financial support to students, faculty, and staff at Antelope Valley College. Our students are always our highest priority in that they are the keys to a successful future. As the college continues to face uncertain financial challenges, the continuing support of our donors becomes even more important. In 20122013, the Foundation awarded nearly $145,000 in scholarships, raised more than $618,000 in tax-deductible donations, and provided more than half a million dollars in financial support to the college. By virtue of the college’s accreditation with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), Antelope Valley College students are in position to have their class credits accepted by any other scholastic institution. Whether the students are preparing to move on to a four-year institution, take vocational classes for a job in the future, or obtain certification in areas such as a paramedic, police work or nursing, the accreditation of the college and the affordable tuition offers our students opportunities that are without limits. As we begin the 2013-2014 school year, both the AVC Foundation and Antelope Valley College start the year with new presidents in place. It is my goal as the new foundation president to move forward and expand on the efforts of my predecessor, Lena Grand Weber, and to support our new college president, Mr. Ed Knudson, in any way possible. Chuck Church As we look to the future, the Foundation’s growth and success over the last decade is owed to many generous individuals, companies, corporations, and foundations. On behalf of the Antelope Valley College Foundation and our Board of Directors, I want to thank everyone in the community for their commitment and support of Antelope Valley College and our students. Respectfully, Chuck Church President, Antelope Valley College Foundation A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T 3 Faculty Profile: Dr. Ed Beyer What started out as a last-minute request to fill in for an aerospace co-worker led to a big change in Ed Beyer’s life. Beyer found himself serving as a substitute instructor in an evening math class. While in class—he can still remember the moment—a woman student seated in the second row, third seat from the front cried out, “I understand it!” “It was an ultimate teacher moment that changed my life,” said Beyer. The satisfaction of helping a student learn to solve a math problem set Beyer on a path to pursue a teaching career. A Navy veteran, Beyer worked 17 years in aerospace for Lockheed Martin and Computer Sciences Corporation before making the jump to the public sector and education. His first full-time education job was at Cerro Coso Community College in Ridgecrest where he divided his time between serving as information technology director and computer instructor. His extensive background in computer hardware and software in the private sector helped bring a wealth of experience to the classroom. Then in 2000, he was hired for a full-time teaching position in Antelope Valley College’s Business, Computer Studies and Economic Development Division. Having graduated from AVC with an Associate in Arts degree in computer information science, Beyer had wanted to return to the valley. Computers had changed significantly from the time Beyer purchased his first primitive model in 1981—a Timex Sinclair 1000. “It was $99 from Thrifty’s and you had to hook it up to the TV,” Beyer recalled. “Those were fun times,” Beyer recalled of the early days of home computer technology. After upgrading to one computer that had 64,000 bytes of random access memory (RAM), Beyer recalled thinking: “This is so cool. I will never need more than 64K of RAM.” Of course, now computers boast of RAM capacity in terms of gigabytes rather than just bytes. In the classroom, Beyer views each student in a computer lab as having his or her own unique problem to solve in the learning process. “I love teaching. When you’re teaching in the computer lab, there’s 25 different problems. You have to walk up and solve the problem right there,” Beyer said. 4 A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T Graduate Profile: Paul Abarquez ’11 AVC firefighter grad saves a life Quick action by a graduate of Antelope Valley College’s municipal Firefighter 1 Academy is credited with saving the life of a woman during a house fire. Paul Abarquez, who completed AVC’s academy in 2011 and was hired by the Kern County Fire Department last year, was working an overtime shift in Tehachapi when at 6:30 a.m. June 30 a call came in of an explosion and fire at a home. As Abarquez and fellow firefighters from Station 12 responded, “we saw smoke showing from maybe a mile or two away.” On arrival at the scene, “I pulled a hose line to the front door and the captain and I were getting ready to make entry.” However, as the captain entered the front door, he was met with extensive heat and smoke was already down to the floor—indications of an intensive fire. The captain made the decision to shift the attack on the fire to open flames on the side of the house. “It was at that time I heard two knocks and a scream” coming from inside the house, Abarquez said. “This room was so heavily involved in fire, I was thinking nobody could be alive in that room,” he said. With his adrenaline flowing, the young firefighter quickly moved forward and ran his hands along the bottom of the paneled exterior wall. Using just his hands, he ripped off a piece of the siding and wall insulation. Before his eyes, through the wood framing, Abarquez could see feet just on the other side of the newly created hole in the wall. “It was crazy when I looked in and saw her feet,” he said of the victim before him. “Her feet were right there!” Abarquez grabbed the woman by her feet and pulled the woman—whose clothing was on fire—through the opening. He reached for his hose line and opened the nozzle to create a “fog pattern” to douse the woman and cool her extensive burns. At that point, the engineer, a paramedic, took over treatment of the victim while Abarquez went back to knocking down the fire as other engine companies arrived at the scene. It was a remarkable series of events that led to the woman’s rescue. Had the firefighters entered from the front of the house—as originally intended—the victim may not have survived. Or, had the firefighters started dousing the flames in the room first, the intense heat from the resulting steam could have led to the victim’s demise. “…Right after, it was kind of surreal that the lady came out of that room alive,” said Abarquez. The victim was evacuated by air ambulance to a hospital. More than two weeks after the incident, the woman was reported to be hospitalized at a burn center with extensive third degree burns. A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T 5 Campus Updates Grad volunteers 2,000 Hours Former trustee dies A 2007 graduate of Antelope Valley College has returned to his alma mater to contribute more than 2,000 hours as a volunteer. Long-time Antelope Valley College trustee Don Ross died May 3 in Lancaster. Ross served on the college board 32 years until he stepped down from office in 1999. Cam Richards has put his extensive theater experience to use in the Performing Arts Theatre, as well as at the switchboard and executive offices in the Administration Building. “It keeps me busy and my mind active,” said Richards. “When you get to a certain age, that’s what you do—volunteer.” Richards has spent enough time at the switchboard in the Administration Building that he greets everyone with a wave and hello. The wave is a variation of what one might see by the “Royals”—the royal family —of England; a hand extended next to the head as if holding a light bulb, with a gently turning motion at the wrist. “I get to wave at everybody who comes in the lobby. I don’t care how many times you walk by, I’m going to wave.” AVC Transitions The past year was a time of significant transitions for the college administration with the retirement of Superintendent/President Dr. Jackie L. Fisher Sr. and the arrival of his successor as well as two new vice presidents. Fisher’s planned exit on June 30 was superseded by a traffic accident on April 7 that critically injured the president, leading to several months of rehabilitation. Sharon Lowry, former vice president of academic affairs, and Patricia Márquez, a retired faculty member, led intervals as acting president until the arrival of new president Ed Knudson in mid-June. Knudson, a seasoned administrator who has worked at colleges and universities in California, Oregon and Georgia was chosen by college trustees as Antelope Valley College’s ninth president. As a Vietnam-era Army veteran, Knudson’s 30 years of management experience includes four years as a non-commissioned officer in the Army, 10 years in the hospitality industry and 25 years in higher education. His most recent administrative post before coming to AVC was executive vice president at Moorpark College. Knudson earned both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from Oregon State University. In other transitions, Mark Bryant was named vice president of human resources; and Dr. Erin Vines was chosen vice president of student services. 6 A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T PBS NewsHour website features poetry by professor As part of the promotion for his book on Antarctica, Professor Charles Hood has recorded readings of three of his poems that can be found on the website for the PBS NewsHour. One of the readings from South x South can be heard at: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/art/blog/2013/06/charleshood-is-the-author.html Other readings are slated over a period of several weeks. The book, published by Ohio University Press, is winner of the 2012 Hollis Summers Poetry Prize. In addition, Hood was featured in an article in the Orange County Register. Foundation Scholar: Denilson Freitas An inquisitive mind and self-motivation have served Denilson Freitas well during his 26 years of life. Growing up in one of the poorest states in his native Brazil, Freitas didn’t have many opportunities available. “The schools were very bad where I went,” he said. At times the poorly paid teachers wouldn’t even come to work. When they did, the teachers had to cope with about 50 students per class in rooms with no windows or air conditioning in a tropical climate. “That experience changed my life because I started to believe in myself and my potential to develop ideas that could help my community and contribute to science,” said Freitas. The event provided affirmation for Freitas. “I’m not as crazy as I think because people do make things, they do create things,” he said. Freitas returned to Brazil with new inspiration. The teen was invited by a friend to visit the lab of a dental technician. It was there he came up with an idea that would improve their process for creating dental implants. His parents were poor. His father sold awnings for businesses. His mom cared for the three children and the home. Dental implants in Brazil are different than those in America—instead utilizing a more inexpensive method that involves metal. The family’s garage became Freitas’real classroom. “I just went to my garage and played with that stuff,” he said. “I noticed that one procedure could be done more efficiently if the welding process was divided into two stages: first an electrical welding to position the structure, for which I could develop a machine; then, the … welding to put them together.” “That stuff” included friends’ broken toys that he would fix in exchange for more toys. For Freitas, “playing with toys meant opening them and trying to figure out how they worked.” “That is how my love of physics began,” Freitas said. At age 16, Freitas decided to enter a Brazilian science and engineering fair, FEBRACE, with a two-person mathematical game he devised that would provide candy to the competitor who correctly answered questions. “The judges were so impressed with my project that I was selected to represent my country at the International Science and Engineering Fair.” About 7 million high school students from around the world compete annually in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with 1,600 of the best students invited to participate in a week-long gathering and competition in the United States. Freitas spent a week in Portland, Oregon attending the fair. physical sciences major. He works in the campus Learning Center as tutor in physics, chemistry and math. This past spring, he received additional financial help through two scholarships awarded through the Antelope Valley College Foundation. He was awarded $2,000 through the David P. Cooley Memorial Scholarship and $500 from the Dr. Magdalena Caproiu Scholarship of Excellence. Freitas has been accepted to the University of California, Berkeley, where he hopes to pursue a degree in electrical engineering or physics. However, the estimated $45,000 a year cost is proving to be a significant hurdle. He is considering a lower cost option through California State University, Long Beach. Or, he may need to return to Brazil to continue his education. “The whole system here is just more efficient. There are more opportunities,” he said. Through all the challenges, Freitas has maintained an attitude of gratitude—ever mindful of his childhood. He caught the attention of audience members and scholarship donors at the spring 2013 Scholarship Convocation when he went to accept his scholarship awards. He greeted both donors with a bouquet of flowers. Back in Brazil, his business provides an annual prize for the student science fair. “I believe in people. We just need the opportunities to grow,” Freitas said. The machine Freitas created took the place of a laborious and mistake-prone process. “The machine welded the structures in a very small interval of time, so the heat generated was not enough to expand and damage the metal structure,” he explained. The machine was a success and D-Tec Industry and Research (www.dtecindustria.com.br) was created to make the machines in the family garage and sell them in Brazil and other South American countries. “The ownership of the company did not make me rich,” he said, “but it helped me to save money to come to the United States.” With help from an American friend who lives in the Antelope Valley, Freitas came to the area and started attending Antelope Valley College in 2010. He has excelled in the classroom as a 2013 AVC Foundation Scholarship Convocation. A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T 7 Health and Sciences Building The opening of Antelope Valley College’s Health and Sciences Building—the last major construction project to be funded by local bond Measure R—was celebrated Sept. 27, 2012. Ceremonies opening the $52 million building featured a morning ribbon cutting with elected officials joined by community members, employees and students, followed by tours of the 105,085-square-foot-facility and presentations throughout the day. After morning remarks at the milestone event, guests gathered at the northeast interior entrance to the building for a non-traditional ribbon cutting utilizing an oversized DNA strand, pulled apart at the center. The building includes a nursing wing that resembles a modern hospital, including a surgery demonstration lab, cardiology lab, pediatrics lab and obstetrics lab. Other features include a Virtual Science classroom (planetarium), telescope observation deck and a Subway restaurant, which has proven to be one of the busiest shops among the franchise’s area locations. Celebrations included custom catering for thousands of students and guests, provided by franchise owners NPC Investments, Inc. Among the day’s presentations was “At the Leading Edge of Space,”a panel hosted by columnist Bill Warford and featuring some of the latest and most exciting innovators in aerospace. They included the nation’s first commercial astronaut Mike Melvill; Lt. Col. Tim Jorris, director of the Hypersonic Combined Test Force; John Kelly, program manager for the Flight Opportunities Program at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center; and Eddie Zavala, acting program manager for NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). 8 A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T Naming Opportunities Abound in new Building Following the opening of the award-winning, state-of-the-art Health and Sciences Building, donors have named two spaces in perpetuity through legacy gifts supporting AVC students. The building’s Computer Technician Lab was named as the Northrop Grumman Corporation Computer Technician Lab, in acknowledgement of a $5,000 donation to the AVC Foundation supporting the sciences. The lab is located on east side of the building’s second floor. Rooms 127A, 131 and 131A were named as the Stephen W. Langjahr Anatomy Preparation Laboratory, following a donation to the AVC Foundation by former students, professionals and family members on Langjahr’s behalf. In addition, trustees approved an honorary naming of HS 127 as the Stephen W. Langjahr Human Anatomy Laboratory in recognition of Langjahr’s “enthusiasm, innovativeness and his genuine concern for the biological sciences.” Langjahr has taught at AVC since 1972.

During the recent budget crisis, many wondered why the AVC Foundation couldn’t just give some of their donated funds to the college. The reason: the majority of those funds are earmarked for specific programs or projects. The AVC Fund can step in to the rescue! The AVC Fund is the annual giving fund that helps provide financial support where the needs for Antelope Valley College are the greatest. The AVC Fund is unrestricted, which allows the AVC Foundation to provide the annual AVC Foundation Grants, emergency support for our students or the college, or any other critical need that is unfunded. The AVC Fund is supported by your generous donations, including membership in the President’s Circle. Donations may be made annually, quarterly or monthly as required by our donors, and can be made through credit card, check or automatic payment through your bank’s online billing service. A gift of a dollar a day can make a difference in the lives of our students. We thank our generous donors to the AVC Fund, and look forward to increased participation to create a robust safety net in support of Antelope Valley College. 12 A N T E L O P E V A L L E Y C O L L E G E 2 0 1 2 | 2 0 13 A N N U A L R E P O R T AVCF Membership Societies: AVC President’s Circle Last year more than 50 business and community leaders demonstrated their leadership and support for Antelope Valley College through the AVC President’s Circle. The AVC President’s Circle was created to bring community and college leadership together in a united effort to ensure that Antelope Valley College excels at anticipating community needs and is equipped to meet them. degree, but the technical education that is used in local businesses is extremely valuable. The AVC Foundation exists only with the support of local individuals and businesses and the Foundation is able to provide grants to faculty and staff, scholarships, and assists where the need is greatest.” Members contribute $1,000 annually to the AVC Foundation, increasing support of student and college programs as well as helping to promote the importance of education in our community. While the Antelope Valley College Foundation supports the vitality and sustainability of the school and its students, it is also a community resource that aids individuals and businesses in their tax-deductible planned giving goals. Consult with your financial advisor, and then help us help you plan a meaningful legacy. Shirley and Gerry Sayles, President’s Circle members since 1999, believe in the benefit of President’s Circle support. “AVC is one of the most valuable resources in the Antelope Valley.
