“From day one, everyone at FVCC has helped me out
immensely. They have been hugely supportive and have made
it easy for me to adjust to college after 30 plus years of not

I am learning new skills that I can apply anywhere.”

“The economic recession caused a lot of hardships
for me. My employer cut my hours, making it very
difficult for me as a single mom to pay my bills and
prepare for the birth of my daughter. I now am taking
online classes at FVCC and preparing to apply for
the practical nursing program. The online classes
are great. They enable me to stay home and care for
my baby. The nursing program is going to help me
get a better job and provide me a more flexible work

The FVCC Foundation welcomed a record crowd of 170 scholarship

meet the student scholarship recipients. Donors were acknowledged
for contributing over $253,701 in private donor scholarship awards,
and 222 students were recognized for receiving the awards for the
2009-2010 academic year.
A tearful Marni Thomas presented an emotional address to
scholarship luncheon guests about the impact the scholarships she
received have made on her life and the lives of her children.
The FVCC Foundation hosted 527 guests at the spring and summer
tours of the Bibler Home and Gardens, generating $6,488 to fund

off with a special event featuring a wine reception and an exclusive
tour of the Bibler’s collection of fine art presented by FVCC Art
Instructor John Rawlings.
The FVCC Foundation awarded $10,018 to fund three FVCC faculty
Enhancement Grants for the 2009-2010 academic year.
Awards included:
• FVCC Tree Farm Management Project for $4,823; the
award was used to purchase much needed equipment to
maintain the college’s poplar tree test site;
• Faculty Training on Patient Simulators for $2,695; the
grant funded simulator training for nursing, medical
assistant and paramedicine faculty in order to provide
students with more interactive learning experiences; and
• Specialized Interactive Anatomy and
Physiology Program for $2,500; the award was
used to purchase interactive software to better
prepare health care students for successful
careers in their fields of study.
A&A joined FVCC President Jane
Karas for a fall event in the new
Scholars Center featuring speakers
from the Scholars program and a
high tea presented by the culinary arts
students. In the spring, A&A hosted a
number of president’s luncheons and
a president’s evening at Suzy Williams’
home to update guests on students and
programs at FVCC.
The Foundation’s Ambassadors and Alumni (A&A), whose
mission is to serve as advocates for the college, hosted several
