2015 Annual Report - Hawkeye Community College
CHANGING LIVES ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Foundation Foundation 1 Dear Friends On behalf of the Hawkeye Community College Foundation and the students, faculty, and staff of Hawkeye Community College, THANK YOU for your ongoing support of education. Not long ago, a scholarship recipient sought me out at a community event, and with tears of gratitude she said the most heartfelt thank you I have ever heard. She recounted her desperate attempts to find employment before earning her high school equivalency diploma through the Hawkeye Community College Metro Center. It was there she discovered her ability, but still waivered in her confidence. With the urging of staff members from the Metro Center, she made the commitment to earn her associate degree at Hawkeye Community College and graduated in May 2014. She will finish her bachelor’s degree at a local university in May 2016 and she is already looking at master’s programs. While I was very impressed with her academic accomplishments, it was what she said next that was most important, “Without Hawkeye Community College, I would never have believed in myself. The scholarship that was given to me was an opportunity. Thank you for everything you did to help me.” She continued, “There are more people like me in our community. They have so much potential, but we have to find a way to help them see what is possible!” Our staff and board members have the privilege to hear these stories firsthand, but the real heroes for our students are our donors. You are providing access to a high quality, life-changing education. We see new opportunities to help students each day, and through your continued generosity, we are able to help more students each year. The opportunities to support the college are endless and range from providing scholarships to program funding and faculty development funds. We hope you find inspiration and validation in the stories of this report. These are lives that are impacted because you have helped them to see what is possible! Holly M.

Awa was born and raised in Dakar, Senegal, where she graduated from the Institut Africain de Management with a degree in finance. As an adult, she was successful in her career working in various transportation and financial businesses in her home country. She met her husband when he was visiting Senegal for a family wedding. They married in 2010 and Awa came to the United States in 2012. Although Awa has a degree from Senegal, it is a very lengthy process to have it translated to determine which credits would transfer or apply toward a degree in the United States. She decided to start classes as she waited for the process to be completed. [ When asked about the opportunities she sees for the future, Awa stated, “The United States is like paradise. If you work for it, you can have so much!” The United States is like paradise. If you work for it, you can have so much! ] Awa strives to have a professional job like she had in Senegal. She knew she needed to speak English fluently and her mother-in-law encouraged her to attend Hawkeye Community College’s Metro Center for English Language Learning (ELL) classes. Awa took an English class and earned good grades. At that point she felt ready to enroll in college courses. Laura Hidlebaugh, an ELL instructor, mentored Awa and recognized that she needed more English classes to be successful. Awa reflected on that decision, “I listened to Laura. My English really improved over the next year. Laura is an amazing teacher and became a great friend. I loved my classes at the Metro Center. The instructors want people to do well. They knew what I needed to be successful and they pushed me.” 4 Anna Laneville, a transition specialist at the college, became another mentor for Awa, “Awa is a leader,” Anna said. “She is strong, resilient, and a role model. She doesn’t give up.” “I met Anna a year ago,” Awa explained. “She is vital to me being successful. It was hard to come to campus, but she showed me the way. She was there for me at the Metro Center, and she is here for me on Main Campus.” A transition specialist serves as the vital link for students, serving as mentors and transitioning them from programs at the Metro Center to post-secondary training. A specialist meets one-on-one with students and guide them through the enrollment process. After college classes start, the transition specialist continues to support students through regular meetings and check-ins. Anna loves her job, “I get to help people see their own potential. It is there – they just don’t know it. I help them discover their own strengths and then provide access to education. These are people who live in our community and they are helping to improve the community in which they live.” Anna stated, “Awa is very well respected by students at the Metro Center. Many students look up to her. When I ask students if they know Awa, their eyes get big – they are proud of her because they know she is already successful.” “ When I found out I received a scholarship, I started to cry. I thought – wow that is money! It was such a relief. Thank you! ” STUDENTS SUCCEED Awa started classes on the Main Campus in 2015. “On the first day of school I was nervous. I was scared. I told myself I have a lot of people behind me and I needed to keep pushing myself.” Her classes include reading, writing, and math. Awa made another connection at Hawkeye with a reading and writing instructor, Ellen Sonnet. “She helped me a lot. She would also push me. She knew I could do it.” Awa’s message to others is, “If you want good grades, there are many people who will help you succeed at Hawkeye Community College. I love my classes.” Many of Hawkeye’s students balance work, family, and school on their education journey. Awa is a parttime student taking classes in the morning. She also works second shift at Tyson – full time. She has been offered promotions at work and did not accept them, as she decided to focus on school right now, “I don’t know how I do it – sometimes I am overwhelmed and exhausted. I work in production safety. Many of my co-workers ask how I do it. I tell them Hawkeye is very good and they need to start at the Metro Center and improve their English. Anna will help them transfer to campus. I push them.” To learn more about scholarships and providing opportunities to students studying at the Metro Center, please contact the Hawkeye Community College Foundation. Dear Donor, It’s with humility and profound gratitude that I accept this scholarship. We Believe in You award allowed me to pay my tuition. I appreciate your recognition of my efforts. Going back to school wasn’t easy for me. The main obstacle was that I do not qualify for financial aid and I have to pay for school on my own. This scholarship will enable me to focus on my studies without financial uncertainty. Again thank you for your generous and meaningful gift. ~Awa Paying for college is stressful for Awa. “I prefer not to owe anyone money. I am paying for college myself.” Awa received the We Believe in You Scholarship to attend Hawkeye Community College. “When I found out I received a scholarship, I started to cry. I thought – wow that is money! It was such a relief. Thank you!” Awa has learned so much over the past few years. She is currently enrolled in the Business Administration program, and she is determined to earn her degree. Hawkeye Community College will continue to support Awa as she pursues education – connecting her with resources to help her succeed. HUMBLE. HONEST. HARDWORKING. These three words describe Awa’s character through this educational journey, and these characteristics will help her continue to build a strong future after earning her degree. Anna Laneville and Awa El Amin 5 THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING An endowment is a fund that is invested and the principal remains intact in perpetuity or for a defined time period. Earnings on the endowment create a source of revenue to fund the specific interest of the donor. Samuel Waite Program: Natural Resources Management – “I chose the program more for the love of nature. I like taking care of nature and spending time outdoors. I love this program.” Why Hawkeye? “I chose Hawkeye because of the Natural Resources Management program and because it was accessible.” Future Goals: “My goal is to obtain a position in land management, particularly with woodlands or prairie.” Best Thing about Hawkeye Community College: “I like the relationship between the professors and the students. The professors take time to get to know their students. The small class size is great.” Hawkeye Community College Foundation received a $445,000 gift through the estate of Lloyd R. Dilley and Donald L. Dilley. This endowed gift established the Lloyd R. Dilley and Donald L. Dilley Memorial Scholarship, which provides scholarships for Bremer County high school graduates in specific programs. Currently two $5,000 scholarships are awarded annually to students. The value education brings to students, their families, and our community is made even stronger through the ongoing support of our donors. You have the power to make a lasting impact on Hawkeye Community College students through a planned gift. Your planned gift will benefit the college’s students, faculty, and programs for many generations to come. Gifts large and small are important. Charitable giving is not only for the wealthy! Consider making a gift from your estate to Hawkeye Community College. 6 Words to Donor: “Thank you. I would like to express my gratitude. It is nice to know that someone established a scholarship to specifically help students seeking a degree from Bremer County.” “ I chose the program more for the love of nature. I like taking care of nature and spending time outdoors. I love this program. ” ~Samuel Zachery Kuhlmann Program: Landscape and Turf Management – “I first started at UNI to major in athletic training. Then I changed to criminal justice. Then I started my job at Weeds on Fire and I really liked it. I thought why not try a program in school related to my job. I am on the right track now.” Why Hawkeye? “I like that the college was close to home.” Future Goals: “I would like to work in the field related to my current job.” Best Thing about Hawkeye Community College: “It is a good school. My program is hands-on learning. I get a lot of experience with a lot of different types of projects.” Words to Donor: “Thank you. I was very surprised when I received the scholarship. It was a great honor when I learned it was a memorial scholarship. Financially it made a big difference.” 7 Charles H Dalton Jr. Scholarship “ The Foundation made it so easy to set-up this scholarship to honor my father. The scholarship turned out to be exactly what my father would have wanted to do. ” sold the business to his employees when he retired in 1986. Charles served on the Waterloo Board of Education from 1966-1973, serving as president from 1970-1972. He and his wife, Betty Landgraf Dalton, a Waterloo East graduate, understood the importance of education, especially career and technical training. Through the years he hired many Hawkeye graduates and often had students apprentice with his highlyskilled technicians. Charles H Dalton Jr. was a civic leader – helping to continually improve the community in which he lived. He wanted to provide opportunities for others to improve themselves and his legacy continues as a scholarship established at the Hawkeye Community College Foundation to help students achieve their educational goals. The Charles H Dalton Jr. Scholarship was created by his daughter, Ann Dalton. “My folks set such a wonderful example for us by getting involved in and giving back to the community that meant so much to them. My motivation for starting this scholarship in my dad’s name is to fulfill his dream of encouraging young men and women to continue their educations beyond high school – to find success and fulfillment in a career as satisfying as his was.” Charles was a proponent of young adults pursuing careers in the trades and industrial arts. He especially wanted these students to be committed to the hard work and excellence required for a career in the trades. Ann recalled, “He knew his success in the community depended on a team of well-trained service professionals. Dad’s forte was the nuts and bolts of the business; his employees added their technical skills to the mix. It turned out to be a great – and very successful – business model.” He started Dalton Hardware in 1949 and it became Dalton Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling in 1959. He 8 As Charles was very involved in the Waterloo school system, the scholarships provide financial support for Waterloo graduates. Two $2,500 scholarships are awarded annually to incoming students from the Waterloo Community School District who are pursuing a degree or diploma in an Industrial and Engineering Technology program. The students must demonstrate financial need and have a minimum high school grade point average of 2.5. Preference is given to students with a 3.0 GPA or higher, as well as to female and minority students. “The Foundation made it so easy to set-up this scholarship to honor my father. The scholarship turned out to be exactly what my father would have wanted to do.” As demonstrated throughout Hawkeye Community College’s history, the college successfully graduates professionals who are workforce-ready and who offer a competitive advantage to area employers. In order to continue giving students access to a quality and affordable education, additional scholarships are needed. The cost of college should not inhibit individuals from achieving their goals. An investment with Hawkeye Community College provides a better quality of life for those who live, work, and raise families in our community for many generations to come.
