Chairman's Letter
2014-15 NWF State College Foundation Annual Report

The Northwest Florida State College
Foundation is pleased to present
you with this annual report which
spans two fiscal years. You will find
that the health of the Foundation
is strong with total assets residing
at just under $50 million. In the
most recent fiscal year, more than
$500,000 was disbursed in student
scholarship awards and $850,000 in support to the college. I
have had the privilege of hearing directly from students who
have indicated their lives have been transformed by your
gifts and I know their success is linked to the support of the
foundation’s many donors.
President’s Letter
and successes include a new Veterans’ Success Center,
designation by the Military Order of the Purple Heart
as the first-in-Florida Purple Heart College, our first
graduating class for the Bachelor of Science degree in
Early Childhood Education, the largest combined class
of Associate in Science and Bachelor of Science Nursing
programs in the college’s history, several sold-out Mattie
Kelly Arts Center events, and not to be forgotten, our
2015 NJCAA Division I National Championship titles in two
sports - Men’s Basketball and Baseball!
Ty J. Handy
Providing access to an affordable
education and opportunities for our
students to succeed is at the heart
of Northwest Florida State College’s
mission of improving lives. We are
truly grateful for the community
support we receive to make this a
reality for so many of our students.
For the third consecutive year, NWF State College was
included in the Aspen Institute’s College Excellence
Program, placing it in the top 10 percent of community
colleges in the United States. Additional accolades
The Foundation board accomplished many things during
the period of this report, the most important of which was
implementation of the NWF State College Foundation’s
Strategic Plan. This Strategic Plan has established a
framework for success which has bolstered the organization.
I am grateful to our Foundation directors, who not only
served a 16-month term rather than the typical 12-month
term, but whose work to advance the mission of the
Foundation has been inspiring.
We look forward to strengthening our existing
relationships while seeking new donors and corporate
partners to help meet the college’s ever increasing need
for student scholarships, program support, and other
college priorities. Thank you for all you do in support of
Northwest Florida State College!

2015 Northwest Florida State College Alumni Awards
Rising Star
2nd Lt Elvira N. Chiccarelli is a graduate of

Following graduation, Chiccarelli was offered
an appointment to the United States Air Force
Academy, where she distinguished herself
academically, served in numerous leadership
positions and was a member of the Varsity Swim
Team. While at the academy she volunteered as
mentor to middle school girls and was chosen
to participate in several cultural and academic
programs abroad, traveling to the UK, Asia and
France. Currently in her third year of medical
school at Tulane University she is enrolled in the
Honor’s Program, an elected representative on

2014-15 NWF State College Foundation Annual Report
Against the Odds
6
Dr. David Lambert was recently named Chief Scientist of the
Munitions Directorate at Eglin Air Force Base. Dr. Lambert,
credits hard work, determination and Northwest Florida
State College for putting him on a career path to success.
His love of math and science took root at NWF State College.
Having grown up in a single-parent household in low income
housing he remembers help he received along the way,
and pays it forward at every opportunity by taking time to
mentor and teach young scientists and engineers who follow
in his footsteps.
Distinguished Alumus
Dr. Sam McCall, a graduate of the charter class of
Okaloosa-Walton Community College, holds a Bachelor of
Arts Degree in Accounting from the University of West Florida
and Master and Doctoral Degrees in Public Administration
and Public Policy from Florida State University. Dr. McCall
served the Florida Auditor General from 1969 to 1999 and
as Deputy Auditor General from 1986 to 1999. Following his
“retirement” he served as the City Auditor for the City of
Tallahassee from 1999 to 2013. He is currently enjoying his
third career as Florida State University’s Chief Audit Officer.
Christopher Bennett
Associate in Science in Nursing
He’s packed a lot of living in his 26 years – he’s seen a lot,
done a lot and experienced a lot for one so young. Chris
Bennett was born and raised in Niceville and attended
elementary, middle school and high school in his home
town. After his high school graduation, he joined the
Marine Corps and served in Afghanistan’s Helmand
Province as an infantryman before leaving the service
and setting his sights on a college education.
Chris is a member of NWF State College’s Nursing class
with a scheduled graduation date of May 2016. Upon
completion of his degree and licensure, he would love
to work in an Emergency Room, ICU or with cancer
patients. “It’s an honor for me to be with patients
in the hard times of their lives, to hear their stories
and share in some of their life experiences.” he said.
Eventually Bennett would like to continue his education
and become a Nurse Practitioner with a goal of one day
joining other colleagues to form a practice of their own.
A recipient of the Eglin Federal Credit Union/Thomas
Braswell Scholarship, Bennett believes being a returning
student gave him some advantages. “I had some ‘life’
under me and took my studies very seriously. I came
to NWF State College because I wanted an education
and had no intention of wasting the opportunity.
Receiving the EFCU/Braswell Scholarship has helped me
tremendously. Taking away some of the financial worry
really makes my class and study time much easier.”
Bennett currently carries a 3.2 GPA in the Nursing
Program and gives back to the college by serving as a
tutor for students needing some assistance in Anatomy
and Physiology.
When discussing his experiences at NWF State College,
Bennett compliments Dr. Ted Barker, Dr. David Schjott,
Dr. Jean Mitchell, Dr. Vickie Hunt and Mr. Chris Mizell for
their classroom instruction as well as their willingness
to spend before and after classroom time explaining
concepts, answering questions and serving as mentors.
When Chris Bennett receives his nursing pin
at the culmination of his studies, he will have achieved
yet another goal. He won’t be given his pin; he will have
earned it!

Hayley Woods
2014-15 NWF State College Foundation Annual Report
Associate in Science in Nursing
26
Hayley Woods has faced some big obstacles in her young
life, but she has faced them head on, climbed over them
and has kept her eyes on the prize. Hayley’s prize is an
Associate in Science in Nursing degree from Northwest
Florida State College. The 2014 graduate of Fort
Walton Beach High School is a recipient of the Air Force
Association/Jim Shambo Scholarship and she admits
being accepted into the highly competitive nursing class
was a crowning achievement for her.
One of the most challenging obstacles she has faced is
living life with a portion of her heart missing. “I have
had three open-heart surgeries and grew up knowing
my physical limitations. I couldn’t do a lot of exercise or
participate in sports like other kids, so I knew I would
have to concentrate on other extra-curricular activities,”
she said. One of those “other extra-curricular activities”
has been serving as a Raider Rep Student Ambassador.
Her duties as a Raider Rep include giving tours to
students and parents considering NWF State College as a
college destination.
As a student, Hayley especially enjoyed biology classes
with Dr. Patrick McArthur. “Dr. McArthur’s teaching
style is very engaging. It’s evident he’s passionate about
his subject, and students can’t help but feel the same
way. He helped me so much as I was preparing to take
the HESI nursing entrance exam. He encouraged me
and told me to have confidence in my abilities and my
knowledge,” she said.
The abilities and knowledge she talks about are essential
as she begins NWF State College’s nursing program.
Knowing it will be difficult isn’t a deterrent. She’s lived
with difficulties and knows what it takes to surmount
them, so her goal of an Associate in Science in Nursing
degree and a career as a pediatric nurse are well within
her reach.
