Its purpose is to provide high-quality educational programs and services, primarily in career preparation and general education, to people of all ages and educational backgrounds. MCC is the second-largest postsecondary institution in the state and has the largest and most diverse enrollment of the six community colleges in Nebraska. MCC offers more than 100 career programs in business administration, computer and construction technologies, nursing and allied health, social sciences and services and visual and electronic technologies. In the past academic year, more than 52,000 credit and noncredit students have been educated at one of our three main campuses, four satellite centers or through online courses. MCC was created in 1974 by the Nebraska State Legislature and is governed by an 11-member board of governors. The Metropolitan Community College Foundation advances the comprehensive mission of Metropolitan Community College by creating community awareness, building and nurturing meaningful relationships and connecting community partners with giving opportunities that fulfill their philanthropic objectives. Established in 1977 as a separate, not-for-profit, IRS-approved 501(c)3 corporation, the MCC Foundation provides financial support for students, faculty, staff, programs and facilities. The Foundation is led by a Board of Directors comprised of volunteer community leaders who represent a broad cross section of the College’s four-county service area of Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy and Washington counties. “The Foundation scholarship I received was life-changing. My most significant goal for my three-year-old son is to lead by example and show him the importance of education. The scholarship has begun a legacy of learning in my family. ” MARTINA GERALDS scholarship recipient YO U R G I F T. T HE I R F U T U R E .

OUR PRO MI SE . 3 M ESSAG E F ROM M CC FOU N DATI O N ’S P R E S ID E N T Last October, I passed the gavel of the Metropolitan Community College Foundation Board to my successor. At that moment, as I reflected on what it means to lead this remarkable organization, I was struck by two thoughts: First, your gifts to the MCC Foundation make a real and lasting difference for students. And second, those students make a real and lasting difference for our region. Did you know that more than 95 percent of MCC graduates stay, live and work right here in the four-county area. I wonder…where would we be without those people in our lives? How would goods and services be moved across our state; could Nebraska continue to serve as a hub for national logistics and transport? How would accident victims make it to the hospital and receive immediate professional nursing care when they arrive? How would local manufacturers build the goods that are cementing our economic recovery without the precision machine operators to make it happen? L A R RY JOH NSON MCC Foundation President Chances are, as you go about your day, the lasting value of Metropolitan Community College touches your lives in countless ways. Your generous support of the MCC Foundation helps more students gain the skills they need to contribute in real and lasting ways to our communities’ growth and development. Thank you for partnering with us in this important work. Sincerely, YO U R G I F T. T HE I R F U T U R E . OUR PRO MI SE . 4 M ESSAG E F ROM M CC ’S PRES I D EN T Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of meeting with many different community groups and organizations and have visited with hundreds of people from around our four-county service area. Through those visits, I’ve received important input about the community needs R A N DY SCHMA I L Z L that MCC can help MCC President address. Those needs are great, but if we work together, our potential for meeting them is even greater. It is with your input in mind that MCC has reaffirmed our commitment to these primary goals: • Assist students in reaching their goals Whether they are here to learn a trade, transfer to a four-year institution or just want to enrich their lives through lifelong learning, our students’ educational goals are our goals. • Provide workforce–relevant education Our nation’s economic recovery can only be strengthened through the flexible education community colleges develop with their industry partners. Together we can address skill gaps and help get people back to work in family-supporting jobs. • Continue to serve as good neighbors and community partners MCC values the neighborhoods where our locations stand, and we strive to be a ‘can-do’ partner that strengthens community improvement efforts. We pride ourselves in creating opportunities that ‘take the classroom to the community’—service-learning, volunteering, internships and practicum experiences provide education that can be life-changing—for faculty and students, as well as our neighbors and communities. • Drive the incorporation of technology across curriculum and operations Technology touches every aspect of education—from the classroom to the automotive lab to the instructor’s desktop. MCC strives to be a leader in teaching technology across the curriculum and ensuring that our students and staff have the 21st century skills they need. • Make lasting investments in campus facilities and innovative programs Our recently completed facilities master plan provides a road map to the College’s future investments. Once complete, our learning environments will foster even more creativity and achievement and help our region meet some of its greatest challenges. • Return the community’s investment Most well-paying jobs in today’s economy require some college education. When residents of our four-county area exit MCC programs, they are equipped for the workforce, equipped as citizens and demonstrate a daily return on our collective investment in them. We appreciate your trust in what we do, how we do it and why we do it. We could not do what we do—making a difference in the lives of our students—without your continued support. Every day we, as a community, reap the benefits of education that truly makes a difference. Education that changes lives for the better. We are honored to have you as our partners as we continue to impact so many—yesterday, today and tomorrow. Sincerely, YO U R G I F T. T HE I R F U T U R E . OUR PRO MI SE . 5 WAYS TO SUP PORT OU R STU D EN TS At the MCC Foundation, we believe that education has the power to change lives for the better. If you share our view, we invite you to make a positive impact through your financial support. Your gift can make a difference by supporting: •SC HOLA RSH I PS FOR TU I TI ON , B O O KS AN D F E E S For approximately $6,000, you can support a student earning an associate degree—about a quarter of the cost of a four-year college or university. •ST UDE NT S U CC ESS I N I TI ATI V E S Students with associate degrees earn about $1.6 million more over the course of a lifetime (source: U.S. Census Bureau) than those with only high school diplomas. Every bit of education received after high school increases the chances of better wages and a stronger workforce and local economic base. •PROG RA M A N D D EPA RTM EN T G ROW T H F U N DS Staying workforce-relevant requires constant upgrades in technology and instructional techniques. Your support helps our programs stay current and ensures our students graduate workforce-ready and competitive in the job market. •BUILDING A N D FAC I L I TI ES EN HAN C E M E N TS Help MCC address double-digit enrollment growth and help address community needs through your gift to support capital improvements. The MCC Foundation offers many options for those who wish to make a gift to support MCC through financial contributions of cash, securities, stock, personal property, life insurance or a bequest. In-kind gifts of goods and services are also a unique way you can provide resources to the College to help leverage support for fundraising or instructional activities. Gifts may be designated for a currently established fund or donors may create a new endowment fund for a pledge of $5,000 or more, which may be paid over a period of five years. Please visit our Ways to Give page at www.mccneb.edu/waystogive/ on the MCC Foundation website or contact the MCC Foundation at 402-457-2346 for more information. “I support the Foundation not only because of how it impacted my life but how it continues to impact the lives of countless others who are looking for a way to better their lives through education. For many students, the Foundation scholarships can make a difference in whether or not completing a degree will be possible. It did that for me!” DEBRA LAHODA MCC student services advisor YO U R G I F T. T HE I R F U T U R E .

A diverse, talented and educated workforce leads to a better community. The first MCC Express location, scheduled to open in spring 2012 at 24th and Vinton streets, will strengthen the educational levels of our community and close the growing gaps between industry needs and workforce readiness. This site was made possible through the generous support of local architects, landlords and donations from philanthropic partners like you. The site will offer a continuum of services from adult literacy through specialized workforce training programs that help students effectively transition to college-level coursework or employment. Core services include individualized basic skill building; Read Right Reading program tutoring; accelerated GED programming; English-as-a-Second Language classes; help in accessing college and community resources; workshops on career exploration, goal setting, test–taking strategies, health literacy and financial literacy; skills assessment and career planning; and job training. “It is because of our donors’ generosity, vision and dedication to the well-being of this region and its citizens that we are now better able to serve the community through the new MCC Express. Donor assistance has allowed us to expand and enhance our offerings to provide a more comprehensive level of basic skills education and support services. While some funding comes from federal and state support, those monies only provide the minimum level of support. Private gifts are what has made the difference and what is essential to allow us to fully meet the needs of individuals working hard to move forward and obtain economic self-sufficiency.” SUE RAFTERY MCC dean of literacy and workplace skills YO U R G I F T.

With the support of the Gordman family, students and faculty at MCC’s Institute for the Culinary Arts worked to create the cookbook in honor of their friend and fellow student, the late Brandon Thomas (Andrea Gordman is Brandon’s mother). He was 21-years-old and a few credits shy of completing his culinary degree when he was fatally injured in a traffic accident in 2010. This unique project utilized talented students from a wide range of disciplines—business/marketing, photography and culinary. season with sage Edited by Nichole Aksamit In Brandon’s memory, his family created the Brandon Michael Thomas Culinary Arts Memorial Scholarship at the MCC Foundation and underwrote the printing for the cookbook. All proceeds from the book are donated to this scholarship fund. The cookbook can be purchased for $24.95 plus tax at www.mccneb.edu/seasonwithsage and at MCC’s Sage Student Bistro, Category One, Lo Sole Mio Italian Restaurant and Slattery Vintage Estates. Seasonal menus and timeless cooking techniques from the Institute for the Culinary Arts at Metropolitan Community College “The generosity and entrepreneurial vision of the Gordman family allowed MCC students from numerous academic programs to apply their knowledge and skills to this real–life project. From writing recipes to taking photos to drafting a marketing plan—these tasks were completed as a labor of love. All proceeds from the Season with Sage cookbook will feed the Brandon Thomas Culinary Arts Memorial Scholarship, helping make the dreams of future MCC culinary and hospitality students come true.” JOELLEN ZUK MCC culinary arts instructor YO U R G I F T.

Project Bridge provides consultation, counseling and support to internationally trained healthcare workers in the region. In addition to consultation and support in obtaining the appropriate professional credentials and licenses for their profession, Project Bridge presents participants with multiple opportunities to diversify their careers in the healthcare field. These opportunities may include choosing a different healthcare occupation offered through a community college or university or focusing their skills and experience in the areas of healthcare management, research, advocacy, teaching or policy. Transcript translation and credential verification currently cost approximately $500 per person. MCC offers a Scholarship for Service program that allows students to earn $100 per ten hours of community service up to 30 hours of service. This support requires a minimal out-of-pocket investment from each student, thanks to the generosity of donors to the MCC Foundation. “Project Bridge not only provided me with the money to take the U.S. Medical Licensing Step 2 Clinical Knowledge Exam but also gave me the required books to study. In addition, I received strong emotional support from the staff while studying and encouragement to stay in the Midwest to practice medicine. The program connected me with a mentor from the University of Nebraska Medical Center that proved to be an invaluable resource for trading new ideas and advice about board exams.” DR.
