A letter from the new<br />
President of <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Dear Friends:<br />
Greetings to each of you! I am honored and<br />
pleased to have been selected as <strong>Delta</strong>’s<br />
fourth president, and I look forward to<br />
serving this fine institution. I appreciate the<br />
warm welcome and hospitality that <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, the Board of Trustees, the<br />
Foundation Board of Directors, the staff and<br />
the community have given me. I come to<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> with energy, enthusiasm, excitement,<br />
and a deep genuine passion for serving in<br />
the community college.<br />
I was attracted to <strong>Delta</strong> because of<br />
its reputation as a leading, innovative<br />
community college dedicated to meeting<br />
the diverse educational and personal<br />
growth needs of students. Students are at<br />
the core of what we are all about. <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> has demonstrated its vision of<br />
serving students with excellence.<br />
I believe in community colleges,<br />
and have spent most of my career working<br />
in them. I have taught in the classroom and<br />
served in a variety of administrative<br />
positions. Community colleges provide so<br />
many outstanding opportunities to students<br />
and members of the community, and<br />
I intend to work to strengthen the<br />
opportunities that <strong>Delta</strong> offers. We truly<br />
make the “<strong>Delta</strong> Difference” in thousands of<br />
lives each year.<br />
There are challenges before us at<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> as we take this <strong>College</strong> to new levels<br />
of service and excellence, and I know we<br />
can and will meet these challenges because<br />
of the talent and dedication of our people.<br />
Thank you for your continued support of<br />
this fine institution, and I look forward to<br />
meeting many of you in the near future.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Dr. Jean Goodnow joined the staff of <strong>Delta</strong><br />

Two new endowments<br />
to assist students<br />
The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation Board of Directors has approved the<br />
following endowments:<br />
THE ROBERT KEICHER SCHOLARSHIP<br />
ENDOWMENT has been established by the<br />
family, friends and colleagues of Robert<br />
Keicher, affectionately known as “Professor<br />
Bob”, who taught mathematics (and later<br />
added courses in computer science) at <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> from 1968 until his retirement in<br />
2002. “Professor Bob” lost his battle with<br />
Lou Gehrig’s Disease in 2003, and found<br />
the true meaning of his life when he<br />
began working in 1991 on a partnership<br />
between <strong>Delta</strong> and the Rift Valley<br />
Institute of Science and Technology in<br />
Kenya, devoting countless hours to<br />
overseeing shipments of thousands of<br />
used computers, books and other materials to<br />
Kenyan schools. “Most of what I have done with my life was in<br />
preparation for Kenya,” the educator, teacher, international colleague,<br />
humanitarian and friend once said. “I was meant to do it.”<br />
THE HAROLD AND NORINE RUPP SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT<br />
has been established by the longtime and well-known residents of Bay<br />
County, who have consistently<br />
and significantly financially<br />
supported most projects<br />
that helped the Bay<br />
County community,<br />
including <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, the Boys &<br />
Girls Clubs of Bay<br />
County, United<br />
Way of Bay<br />
County, the Civic<br />
Arena, the Ice<br />
Rink, Elks Club,<br />
Bay County<br />
Women’s Center,<br />
their church and many<br />
more. Their philanthropic<br />
spirit has also played a<br />
crucial role in encouraging<br />
others to join them in giving.<br />

Student grateful for<br />
opportunities and assistance<br />

Mai Nhia Vue was four years old when she<br />
moved to the United States. Her parents,<br />
Hmong refugees who were born in Laos (in<br />
southeastern Asia), relocated to Thailand<br />
during the Vietnam War. They left their new<br />
country because of political unrest and<br />
danger, and were convinced that they<br />
would have a better life in the USA for<br />
themselves and their six children.<br />
Now 19, Mai is a well-adjusted<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> student who remembers little<br />
about her early years in Thailand. The 2003<br />
graduate of Bay City Central High School is<br />
one of nine children, ranging in age from 25<br />
years to ten years (three have been born in<br />
the USA since her family arrived here). She<br />
has a pleasant smile and enthusiasm in her<br />
voice, and is extremely grateful when she<br />
speaks of the financial assistance she has<br />
received to attend classes at <strong>Delta</strong>,<br />
including the Michigan Merit Award,<br />
federal grants and an award from<br />
the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Employee-<br />
Sponsored Scholarship<br />
Endowment.<br />
Additional income she<br />
earns at work – as a co-op<br />
student at Delphi in Saginaw,<br />
working 20 hours each week,<br />
and formerly as a student<br />
assistant in <strong>Delta</strong>’s<br />
Employment Services<br />
office – is crucial to her<br />
family. Both parents<br />
are unable to work<br />
due to disabilities.<br />
Six of the nine Vue<br />
children are still at<br />
home. (Two<br />
siblings are in<br />
Michigan – a<br />
brother in Pontiac<br />
and a sister in<br />
Lansing. Another<br />
sister resides in<br />
Minnesota.) Mai’s<br />
18-year-old sister<br />
works at a local<br />
restaurant and<br />
helps the family as<br />
well.<br />
“It’s been<br />
tough,” Mai said.<br />
“Things have been very tight. However,<br />
having scholarships and awards has<br />
lessened the financial burden on me and my<br />
family to continue my education, and has<br />
helped me be able to study instead of<br />
worrying about where the money will come<br />
from.”<br />
Mai is in her second year at <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, pursuing her Associate’s Degree in<br />
Administrative Assistant. Her long-range<br />
plans include studying political science,<br />
possibly at Oakland University in<br />
Rochester, MI, with the hopes of someday<br />
working for the government in public<br />
administration.<br />
Mary Keyser, Employment Advisor<br />
in the Employment Services office at <strong>Delta</strong>,<br />
was Mai’s supervisor when she worked on<br />
campus. She indicated that the young<br />
woman was “one of the brightest and most<br />
exceptional student employees I’ve ever<br />
had.”<br />
“Mai exhibited a high work ethic,”<br />
Mary explained. “She arrived at the office<br />
on time, produced a high volume of quality<br />
work, functioned as a team member, had<br />
excellent computer skills, learned quickly<br />
and was very adaptable. Whatever she<br />
chooses to do in her life, I know she will go<br />
far.”<br />
Away from working and going to<br />
school, Mai follows and plays sports,<br />
especially basketball. She considers herself<br />
a “typical college kid,” she said. “I work<br />
hard and I achieve my goals.” And, she tries<br />
to spend time at least once a week with her<br />
boyfriend, who lives in Pontiac. She met<br />
him at a Hmong New Year’s celebration<br />
almost four years ago.<br />
When asked what the “<strong>Delta</strong><br />
Difference” means to her, Mai smiled. “You<br />
get so many opportunities for education<br />
here,” she said, “for not such big bucks. It’s<br />
the same education here that you would get<br />
at four-year universities. And, the<br />
instructors are great. They give each student<br />
a lot of attention.”<br />
And, she adds that she is grateful<br />
for the opportunities she has living in the<br />
USA. “You’re able to pursue something that<br />
you really want here,” she explained.<br />
“That’s very important to me.”

The weather was a classic Michigan day – a little bit of everything (cold, heat, rain), but<br />
participants had fun despite the changing environment. The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation’s<br />
annual Golf Classic, held Tuesday, June 21 at The Golf Club at Apple Mountain in<br />
Freeland, was another success, netting more than $32,790. The proceeds benefit <strong>Delta</strong>’s<br />
five varsity sports programs (men’s and women’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s<br />
softball and women’s volleyball), through scholarship assistance and equipment<br />
purchases.<br />

More than 500 attend<br />
retirement barbecue<br />
The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Board of Trustees and the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation<br />
Board of Directors hosted a retirement barbecue on June 10 at the<br />
Carlyon Farmhouse. The event celebrated the legacy of Dr. Peter D.<br />
Boyse upon his retirement as <strong>College</strong> President on July 31. Dr. Boyse<br />
began working at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> in 1988 as Executive Vice President, and<br />
assumed the presidency in 1993.<br />
The retirement barbecue was attended by members of the<br />
community, special friends of the <strong>College</strong>, members of the Boyse family,<br />
friends and neighbors, colleagues, area legislators, employees and<br />
retirees.<br />
Food, beverages and music were provided, along with a video<br />
and photo display reviewing Dr. Boyse’s tenure at the <strong>College</strong>. Guests<br />
were also invited to videotape personal messages for Dr. Boyse and his<br />
family.<br />
The Boyse family posed in front of the Carylon Farmhouse during the retirement barbecue. Left to<br />
right: grandson Wesley Grzemkowski, son-in-law Phil and daughter Heather Grzemkowski, Dr. Peter D.<br />
Boyse and his wife Barbra, and daughter Cassie Boyse.<br />
The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation is pleased to announce that the<br />
<strong>College</strong> has been named as one of two beneficiaries of a $1.5 million<br />
charitable trust from Maynard L. Smith, Jr., who passed away in<br />
November 2004. Mr. Smith, a Bay City resident, was a longtime<br />
friend of the <strong>College</strong>. <strong>Delta</strong> will be sharing proceeds from this trust<br />
with Saginaw Valley State University. The purpose of the trust,<br />
according to Mr. Smith’s will, is “to promote the education of<br />
students”. If you are interested in leaving <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> a planned<br />
gift, please contact the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation at (989) 686-9224.<br />
$2 million endowment<br />
established<br />
In honor of President Emeritus Dr. Peter D.<br />
Boyse, <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> announced the<br />
establishment of a $2 million endowment<br />
aimed at expanding and improving its<br />
Strategic Initiative efforts. At this point,<br />
more than $1.5 million has been raised.<br />
The Peter D. Boyse President’s<br />
Scholar Endowment was unveiled June 10<br />
during a retirement barbecue for Dr.<br />
Boyse. Dr. Thomas Lane of Midland, Chair<br />
of the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Board of Trustees, and<br />
Eileen Starks of Midland, Chair of the <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Foundation Board of Directors,<br />
jointly announced the new fund. The<br />
endowment pays tribute to Dr. Boyse, and<br />
also will be supporting the <strong>College</strong>’s<br />
President’s Scholar Program.<br />
The President’s Scholar Program<br />
will seek out promising new faculty who<br />
are just at the beginning of their teaching<br />
careers, with the intent of helping them<br />
quickly grow their talents, while at the<br />
same time asking them to bring new ideas<br />
to diversify the college’s curricula and<br />
programs, and to expand the effectiveness<br />
of the college’s efforts toward access and<br />
success of students from a broad cross<br />
section of the communities that the <strong>College</strong><br />
serves.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> welcomes<br />
contributions to the endowment.<br />

Quality Public Broadcasting<br />
busy with various activities<br />
Fund Development Committee<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> welcomed Dr. Jean Goodnow<br />
as its new president in early July <strong>2005</strong>. One<br />
of her most important tasks is effective<br />
involvement in the local community. In<br />
anticipation of this critical need, the <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Foundation established a new Fund<br />
Development Committee to assist Dr.<br />
Goodnow in meeting essential business and<br />
community leaders. This initiative was a<br />
result of a Corporation for Public<br />
Broadcasting (CPB) project conducted with<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> Quality Public Broadcasting.<br />
Committee members met for the first time<br />
on August 31 and began providing their<br />
suggestions. In addition to the typical<br />
presentations at chambers of commerce and<br />
service club meetings, a series of small<br />
group gatherings in private homes is being<br />
planned.<br />
This important group also<br />
functioned as ambassadors at <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>’s recent President’s Circle dinner,<br />
held September 29. Committee members<br />
were able to introduce many friends and<br />
business colleagues to Dr. Goodnow, and<br />
will also serve as advisors on a variety of<br />
newly developing fund raising ideas, print<br />
brochures and image pieces. Members of<br />
the committee are: Stuart Bergstein, Bill<br />
Bowen, Bob Hetzler, Kathy Langenburg,<br />
Rob Monroe, Sue Pumford, Rita Smith, Bob<br />
Stafford, Carol Thomas, Jim Van Tiflin,<br />
Jenee Velasquez and W. Lynn Weimer.<br />

at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong>, please contact Karen<br />
MacArthur at 989-686-9225 for further<br />
details.<br />
Hurricane Katrina Involvement<br />
In response to Hurricane Katrina, Q-TV and<br />
Q-90.1 joined in a number of statewide and<br />
national response fundraising and<br />
programming efforts. The FCC approved a<br />
special waiver allowing public TV and<br />
radio stations to fundraise for victims of the<br />
hurricane. Over 150 Michigan broadcasters,<br />
both commercial and public, agreed to<br />
target September 9 as Michigan Cares,<br />
Michigan Gives Fundraising Day, at the<br />
request of Governor Jennifer Granholm. The<br />
effort was intended to be a statewide radio<br />
promotion with television tie-in spots as<br />
well. Q-TV aired spots, and Q-90.1 devoted<br />
time during Morning Edition to encourage<br />
citizens to call in their financial support.<br />
Q-TV also joined with nationwide PBS<br />
stations to offer a number of hurricanerelated<br />
programs and concerts. Q-TV and<br />
