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 />

Mark your calendars: The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

Foundation’s A “Possible Dream”<br />

Creating this year’s chocolate<br />

tortes is Michael Skarupinski, a renowned<br />

chocolate artist and pastry chef instructor<br />

at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute at<br />

Northwestern Michigan <strong>College</strong> in Traverse<br />

City. Skarupinski prepared tortes for this<br />

assisted this year by ten of his advanced<br />

culinary students from Northwestern.<br />

Since 2001, A “Possible Dream”<br />

Fundraiser: A Chocolate Affair has netted<br />

almost $400,000 for the Possible Dream<br />

Program. The program keeps students<br />

active in their studies, pursuing their<br />

educational goals and reaching their full<br />

potential.<br />

This year’s Honorary Chairs are:<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 />

4<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.”

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 />

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 />

their monthly, quarterly or annual meetings<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 />
