2011 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
Mission<br />
EvCC creates life-changing educational opportunities where<br />
students become active learners who strengthen our diverse<br />
local and global communities.<br />
Vision<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> is the academic, technical, and<br />
cultural center of learning for our region.<br />
2011<br />
EvCC’s Featherstar survived the fire that<br />
destroyed Cascade Hall in 1987 and became<br />
part of the college’s logo in 1993.
Strategic Plan<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Strategic Plan outlines the<br />
college’s goals and initiatives. The plan, approved by<br />
the college’s Board of Trustees, is assessed annually to<br />
consider adjustments and review progress toward goals.<br />
Initiative One: The <strong>College</strong> will develop practices and<br />
procedures that build the legacy of sustainability in all<br />
areas of the college, including instruction, operations,<br />
construction, facilities, land use, energy conservation,<br />
and financial management.<br />
Initiative Two: The <strong>College</strong> will increase institutional<br />
effectiveness by attracting and retaining well-qualified,<br />
high-performing employees with multi-cultural<br />
experiences and diverse backgrounds.<br />
Initiative Three: The <strong>College</strong> will increase access<br />
and retention, with special attention to underserved<br />
populations.<br />
Initiative Four: The <strong>College</strong> will promote signature<br />
programs in healthcare, advanced technologies,<br />
sciences, entrepreneurship, and the visual arts, and<br />
serve additional regional educational needs through the<br />
distinctive University Center.<br />
Initiative Five: The <strong>College</strong> will provide innovative<br />
learning experiences for students in both traditional and<br />
alternative modes of instruction and support services.<br />
Initiative Six: The <strong>College</strong> will support educational<br />
programs that result in a more globally aware and<br />
diverse student body and workforce.<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> served more<br />
than 20,000 students in 2010-11.
Dear Friends,<br />
Seventy years ago, 128 students gathered in a converted elementary school for the first classes at <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Today, <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> serves more than 20,000 students at seven locations throughout Snohomish County and online.<br />
EvCC’s alumni and operations contribute $301.8 million to Snohomish County’s economy, according to a recent economic impact<br />
study.<br />
Much has changed at the college during the past seven decades. In the past year alone, we opened a new Student Fitness Center,<br />
expanded the Parks Student Union, received approximately $6.8 million in annual grant funding, and graduated a record number<br />
of students.<br />
What hasn’t changed is our commitment to helping students achieve their educational dreams. At EvCC, students are challenged to<br />
explore, create, learn, and lead with help from faculty and staff dedicated to their success, just like they were in 1941.<br />
Back then, most students were focused on earning two-year degrees. Today, EvCC students can earn their four-year degrees on the<br />
college’s main campus through the University Center of North Puget Sound, which offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees through<br />
eight partner schools. In 2010-11, enrollment at the University Center, which will transition to Washington State University leadership<br />
in 2014, grew by 25 percent to almost 600 students.<br />
Throughout the years, college leaders have faced a variety of financial challenges. This year, EvCC faculty, staff, and administrators<br />
are working hard to serve an increasing number of students with fewer state resources. EvCC enrollment grew 13 percent during<br />
the past five years, while the percentage of the college budget funded by the state declined 19 percent since 2008-09.<br />
Through careful management of our financial resources, we are continuing to offer excellent education to train students for highdemand<br />
jobs.<br />
The college is especially grateful for the support of the community, dedicated volunteers, EvCC Foundation donors, businesses and<br />
industry as we work to keep higher education affordable for the next generation of students.<br />
I invite you join us in celebrating <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s first 70 years and be a part of providing outstanding education to<br />
our community for many decades to come.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Dr. David Beyer<br />
President

Academic Excellence<br />
From field trips to Forest Park with botany instructor Andy Holland in 1941 to<br />
analyzing sediment in Possession Sound in 2011, <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
has offered students innovative learning experiences inside and outside of the<br />
classroom.<br />
In 1941, classes were offered in a dozen subjects. Today, students can<br />
choose from more than 100 programs, including the college’s unique Ocean<br />
Research <strong>College</strong> Academy (ORCA), an early college academy for high<br />
school students. The program is moving to the <strong>Everett</strong> waterfront in Winter<br />
2012.<br />
Experience is a critical part of an EvCC education. At EvCC’s Aviation<br />
Maintenance Technician School students spend most of their time in the lab.<br />
“My favorite part is the troubleshooting – finding a problem and fixing it,” said<br />
Sam Warby, who was interviewed by CBS News in July 2011 for a story about<br />
in-demand job skills. Sam started work at Boeing five days after he graduated.<br />
EvCC has also seen demand for its health sciences programs increase. The<br />
college is working with partners, such as Providence Regional Medical Center,<br />
and using a U.S. Department of Labor grant to expand the programs.<br />
The grant, part of the $6.8 million in grant funding EvCC was awarded in<br />
2010-11, helped create EvCC’s Healthcare Pathways Center in 2011, which<br />
offers English language training to health care professionals.<br />
An <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> practical<br />
nursing student learns about child<br />
development. The college, which will<br />
open a new Nursing and Health Sciences<br />
building in 2013, has educated nurses<br />
since the 1940s.<br />
1954 1971<br />
The need for corporate and professional training is growing, and EvCC’s<br />
Corporate & Continuing Education Center is responding. The center trains<br />
more than 10,000 people per year. Offerings include the Small Business<br />
Accelerator program, which provides custom coaching with the goal of helping<br />
business owners double the size of their companies within five years.<br />
As the population of East Snohomish County has grown, EvCC has expanded<br />
offerings there, opening its East County Campus in Monroe in Fall 2010.<br />
Students can earn their associate degree there in daytime or evening classes.<br />
The college has also increased its efforts to educate students about<br />
sustainability as part of the college’s commitment to sustainability in its<br />
strategic plan and in the American <strong>College</strong> & University Presidents’ Climate<br />
Commitment. In addition to learning about sustainability in the classroom,<br />
students in 2010-11 discussed eating locally as part of the year-long EvCC<br />
Reads program, participated in the Earth Day food and farm fair, and<br />
attended a campus lecture by “The End of Food” author Paul Roberts.<br />
EvCC’s Aviation Maintenance Technician School<br />
opens at Paine Field. In 2010-11, the school doubled<br />
its freshman class and will do so again in 2011-12 to<br />
meet employer demand for aerospace employees.

1941<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> students gather on the college’s first day,<br />
September 8, 1941. At the college’s opening day assembly, <strong>College</strong><br />
President George Porter told students that they played the<br />
most important role in shaping the college’s future.
Student Success<br />
In 1943, <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>’s first graduating class included 17 students –<br />
11 women and six men. In 2011, more than 1,800 students earned a degree<br />
or certificate from EvCC, the largest graduating class in the college’s history.<br />
Students choose EvCC today for many of the same reasons students chose<br />
to attend the college in its first years – it’s close to home, affordable, and fits<br />
into students’ lives (In 1942, 40 percent of students worked while attending<br />
school. Today, 36 percent do).<br />
“I started with just one class at a time,” said EvCC 2010-11 ASB President<br />
Stephanie Kermgard, who enrolled in 2007 while on active duty in the U.S.<br />
Navy and graduated in 2011.<br />
Stephanie counts herself among the 90 percent of students who say they’d<br />
recommend the college to a friend. Students say a key reason is the support<br />
offered throughout campus.<br />
EvCC faculty members work with students to create individual academic plans<br />
as part of the college’s new advising requirement, which started in Summer<br />
2011.<br />
To help students struggling with their classes, EvCC offers tutoring through its<br />
Rainier Learning Center, offering customized reading, writing, math, and study<br />
skills assistance to more than 2,000 students.<br />
1973<br />
EvCC students register for classes.<br />
Enrollment has grown from 128 students<br />
the college’s first Fall quarter to more<br />
than 20,000 students in all college<br />
programs and corporate training.<br />
In March 2011, EvCC strengthened its commitment to student success by<br />
joining the national Achieving the Dream project. The college will receive a<br />
$550,000 grant to increase the number of students, especially low income<br />
students and students of color, who stay enrolled and graduate. EvCC was one<br />
of 30 schools nationwide selected for Achieving the Dream in 2011.<br />
The grant will help EvCC increase its use of data “to identify its most successful<br />
practices and identify gaps so the college can find strategies to help more<br />
students reach their educational goals,” said EvCC President David Beyer.<br />
A key part of student success is campus and community involvement. In<br />
2010-11, hundreds of students participated in EvCC’s student clubs<br />
and volunteered with community organizations, raising money for Japanese<br />
earthquake and tsunami victims, collecting food bank donations, building a<br />
home with Housing Hope, donating blood, and more.<br />
Many EvCC students continue serving their communities after graduation,<br />
such as 2011 Distinguished Alumnus Dwayne Lane, who was honored for<br />
his 50 years of involvement with a wide variety of community activities and<br />
organizations.<br />
EvCC presented its Distinguished<br />
Alumnus award to Dwayne Lane<br />
in June 2011. Lane attended<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> in 1955<br />
and 1956, prior to establishing<br />
successful auto dealerships in<br />
Snohomish County.<br />
2011
Growth<br />
Just 12 days after <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> opened, its new home was in<br />
jeopardy.<br />
Neighbors opposed to the <strong>Everett</strong> School Board’s decision to use Lincoln<br />
Elementary School as the site of the new junior college forced a public vote on<br />
the issue. The college survived the electoral challenge, expanding in the seven<br />
decades that followed to a 15-building main campus at 2000 Tower Street in<br />
north <strong>Everett</strong>.<br />
EvCC also educates students at its East County Campus in Monroe, Aviation<br />
Maintenance Technician School at Paine Field, Corporate & Continuing<br />
Education Center in south <strong>Everett</strong>, School of Cosmetology in Marysville and<br />
at the Tulalip Education Center in Marysville and at several other locations in<br />
north and east Snohomish County.<br />
In 2010-11, the college continued growing, adding a new Student Fitness<br />
Center, remodeling and expanding its Parks Student Union and opening its<br />
new East County Campus in Monroe.<br />
1941<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>’s first home<br />
was at Lincoln Elementary School at<br />
25th Street and Oakes Avenue.<br />
The college started construction in August 2011 on its new Nursing and<br />
Health Sciences building, which will be home to EvCC’s nursing, medical<br />
assisting and phlebotomy programs and other health sciences training. The<br />
center, located off of Broadway, will also include room for the Providence<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> Healthcare Clinic.<br />
“<strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> has undergone a remarkable transformation<br />
in the past five years,” said Pat Sisneros, EvCC Vice President of <strong>College</strong><br />
Services. “The new facilities are revitalizing north <strong>Everett</strong>, expanding higher<br />
education opportunities in east Snohomish County, and ensuring the next<br />
generation of students have the classrooms and labs they need to train to<br />
become part of a globally competitive workforce.”<br />
1958<br />
The college’s main campus moved to its current<br />
location at 2000 Tower St. in 1958. In this photo,<br />

2011<br />
EvCC’s Parks Student Union addition opened in March 2011. The additional 5,600<br />
square feet include a new café, remodeled Russell Day Gallery, and more study<br />
space for students. The addition was funded in part by students, who paid 40<br />
percent of the cost through the Student Campus Enhancement fee.
1948<br />
Art instructor Russell Day began teaching at <strong>Everett</strong> Junior<br />
<strong>College</strong> in 1948. He worked at the college until 1974, starting<br />
the college’s first art gallery and inspiring generations of artists.
Faculty and Staff<br />
In 1958, <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> art instructor Russell Day started the college’s<br />
first art gallery. In 2011, he returned to campus with his wife Marjorie to<br />
dedicate the gallery’s new home in the Parks Student Union.<br />
The gallery, named in honor of Russell in 2008, reopened in April 2011 in<br />
EvCC’s expanded Parks Student Union. The new space reflects Day’s lasting<br />
legacy as an instructor. He was honored for his many years of teaching by<br />
the National Art Education Association in March 2011 with the Presidential<br />
Citation Award.<br />
Russell and Marjorie, a retired EvCC English instructor, are continuing to<br />
help students through the Day endowment for student scholarships. The first<br />
Russell and Marjorie Day scholarship winner was announced at the gallery<br />
reopening.<br />
“I am honored. I’ve heard a lot about Russell Day. I’ve always wanted to<br />
meet him,” said student Sarah Molitch, who plans a career conserving and<br />
restoring artwork.<br />
Russell, who started teaching at <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> in 1949, was part<br />
of a dedicated group of faculty and staff who helped shape the future of<br />
the college in its earliest years. When EJC opened, it had 12 employees,<br />
including two full-time instructors and seven part-time instructors.<br />
Today, the college employs 400 full-time faculty, staff, and administrators, in<br />
addition to 225 part-time instructors.<br />
1971<br />
EvCC math instructor Bob Killingstad starts teaching<br />
at <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Bob still teaches for<br />
EvCC and was selected by students as a “You Made<br />
a Difference” award winner in 2011. One nominator<br />
called him “the best teacher on the planet!”<br />
2011<br />
During 2010-11, numerous faculty and staff members were recognized for<br />
their outstanding work including EvCC Director of Institutional Research<br />
Darryl Dieter, who earned an exemplary status award from the Washington<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s Humanities Association for his work with the college’s<br />
Humanities Center.<br />
Former EvCC Theatre instructor Arden Flom, who passed away in 2010, was<br />
also honored by the <strong>Everett</strong> Cultural Arts Commission for his 31 years as the<br />
college’s theatre director, directing more than 173 productions, and his work<br />
with numerous civic and cultural organizations.<br />
Associate faculty member Laura Wild was selected for the college’s highest<br />
honor, the George Shuh award, in June 2011. During the past year, she codeveloped<br />
and taught a sustainable food systems class, hosted a cooking<br />
workshop for campus, co-advised the Students for Environmental Action Club,<br />
and worked with students to plant a sustainable garden on campus.<br />
“She unselfishly gives of herself and her time to put together something<br />
great or exciting for her students,” said award nominator Carla Forney, who<br />
was also selected as a Shuh winner for her outstanding work as Director of<br />
Custodial and Grounds Services.<br />
The highest honor given to EvCC employees are the George Shuh<br />
awards, given by the Shuh family to honor outstanding faculty, staff<br />
and administrators. Winners in 2011 included nutrition instructor Laura<br />
Wild (left), Custodial and Grounds Services Director Carla Forney, and<br />
Grounds and Nursery Specialist John Syson, pictured with Tom Shuh.
Global<br />
When <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> opened, global issues weren’t an important part<br />
of most students’ lives. That changed three months later in December 1941<br />
with the bombing of Pearl Harbor.<br />
Interest in international issues grew as veterans returned home and Snohomish<br />
County increased its global economic connections.<br />
One of the ways students learned about other countries, cultures, and ideas<br />
was from their classmates. Instructor Marie Ross recalled teaching <strong>Everett</strong><br />
Junior <strong>College</strong>’s first international student in the late 1940s. By 1960, the<br />
number had grown, with foreign and local students organizing a college club<br />
to socialize and discuss global issues.<br />
In 2010-11, more than 180 international students from 23 countries studied<br />
at <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> including six students participating in the U.S.<br />
State Department’s <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Initiative Program.<br />
The number of international students at EvCC has more than tripled since<br />
2008, due primarily to the college’s increased commitment to international<br />
outreach and support from faculty and staff who welcome international<br />
students, said Visakan Ganeson, Director of International Education.<br />
1960<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> welcomed students from<br />
around the world, including this group of students<br />
from Germany, the Philippines, Panama, and Iran.<br />
In November 2010, Visakan and EvCC President David Beyer traveled to<br />
China, visiting 17 schools and establishing partnerships throughout the<br />
country. That work continued in April 2011, leading to the opening of an<br />
EvCC office in China.<br />
EvCC is also increasing opportunities for local students to understand and<br />
experience global connections, reflecting the commitment to educational<br />
programs that result in a more globally aware and diverse student body and<br />
workforce.<br />
In 2010-11, the college offered classes in nine languages, study abroad<br />
opportunities in four countries, hosted a series of Humanities Center events<br />
focused on global issues, and sent four students to Japan for business<br />
internships through a U.S. Department of Education grant to increase<br />
international business education and training.<br />
The grant builds on existing programs at EvCC, including the college’s<br />
Nippon Business Institute and Japanese Cultural and Resource Center, which<br />
was established in 1987 to promote the study of Japanese language, history,<br />
culture, social structure, economic issues, communication styles, and business<br />
protocols.<br />
1994<br />
EvCC student Ted-David Mizingou, who<br />
came from the Republic of Congo to study<br />
at EvCC, served as the college’s Associated<br />
Student Body president in 1994-95. He<br />
returned to EvCC in 2006 to speak at the<br />
college’s graduation.
2011<br />
EvCC students Andrue Cashman (left), Nicole Signer, Michael Bresciano, and<br />
Alex Brader, pictured in EvCC’s Nishiyama Japanese Garden, participated in<br />
quarter-long internships at Japanese businesses in Summer 2011. While in<br />
Japan, they stayed at EvCC’s sister school, Aichi Toho University.
1956<br />
Dave Holden, who played for the <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> basketball team from 1956-58,<br />
was inducted into the college’s Athletic Hall of Fame in May 2011 along with four other<br />
former athletes, two coaches, and four teams. Holden, a 6-foot-3 forward, remains one<br />
of the college’s all-time leading scorers.
Athletics<br />
Dave Holden’s last game as an <strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> Trojan was in the<br />
college’s new gym, which opened in 1958 for the final basketball game of the<br />
season.<br />
Fifty-three years later, he stood on stage in <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s new<br />
49,000 square foot Student Fitness Center for his induction into the college’s<br />
Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame May 18.<br />
“It’s a big honor for me that they remember me from so long ago,” Holden,<br />
74, told The Herald. “It means a whole lot that they even remembered me<br />
and thought about me for this recognition.”<br />
Holden was one of five athletes, two coaches and four teams inducted into<br />
the Hall of Fame in 2011. He was joined by athletes Ed Bucklin, George<br />
Holland, Randy Montgomery, and Nancy Snyder; coaches/administrators<br />
Joan Dugger and Jim Ennis; and the 1967 football team, the 1964/65<br />
women’s tennis team, and the 1947 and 1948 men’s golf teams.<br />
This was the third class inducted into the Hall of Fame, a new tradition<br />
honoring the college’s long athletic legacy, which started in the Fall 1941 with<br />
the formation of the college’s basketball team. Students selected the Trojans<br />
as the team name by popular vote.<br />
1967<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong>’s 1967 football team was among the four teams inducted into the<br />
college’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011. The team, which earned the state championship,<br />
included rusher Randy Montgomery, who was also honored as an individual for his football<br />
and track accomplishments.<br />
At the 2011 Hall of Fame celebration, former athletes admired the new<br />
Student Fitness Center, located off Broadway near the <strong>Everett</strong> Transit Center’s<br />
<strong>College</strong> Station. The new facility replaced the college’s 1958 gym, which was<br />
located several blocks south of the main campus.<br />
The $19.5 million Student Fitness Center includes classrooms for physical<br />
education and health programs, a gym with retractable bleacher seating for<br />
2,250, a cardio and free weight training room, a climbing wall, running track,<br />
juice bar, a multi-purpose small gym, and offices for faculty and staff.<br />
The center also includes space for intercollegiate athletics and activities. More<br />
than 250 athletes participate in EvCC’s nine league sports and intramural<br />
leagues.<br />
2011<br />
EvCC female Athlete of the Year, sophomore<br />
pitcher Allie Milless, practices before a game<br />
against Edmonds <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>. The<br />
Trojan’s women’s softball team finished second<br />
in the Northwest Athletic Association of<br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s championship in May<br />
2011, the team’s best finish in its 12-year history.<br />
Team head coach Randy Smith was named the<br />
league’s softball coach of the year.
Foundation<br />
Retired <strong>Everett</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> Dean of Students William (Bill) Deller<br />
started the EvCC Foundation in 1984 with $1,000 donated from generous<br />
community members and in-kind donations from local businesses.<br />
Twenty-five years later, the Foundation has grown to provide 122 scholarships,<br />
offer emergency aid to students, bring vital equipment into college classrooms<br />
and support dozens of college programs, faculty and staff.<br />
In 2010-11, over 400 donors made contributions to the Foundation, giving to<br />
annual and endowed scholarship funds, providing planned and estate gifts<br />
and making in-kind equipment donations.<br />
“The donations help students get the education and training they need to<br />
survive in this tough economy,” said John Olson, executive director of the<br />
EvCC Foundation. “We are very thankful for all of the generous donors who<br />
believe higher education changes lives.”<br />
Donors also volunteered hundreds of hours in support of Foundation events,<br />
including an April 2011 community fundraising breakfast and at Gusto, a<br />
1963<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> Junior <strong>College</strong> instructor Marie Ross (left) and her<br />
husband Rudolph Ross with the first Ross scholarship<br />
recipient Ruth Taggart, who received $50. Taggart graduated<br />
from EJC and the University of Washington.<br />
festival of wine, microbrews, and fine food in November 2010.<br />
As the college serves an increasing number of students as part of the region’s<br />
economic recovery, the Foundation is working to increase community support.<br />
Currently, it’s unable to help half of all students who apply for aid. For<br />
students who do receive scholarships, the funds cover only 20 percent of the<br />
cost of their education.<br />
“If donors could just see five to 10 years down the road in the life of the<br />
person they’ve helped, they’d be lined up to support the Foundation,” said Bill<br />
Deller, whose son Mike served on the EvCC Foundation Board of Drectors.<br />

Foundation Director Steve<br />
Chittenden accepts a donation<br />
to EvCC’s Library Media<br />
Center. The library and the<br />
college’s student union were<br />
destroyed by arson in 1987.<br />
The Foundation launched a<br />
fundraising campaign that<br />
raised $300,000 to help fund<br />
a new library. EvCC’s current<br />
student union, which includes<br />
the library, was named after the<br />
<strong>Everett</strong> firefighter killed in the<br />
blaze, Gary Parks.<br />
