A <strong>Year</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Celebration</strong><br />
Thank you <strong>for</strong> being such generous partners in contributing your resources to support our students and<br />
programs at <strong>Rogue</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>. RCC provided classes and specialized training to over 19,000 students<br />
in southern Oregon this year. Our campuses serve as vital educational centers in Med<strong>for</strong>d, Grants Pass, and<br />
White City.<br />
<strong>Celebration</strong> was the theme in 2008. A new milestone was reached with the<br />
awarding of over $780,000 in scholarships to deserving and motivated students.<br />
The RCC <strong>Foundation</strong> rates among the top Oregon community college foundations<br />
in the amount of scholarships awarded to students, and your support has been<br />
instrumental in that rating.<br />
We also celebrated the innovative spirit of our faculty and staff through our project<br />
grants by supporting their dreams to expand and improve programs, services, and<br />
facilities. Your gifts have allowed students and staff to thrive, and our region will<br />
benefit from their success.<br />
The new RCC/SOU Higher Education Center in Med<strong>for</strong>d opened in September<br />
with a wonderful community celebration. This state-of-the-art facility, shared by<br />
students and faculty from both RCC and SOU, is the first of its kind in Oregon. In<br />
addition to representing the visionary partnership of both schools with state and<br />
local governments and business, the center stands <strong>for</strong> environmental stewardship and<br />
incorporates sustainable green technology.<br />
Barbara Patridge<br />
The success of our students, who, <strong>for</strong> the fourth consecutive year, have earned the distinction of maintaining<br />
the highest grade-point averages as transfer students in the Oregon University System, is an accomplishment<br />
worth celebrating, and we are so proud of them.<br />
Finally, we celebrate you – our donors – <strong>for</strong> your partnership with the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong>. We appreciate having<br />
you as advisors, committee members, scholarship readers, and friends. We are grateful <strong>for</strong> your continued<br />
support of our educational mission.<br />
With best regards!<br />

<strong>Rogue</strong> Scholar helps children understand math in a new and dynamic way<br />
When Jarrod Goode was in the third grade, he took a field trip to the University<br />
of Cali<strong>for</strong>nia at Davis. His teacher and later mentor, Mary Seawright, asked the<br />
class to write a book about their visit. The first line of Jarrod’s book read, “I want<br />
to go to college.”<br />
Now a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Jarrod, his wife Tiffany and<br />
their three children make their home in Murphy. He joined the military to<br />
support his family; after he was discharged, Jarrod worked with his father in<br />
construction. Although he knew he wanted to go to college, Jarrod didn’t want<br />
to start until it became clear exactly what he really wanted to do. When he<br />
realized his passion was <strong>for</strong> teaching, he knew he was ready to return to school.<br />
When asked about his future, Jarrod does not miss a beat: “I want to be a fifth<br />
grade teacher with a specialty in math.” His determination and enthusiasm are<br />
apparent as he discusses the book he is writing in collaboration with his math<br />
professor, Charlotte Hutt.<br />
Jarrod Goode<br />
“We’re working on a program that integrates learning mathematics with computers and helps children in<br />
kindergarten through sixth grade classes,” Goode says, his eyes lighting up. He loves helping children learn<br />
about a subject that he himself is passionate about. As Jarrod pulls out his computer to explain the math<br />
programs he is working on, you cannot help but become excited about the achievements this man is going to<br />
accomplish <strong>for</strong> children.<br />
Not only is Jarrod an accomplished student, he is currently working on a capstone project with the National<br />
Association <strong>for</strong> the Education of Young Children and chartering a student association chapter at RCC. He is<br />
passionate about teaching children and helping them develop confidence in their capabilities.<br />
Goode will be completing his final year at <strong>Rogue</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> this spring. He is currently dual<br />
enrolled at RCC and Southern Oregon University, has already been accepted into SOU’s School of Education,<br />
and will continue at RCC to complete his minor in mathematics.<br />
The <strong>Rogue</strong> Scholarship has allowed Jarrod to focus on school and expand his education to include a <strong>for</strong>eign<br />
language and math minor. He feels it has opened many doors to him and introduced him to community<br />
members who also have a passion <strong>for</strong> education. Meeting people who contribute to the success of students<br />
has inspired him. They are the role models <strong>for</strong> what he would like to become in the future.<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> grants will further excellence at RCC<br />
The RCC <strong>Foundation</strong> has funded a variety of wonderful projects this year through the college grant program.<br />
These projects range from green technologies to business development and from childcare to support <strong>for</strong><br />
arts programs. They are all designed to promote academic excellence at RCC. The foundation received a<br />
record number of project applications, all of which were innovative and would positively impact the college<br />
and our community.<br />
Those projects that were funded include allowing students to learn about solar technologies and take an<br />
entire electronics lab totally off the grid, bringing an outstanding speaker to present to the faculty and<br />
staff a program on generational poverty, upgrading the sound system at the Warehouse on Bartlett Theatre,<br />
purchasing lab materials, and contributing to building a business development center in the Illinois Valley.<br />
Additional funded projects are listed below.<br />

I am a single mom of two active boys 12 and 14 years old. I have been raising them entirely on my own <strong>for</strong> the past 10 years. What a blessing<br />
to have your support! It’s not only the financial support that I appreciate, but it is also the fact that you saw something in me that led you<br />
to believe that I will be successful. So thank you again <strong>for</strong> supporting me, my family, and our community.<br />

Daniel Stephens<br />
In 1999 Daniel Stephens was a happily married father of two boys and had been<br />
promoted to senior engineer with a cellular phone company. Soon afterward,<br />
however, his life began to change drastically into a downward spiral. Seven years later<br />
he was alone, homeless, and addicted to drugs.<br />
Dan, sober now <strong>for</strong> two years, is currently completing his associate’s degree in general<br />
studies at RCC. He intends to transfer to Wayland Baptist University where he will<br />
pursue a bachelor’s degree in Occupational Engineering with a specialization in Electronics<br />
Systems Engineering and a minor in Management.<br />
As a graduate of RCC’s Moving On program <strong>for</strong> students in transition, Dan now<br />
volunteers his time as a math mentor. He credits “Moving On” not only <strong>for</strong> providing<br />
the turning point in his life that helped him through the early stages of recovery, but<br />
also <strong>for</strong> rein<strong>for</strong>cing the importance of his returning to school at a time when he wasn’t<br />
sure if he could handle it emotionally.<br />
“Magic happens in Moving On,” he said. Now Dan loves watching and helping others<br />
bloom in the program the way he did.<br />
His plans are big, but when you talk to him it becomes clear that he will accomplish whatever goals he sets<br />
his mind to reach. Living in his car when he began at RCC, Dan is now a proud member of the Phi Theta<br />
Kappa Honor Society, on track to complete his associate’s and bachelor’s degrees by fall of 2009, and he no<br />
longer lives in his car but in an apartment.<br />
“Receiving a scholarship removed so much of the stress of attending school,” he said. His loan amounts have<br />
decreased, and the subsidized loans were eliminated almost entirely. Dan expresses appreciation <strong>for</strong> the<br />
help he received from donors who invested in his education and even deeper gratitude <strong>for</strong> the fact that<br />
others would invest in a person they didn’t know.<br />
“These contributions will ensure families and future generations will enjoy life in this valley and on this<br />
planet,” he added.<br />
Daniel Stephens<br />
As a first generation college student, he is moved by hearing the plans his two sons, now 13 and 15, are<br />
already making <strong>for</strong> their college careers. Dan feels this is confirmation of what he has learned over the last<br />
year and a half, “that with time and patience, things just keep getting better and better.”<br />
Thanks to generous people and organizations like you, many kids who would otherwise have no means of funding their education now<br />
have a fighting chance.<br />

Electronics Program and the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong> – David McKeen, Department Head<br />
Supporting Electronics Students<br />
In 2006, after a transition from Redwood Campus in Grants Pass to Table Rock Campus in White City, a<br />
sudden decline in enrollment threatened the existence of the RCC Electronics program. Due to the drastic<br />
decrease, the AAS Electronics degree was scheduled to be cut entirely. However, through the support of<br />
the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong>, the Electronics program is not only thriving now, but the foundation has made it<br />
possible <strong>for</strong> the program to meet the needs of increasing numbers of students. This year the RCC<br />
Electronics program will serve more students than ever be<strong>for</strong>e.<br />
Through the support of the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong>, the majority of electronics students are working on their<br />
degrees with the assistance of scholarships. Nearly every request by the department has resulted in<br />
financial support, making it possible <strong>for</strong> students to focus more on their educational goals and avoiding<br />
tuition increases. Additionally, the foundation has identified significant funding which has supported the<br />
high school dual enrollment program, which enables students from local high schools to train at RCC,<br />
earning credits toward their AAS degree be<strong>for</strong>e even receiving their high school diploma.<br />
In year two of an important partnership, the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong> and the Morris Family <strong>Foundation</strong> are<br />
currently supporting 48 dual enrolled high school students as they complete their first term in the<br />
Electronics program. Additionally, 12 students have returned to RCC after completing the program last<br />
year and are now, as freshmen, enrolled in second-year AAS Electronics courses already nearing degree<br />
completion. Recently Liz Sweeney, whose son is in his second year of the program said, “I am very pleased<br />
with the program Ryan is in. He has shown a lot of enthusiasm <strong>for</strong> what he is learning and his future that he<br />
did not have be<strong>for</strong>e. Another great experience <strong>for</strong> Ryan has been learning algebra. In high school…he felt<br />
it was useless to try. At RCC he was able to make sense out of it because he was no longer solving <strong>for</strong> an<br />
unknown…it made sense to him in a new way. “<br />
Renewable Energy Grant<br />
This year the Electronics program was awarded a $10,000 project grant by the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong> to help<br />
implement a new alternative energy strand. This two-part project will purchase new equipment, enabling<br />
the department to offer a new alternative energy course to RCC students in 2009-10 and will build a solar<br />
powered renewable energy system, both designed and built by program students.<br />
The new course, Introduction to Renewable Energy Systems, will include topics of solar, hydro, fuel cell,<br />
wind, and the related control and conversion systems. The equipment purchased by the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

will be used to provide experiential hands-on activities using the various sustainable systems while also<br />
rein<strong>for</strong>cing math and science concepts tied to each experiment and project. This state-of-the-art program<br />
will serve several populations: community members interested in alternative energy resources and systems;<br />
current learners in the various program areas interested in learning about the various renewable energies<br />
and control/conversion systems; and targeted work<strong>for</strong>ce training <strong>for</strong> employees who need to upgrade skills<br />
to include renewable energy resources and systems.<br />
The second portion of the foundation grant dollars will provide the resources <strong>for</strong> students to create a solar<br />
display system, which uses solar energy to charge deep-cycle batteries. Converters will use the stored<br />
battery power to completely supply power to several workstations at the TRC-174 electronics lab. These<br />
‘green’ stations, which will be entirely off the grid, will continue to be used and maintained by AAS<br />
electronics students.<br />
The college has plans to build on these sustainable technologies, which the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong> has helped to<br />
create. Within the next several years, <strong>Rogue</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> hopes to offer a certificate and/or AAS<br />
degree program in renewable energy.<br />

During economic difficulties, the RCC <strong>Foundation</strong> has been there <strong>for</strong> our students with scholarship dollars, and facility dollars to help our<br />
students’ learning environment be the best that it can be. The Art Department has benefited in Med<strong>for</strong>d with the remodel of a room that<br />
makes so much difference to our students. Most recently, we were able to retrofit a building on the Redwood Campus to improve our<br />
workspace <strong>for</strong> our sculpture and jewelry classes. We can’t thank the foundation enough <strong>for</strong> being there <strong>for</strong> our students.<br />
