NIC Foundation and Alumni Year in ReviewCollege supporterdonates portion ofestate to NICElisabeth Scates, who passedaway in January 2007, caredabout her community and NorthIdaho College. She believed ineducation and was committedto giving—both in life and indeath.Through her will, Elisabethmade arrangements tocontribute $12,000 to benefitthe John Dunlop MemorialScholarship, which she and herhusband of 22 years, retireddentist Robert (Bob) Scates,established in 2003 in memoryof Elisabeth’s son John Dunlop.Dunlop, who attended NIC in1968-1969, died at a young ageand Elisabeth wanted to ensurehe was remembered through afund to help NIC students.“This scholarship fund is awonderful example of how aloved one’s memory can liveon forever through charitablegiving,” said NIC FoundationExecutive Director RayelleAnderson. “NIC students willcontinue to reap the rewardsof the Scates’ philanthropy foryears to come.”To learn more about establishinga named fund or makingNorth Idaho College part ofyour estate plan, call the NICFoundation at 208.769.5978.Robert (Bob) and ElisabethScates in their Fort Groundshome in 2004.NIC nursing students establishscholarship in honor of fellowstudent’s daughterStudents in North IdahoCollege’s renownedAssociate’s Degree Nursingprogram enroll for a varietyof reasons. Some for betterpay, others for a chance ata lifelong career. Still thereis one attribute that mostnursing students share—thedesire to help people.Like most nontraditionalcollege students, nursingstudent Greg Sapp workedto balance the demandsof being a college studentwhile trying to make endsmeet for his wife Leeanne,and their three daughters, 6-year-oldDaphne, 3-year-old Ayiana, and 1-yearoldMadelyn, all of Rathdrum. Greg wasentering his second and final year in NIC’snursing program and was well on his wayto reaching his goal when tragedy struckhis family.It was the day after Christmas 2005when the Sapp’s youngest daughterMadelyn woke her parents in the middleof the night. What started as a feverrapidly worsened. In one devastatingnight, the Sapps discovered it was aninfection in the bloodstream that causedtheir 1-year-old daughter to slip into acoma and eventually suffer a massivestroke. Maddie passed away Dec. 28,2005, seven days after her first birthday.While facing such tragedy in his personallife, Greg could have easily decided todrop out prior to his final semester,but the NIC nursing students and staffwouldn’t let him. Greg felt their supportalmost immediately.“We went to school all those years tolearn how to care for other people,”said nursing graduate Dan Franklin ofDalton Gardens, a former classmate ofGreg’s. “So when we had the opportunityto care for one of our own who wasin need, someone in our immediatefamily that was going through the worstgrief imaginable, we were ready to doanything it took. That’s what nursing is allabout.”Greg and Leeanne Sapp with their daughters (left toright) Daphne, Ayiana, and Madelyn.Prior to commencement, the graduatingnursing class of 2006 establisheda memorial scholarship in honor ofMadelyn to be given each year to astruggling second-year nursing student.The class set a goal to raise $5,000,which is the minimum amount needed toendow a scholarship, allowing it to livein perpetuity with the interest earningsof the fund awarded each year as ascholarship.“I can’t express how much it meansto me to have Maddie’s name tied tosomething so positive that will live onforever,” Leeanne said.In just over a month, the scholarshipreached the $5,000 endowment leveland the contributions are still flowingin over a year later. Greg now worksin the Coronary Care Unit of KootenaiMedical Center and more than 30 of hiscoworkers in the unit decided to use aportion of a departmental incentive tocontribute to the fund, which currentlysits at more than $7,000.“This speaks to the kind of people nursesare,” Greg said. “We spend our livestaking care of other people and we alltake care of each other too.”To contribute to the Madelyn IsabellaSapp Memorial Scholarship, send a taxdeductibledonation to the North IdahoCollege Foundation, 1000 W.

Connecting Families withServicemen and Women in IraqIn collaboration with the FamilyReadiness Group and severalother organizations, NorthIdaho College made the 2006holiday season a little brighterfor dozens of families of activeservicemen and women in theInland Northwest. With help fromthe U.S. Army Engineer Researchand Development Center’sTeleEngineering OperationsCenter in Vicksburg, Mississippi,and the use of interactivevideoconferencing technology,NIC connected more than 10families to their loved ones in Iraq,offering the opportunity to speakwith and see those they deeplymissed.ıı Alumni Spotlight ııEducation is a silver bullet, according toNIC alumnus Tim Fort of Kellogg, Idaho.Fort was working at Wal-Mart and goingthrough a divorce in the summer of2004. He was lying on the beach on hisday off when the silver bullet hit him.Fort, whose furthest level of educationat the time was a general educationdiploma (GED), pondered going intomanagement for Wal-Mart or going backto school.“I didn’t really know which one wouldbe the best,” Fort said. “A job and havea decent paycheck with Wal-Mart or goto school and not have an income fortwo to three years. I said a prayer anddecided to go with the one that camethrough first. School fell right into place,so I went with it.“It wasn’t just getting an education, itwas also learning new job skills with anactual future to it.”Fort entered the Computer InformationTechnology program at North IdahoCollege and became an NIC Ambassador,helping to inform other students of NIC’sprograms and services. He also servedas president of the honor society PhiTheta Kappa, volunteered for the NICNIC Foundation and Alumni Year in ReviewDerrick, Conner, and Susan Kinnune utilizetechnology at North Idaho College to visit withChaplain Robert Kinnune in Iraq.Foundation’s Community Campaign, andwas the 2004-2005 Hugh “Olin” SmithScholarship recipient.Three years after enrolling at NIC, Fortgraduated with an associate’s degreeand several computer certifications toenhance his employability.Fort is now working as the leadcomputer technician for the KelloggSchool District and is an active memberof the NIC Alumni Association.“The moreeducated aperson is,the moreopportunities theyhave,” Fort said,“which usuallytranslates intoa person beingmore involved intheir community.”Industry and technology needs are everchangingand increasingly expensive.
