size to provide unlimited educational opportunities to our<br />

Award at the <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> National Legislative<br />
Summit in Washington, D.C. This summer, I was honored<br />
to be among 36 experts in education, business, policy<br />
and communications invited to serve on the American<br />
Association of <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s 21st Century<br />
Commission on the Future of <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>s<br />

Kathy Emerson’s mission to raise<br />
awareness for the fight against<br />
cancer and to advocate for affordable<br />
health care began when her oldest son,<br />
Alex, was diagnosed with leukemia at<br />
the age of 12 and then two years later<br />
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Today, she<br />
volunteers at Shepherd’s Hand Free Clinic<br />
in Whitefish and works at North <strong>Valley</strong><br />
Hospital as a certified nurse’s aide on the<br />
medical/surgical floor and continues to<br />
care for others, particularly cancer patients<br />
undergoing treatment, while working<br />
toward earning a Bachelor of Science in<br />
nursing through Montana State University.<br />

Ben Woody<br />
Ben Woody fell from a shining star<br />
in high school to a very dark place.<br />
He was diagnosed with major depressive<br />
disorder, and in one year, his grade point<br />
average plummeted from 4.0 to 2.0. After<br />
a hiatus from school, Ben came to FVCC<br />
where the college welcomed him with<br />
open arms. Woody thrived as editor-inchief<br />
of the college’s student newspaper,<br />
The Mercury News. Before graduating<br />
from FVCC this spring, he was awarded a<br />
Georgetown Journalism Scholarship, and<br />
this summer he completed an internship<br />

employee and director of The Scholars Program at FVCC, a program<br />
for highly-motivated honors students founded in 2009. Last year, Lorentzen was<br />

founders to advocate the need for a community college to the citizens of <strong>Flathead</strong> County. One year later, FVCC<br />

sitting on the first advisory board, serving on the Board of Trustees, teaching history or speech courses or reporting the<br />
college’s ‘good news’ on his morning radio program. FVCC President Jane Karas recognized Ostrom’s vision, leadership,<br />
integrity and passion by presenting him with her sixth annual Montana Mentor Award this spring. The awards adds<br />

Daniel and Michelle Seymour<br />
Brother and sister Daniel and Michelle Seymour were<br />
born in Tokyo, Japan, and raised in the <strong>Flathead</strong><br />
<strong>Valley</strong>. In their early teens, their family uprooted back<br />
to Japan to help their grandparents’ church. When the<br />
Seymours returned, Michelle and Daniel were ready<br />
to begin college but had a difficult time adjusting to<br />
the cultural differences. They were thankful FVCC<br />
was there to help them with the transition. Among<br />
the first class of Scholars Program graduates, Michelle<br />
was awarded a 2 Plus 2 Honor Scholarship from the<br />
Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education, and<br />
this fall, she transferred to Montana State University<br />
to continue her studies in secondary education and<br />
Japanese studies. Daniel founded his own professional<br />
photography company, Sharpeye Photography, and is a<br />
staff photographer for 406 Woman magazine.<br />
