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

to be among 36 experts in education, business, policy<br />

and communications invited to serve on the American<br />

Kathy Emerson<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 />

During FVCC’s spring <strong>2011</strong> commencement,<br />

Emerson was recognized by National<br />

Campus Compact President Maureen<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 />

in Washington, D.C. This fall, Woody is<br />

continuing his studies in journalism via<br />

Ivan Lorentzen<br />

Ivan Lorentzen calls joining the FVCC faculty in 1971 at the age of 24 a “fortunate<br />

accident” as his position was funded through a grant that was awarded at the<br />

last minute. Forty years later, Lorentzen is still going strong as the college’s longeststanding<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 />
