DREAMS<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 – 2007


Our Mission...<br />

<strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation is dedicated to helping students<br />

open doors to their futures with financial aid, scholarships and<br />

educational resources.<br />

Our Vision...<br />

To inspire the community to invest in the academic and career dreams<br />

of our students, empowering them to enhance community leadership<br />

and prosperity.


GREETINGS from the<br />

Foundation’s Chair and Executive Director<br />

Annual Report 2007:<br />

Thank you for helping make the Foundation’s 40th Anniversary year a memorable<br />

one. This past year we officially celebrated 40 years of “helping students to open doors<br />

to their futures with financial aid, scholarships and educational resources.” We celebrate<br />

40 years of individual, corporate, business and foundation commitments to our important<br />

mission. We are most grateful to each and every donor who has made this possible.<br />

During the past 12 months, we successfully completed our historic Community<br />

Investment Campaign. Not only did we meet our initial goal of $3 million, we exceeded<br />

it by more than $555,000! This was made possible by an amazing $1 million gift from<br />

The Robert Wood Johnson 1962 Charitable Trust. This two-part gift consisted of a<br />

$500,000 outright gift for student scholarships and a second $500,000 challenge. The<br />

Trust agreed to match all new gifts to the Campaign between October and the end<br />

of December 2006! This challenge empowered alumni, faculty, staff, and community<br />

supporters to make many new or additional Campaign commitments. We wish to<br />

express our sincere gratitude to the Johnson family for their generosity, leadership,<br />

vision and historic commitment to <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> and the Foundation.<br />

We have increased visibility of the Foundation’s mission via the web, print and<br />

digital media. Our redesigned Foundation web site received over 45,000 hits to date.<br />

Our site now includes a special “thank you” video to Johnson & Johnson for their<br />

historic support of the <strong>College</strong> and Foundation mission. Furthermore, our site provides<br />

prospective donors who have an interest in making a planned gift the information and<br />

tools necessary to help them decide which method best meets their personal financial<br />

and philanthropic goals. We are grateful to the members of our Legacy Society who<br />

have chosen to make major planned gift commitments to ensure the continuation and<br />

growth of the Foundation’s mission. To date, gifts of bequests, insurance, trusts and gift<br />

annuities promised to the Foundation total nearly $800,000.<br />

The Foundation’s mission became better known and supported as a result of the<br />

Community Investment Campaign. This year, we will be building on our success by<br />

using the tried and true methods that helped us surpass our campaign goal. You will<br />

begin to hear about our Annual Campaign, whose theme is “Empowering Dreams.”<br />

Our goal is to award 1,000 or more scholarships to deserving <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

students in perpetuity by the end of 2010. To do this we need to broaden the base of<br />

those who believe in our mission and will make annual gift commitments. If you are<br />

reading this annual report, it is likely that you are already an annual supporter. If so,<br />

you know the satisfaction that comes with helping our students achieve their academic<br />

<strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation • 1


and career dreams. Thank you for your generosity. <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> offers its<br />

students a quality and affordable higher education. The Foundation and its supporters work<br />

to make it easier for deserving students to attend and complete their academic program or<br />

degree.<br />

Together we are making an amazing difference in the lives of <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> students. Together over the past 40 years, we have distributed $7,726,000 in<br />

scholarship awards to 10,772 deserving students. Together we have changed forever the<br />

lives of many students, 70% of whom were the first in their families to access a college<br />

education. None of this would have been achievable without the generous support of<br />

those corporations, foundations, businesses and individuals who have invested in their<br />

futures. Together we have changed their lives and that of their families while providing<br />

the communities in which they reside with a well educated and informed workforce and<br />

citizenry. Imagine what we can accomplish together over the next 40 years! Due to limited<br />

funds, only 60 percent of students who need financial assistance to attend <strong>Middlesex</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> are able to receive it. There is so much more left for us to do together.<br />

Thanks for all you have done and will do in the future to help deserving <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> students reach their full potential.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Chair Executive Director


We are proud to report that in our 40th Anniversary year, 2006/2007, <strong>Middlesex</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation achieved unprecedented success. Our mission of “Helping<br />

students open doors to their futures with financial aid, scholarships and educational<br />

resources” was advanced via the strong finish of our Community Investment Campaign<br />

and the generosity of both new and loyal supporters. Together, these contributors have<br />

given generously to ensure deserving <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> students have the<br />

financial resources necessary to help achieve their academic goals. These donors are<br />

truly Empowering Dreams.<br />

Empowering Dreams at <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> speaks to the likelihood that a<br />

scholarship recipient may be the first in his family to access a college education. Having<br />

achieved a degree, these students will be more likely to send their own children to<br />

college. Empowering Dreams describes the effect of a scholarship for a single mother<br />

or as a career-changer working to improve his/her quality of life through education. It<br />

also describes the affect scholarship support has on students like Namema Amendi,<br />

an immigrant from Kenya. His dream was to come to the United States and receive<br />

a medical education in order to assist the many people he witnessed suffering from<br />

diseases like malaria, AIDS, and typhoid in the neighborhood of his youth. A Foundation<br />

scholarship helped him graduate with honors this past May. His <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> education helped him to qualify for another prestigious scholarship which is<br />

allowing him to continue as a pre-med student at Columbia this fall. By empowering<br />

his dreams, Foundation donors have created a ripple effect to strengthen the community<br />

as a whole. Imagine the many lives Namema will touch because he was, through the help<br />

of a Foundation scholarship, able to pursue his dream of a medical education.<br />

Between July 2006 and June 2007, 20 new named scholarships were established<br />

with the Foundation. This brings the total named scholarships to 90, representing the<br />

largest number of named scholarship funds among the 21 community colleges in<br />

New Jersey. The criteria used to select a recipient is as diverse as the <strong>College</strong>’s degree<br />

program and its student population.<br />

In addition to the named scholarship funds, (see list on next page) general<br />

contributions to the Foundation allow for additional scholarships to be awarded<br />

to the students with the greatest financial need. In all, more than 620 scholars had their<br />

dreams empowered through Foundation scholarship assistance in academic year<br />

2006 – 2007. But that’s not all —<br />

General contributions and endowment earnings also allow the Foundation to fund<br />

key educational programs and benefit every single <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> student.<br />

In 2006 – 2007, Foundation grants supported a faculty lecture series, a special Library<br />

program for English as a Second Language, a pilot program using electronic portfolios<br />

to assess student progress, and the <strong>College</strong> Alumni Magazine, <strong>Middlesex</strong> Now.


The Foundation extends grateful appreciation to the benefactors listed in this<br />

report for significantly advancing our mission and making great things happen on campus<br />

during the past year. Some other highlights of the past year include:<br />

The annual Community Celebration, held October 5, 2006, hosted by the<br />

Foundation Board of Directors, recognized scholarship benefactors and major<br />

contributors. The Community Celebration is an opportunity for benefactors to meet and<br />

congratulate recipients and for recipients to thank their benefactors. Over 135 guests<br />

attended the 2006 event. During the evening, Campaign Co-Chairs, Gerald M. Ostrov<br />

and John V. Visceglia announced a $1 million commitment from the Robert Wood<br />

Johnson 1962 Charitable Trust to the Community Investment Campaign.<br />

The Trust’s gift consisted of two very important parts — $500,000 for general<br />

endowed scholarship support and a $500,000 dollar for dollar challenge for every<br />

new commitment made to the Campaign by December 31, 2006.<br />

Response to the Trust’s challenge was both enthusiastic and broad-based. As a<br />

result, the Community Investment Campaign exceeded its original $3 million goal by<br />

more than $555,000. More than 362 contributors from all segments of the community —<br />

individual supporters, college alumni, corporations, foundations, campus community<br />

and community organizations joined together to ensure a historic success. The<br />

Campaign came to an exciting close as scheduled on December 31, 2006.<br />

The success of the Community Investment Campaign also made it possible for<br />

the Foundation to provide grants to support important <strong>College</strong> programs that impact<br />

students. Beneficiaries of these grants totaling $500,000 include: faculty support,<br />

<strong>College</strong> Library, <strong>College</strong> Urban Centers in New Brunswick and Perth Amboy and<br />

Minority Student Affairs.<br />

A Campaign Victory Celebration was held on February 2, 2007. Contributors<br />

representing the entire community: alumni, board members, faculty, staff, corporations,<br />

foundations and friends joined to toast the Campaign’s success. Guests were greeted<br />

under a large “Thank You” banner to lavish hors d’oeuvres, decadent desserts, and<br />

champagne. Campaign Co-Chairman John V. Visceglia expressed his sincere appreciation<br />

to all whose generosity and efforts made this historic milestone possible. An added<br />

highlight of the evening was an exceptional art auction of works donated by <strong>Middlesex</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> students, alumni and faculty. An original oil painting, commissioned by<br />

the Foundation to commemorate the Campaign, was presented to <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> President, Dr. Joann La Perla-Morales, in recognition of the nearly $100,000 in<br />

Thank you to all who participated in the unprecedented success of the Campaign.<br />

Your support will be empowering dreams and providing resources to help <strong>Middlesex</strong><br />

<strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> students for years to come.<br />

The success of the Community Investment Campaign will continue through a<br />

renewed emphasis on the Annual Campaign in the coming year. It is hoped that new<br />

supporters who were inspired to help our students during the campaign will continue<br />

to assist <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> students through regular annual gifts. A particular<br />

point of pride is the number of Alumni contributors who joined in the initiative. Their<br />

participation is a strong endorsement of the <strong>College</strong>’s success in providing a quality,<br />

accessible education to a diverse student body and to provide life long learning for the<br />

community. Alumni comprised the largest group of campaign donors, demonstrating<br />

their strong belief in alma mater. The Foundation continued to receive generous gifts<br />

to its Annual Campaign in 2006 – 2007.<br />

Foundation events add sparkle and enjoyment to our fund raising efforts each year.<br />

The 24th Annual Scholarship Golf Classic was held on September 18, 2006. More than<br />

85 golfers and luncheon guests enjoyed a beautiful day on the links. Contests provided<br />

great fun and impressive play throughout the day. The big winners were our students —<br />

more than $44,500 was raised. Chairman Brian Legg and a dedicated committee are<br />

already working to “Beat their Best” in 2007. A new venue, special prizes, new contests,<br />

and special recognition of an outstanding Foundation founder are planned for the 25th<br />

Anniversary Outing to be held on September 17, 2007 at Colonia Country Club.<br />

The 38th Annual Scholarship Ball was held at the <strong>County</strong>’s newest address for<br />

elegance in New Brunswick, The Heldrich, on April 28th. The Provident Bank Foundation<br />

received the evening’s award in recognition of their outstanding support of <strong>Middlesex</strong><br />

students and quality education in the community. The Provident Bank Foundation,<br />

President Paul Pantozzi, surprised a delighted audience by announcing that The


Provident Bank Foundation would fund an additional scholarship in honor of<br />

John P. Mulkerin. Mr. Mulkerin is a member of both the <strong>College</strong> and the bank’s Board<br />

of Trustees and is former Chairman of the <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation.<br />

The impact of his personal leadership is evident at the Foundation and other worthy<br />

organizations he supports. This new endowed scholarship in his name will ensure that<br />

his legacy of support to deserving <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> students continues.<br />

While Ball guests danced the night away, they also anticipated the results of a<br />

diamond raffle and extensive selection of silent auction items. Event Chairperson,<br />

Barbara Bernard, was gracious in expressing her gratitude to all who assisted in<br />

creating a memorable evening. The Ball raised more than $142,000 in support of<br />

the Foundation’s mission.<br />

Corporate Mission Partners helped to ensure that Foundation initiatives start<br />

off on a successful track each year. These Partners provide early support for the Golf<br />

Classic, Scholarship Ball, Annual Campaign, and Community Celebration. Their pro-active<br />

leadership demonstrates a strong belief in our students and the Foundation’s ability<br />

to inspire the community to invest in helping students to achieve their academic and<br />

career goals.<br />

Henry David Thoreau stated, "If you have built castles in the air, your work is not<br />

lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." Foundation<br />

contributors give <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> students the resources needed to obtain<br />

a quality education. That education provides the foundation for their dreams. Thank you<br />

for your support during the past year. Thank you for your belief in our students’ abilities.<br />

Thank you for empowering dreams.<br />

IN MEMORY<br />

It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of two long-time<br />

Foundation leaders: Dr. Sidney Danzis and John C. Kenny. Dr. Sidney Danzis, husband<br />

of former <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> President Dr. Rose Channing, was founder and<br />

retired chairperson of <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Dental Hygiene Program. John C.<br />

Kenny, husband of Ann Kenny, was a long time <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> Professor.<br />

Both men were active and inspirational Foundation Directors whose dedication to the<br />

futures of <strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>College</strong> students was always demonstrated through their<br />

words and actions. We will miss their wit and wisdom, leadership and service; but<br />

mostly the pleasure of their friendship. We wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to<br />

their wives and their families.
