were both named emeriti board members.
EARLY IN ITS 40-YEAR HISTORY, NORTHAMPTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE BECAME ONE OF
the first community colleges in the country to establish a foundation to seek private support for the
College mission. The decision has had a lasting impact, enabling the College to achieve a “margin of
excellence” that has eluded many other colleges.
At its annual meeting in December, the Foundation honored some of the volunteer leaders and
donors whose efforts and generosity have helped NCC earn this distinction.
The Board of Trustees Award — given only 11 times during NCC’s history — was presented
to Paul Mack, the former chair of the Foundation board and an enthusiastic champion of NCC. “We
value Paul’s leadership, time, counsel and generosity,” President Scott said. “He has been our go-to
person.” Mack and his wife, Harriett, have supported NCC in many forms since 1984; the College
library is named after them.
John F. Eureyecko, the current chair of the Foundation, presented the Chairman’s Award to
Kathy Friedenberg, professor of radiography, and Carolyn Moyer, registrar. This award is given to
members of the College staff, outside the advancement office, whose efforts signifi cantly advance
the work of the Foundation. Bruce Davis, Esq. was also recognized for 37 years of outstanding
service on the Foundation board.
The individuals and businesses listed at right were inducted into the Foundation’s Cornerstone
and Laureate societies, and into three new giving societies: the 1967, Legacy and Founders societies
recognize donors who have given (or caused to be given) gifts ranging from $10,000 over three years
to a cumulative total of greater than $1,000,000.
