2 ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE 2013 | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT ENRICHING LIVES, BUILDING FUTURES THE ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE FOUNDATION

Looking back at the 2014-2015 academic year, Antelope Valley College is approaching the midpoint of its eighth decade of existence. From its humble beginnings to the magnicent institution that it is today, it is truly inspiring to see how far the college has progressed. The Antelope Valley College Foundation continues to progress, as well, in serving the college, its faculty, students and sta through nancial support. Our mission is to increase resources, raise funds and create friends and partnerships to support the educational mission of the college. The Foundation is able to meet those goals through the generous contributions of our many donors and benefactors listed in this annual report.

Antelope Valley College students remain at the top of the Foundation’s priority list. Both the college and the Foundation continue to face unforeseen challenges as we move into the future. However, with the economy continuing to remain stable, the Foundation in 2013-2014 was able to award nearly $200,000 in scholarships, raise more than $737,000 in tax-deductible donations and provide more than $620,680 in nancial support to the college.

As I begin my second year as Foundation President at Antelope Valley College, it is my goal to continue to strengthen the position of the Foundation nancially and move forward to increase our annual scholarships awarded, grants presented and nancial support to the faculty and sta.

Sustained growth and success is never a ‘given’. It only happens with dedication, hard work and support from our community. I would like to Chuck Church personally thank the Foundation’s generous individual, business, corporate and foundation donors for their support in the past and urge their continued support in the future.

Respectfully,

Chuck Church President, Antelope Valley College Foundation

ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE 2013 | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 7 STAFF PROFILE: DR. LOUIS LUCERO ’76

DIRECTOR KEEPS ON RUNNING

Dr. Louis Lucero knows what it means to overcome obstacles to achieve his goals. As his eyesight began to fail rapidly in high school, Louis didn’t let that stop him from running cross country and track. When he started his college education at Antelope Valley College, he hadn’t yet learned to read braille, so he had to rely on audio textbooks on reel-to-reel tapes. In order for Louis to run competitively at AVC, “they put big tires on the corners (of the track) or chalked a big line” to help him stay on course. Today, Louis is in a position where he can help others overcome their own barriers—just as so many people helped him through his formative years. As director of the Oce of Students with Disabilities at Antelope Valley College, Lucero and his sta helped approximately 1,600 students last year. Challenges faced by students include learning disabilities, mobility issues, vision, acquired brain injury and deafness. Assistance provided by the oce includes providing sign language interpreters and converting written text to braille. “We provide them with appropriate accommodations that level the playing eld so they can attain their educational goal,” said Louis. “When I reect on it, that’s what all oces do (help students achieve their goals). But I think there’s an extra piece: we give people hope. We believe in our people. We have hope for our students and I like it when you can just tell they’ve never been in an oce like this.” The oce Louis oversees is vastly dierent than what he encountered when he enrolled at AVC in 1974. At the time, there was no oce to support students with disabilities. Austin Jordan, his AVC coach and a counselor, set him up with audio textbooks consisting of reel-to-reel tapes. AVC was a good t for Louis. He grew up in Antelope Acres and attended school in Palmdale before entering Paraclete High School. “That was perfect because it was small, maybe 320 to 350 kids,” Louis said of Paraclete. “That’s where I got involved in running track and cross country. When I was at Paraclete, I could see relatively well to stay on the road by myself.” By the time Louis enrolled at AVC, his vision was severely impaired. Yet he kept running. He graduated in 1976. Perhaps no experience better illustrates Louis’ perseverance than when he was oered a spot in the 1976 Olympiad for the Physically Disabled held in Toronto, Canada. It marked the rst time that visually impaired athletes were allowed to participate. Louis didn’t have the money for the ight, so Coach Jordan and community members came to his aid to help pay for airfare for Louis and his mother. Two of his running buddies, Mike Brown and Bill Owens, bought new motorcycles and traveled to Toronto to cheer on Louis in his race. At the competition, Louis was given a jersey to wear in the race that was too small, so he wore his AVC jersey instead. Visually impaired runners were paired with sighted runners for the ve-mile cross country race. Dr. Lucero stands near a photo of Coach Austin Jordan and a (younger) Louis as an AVC athlete.

8 ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE 2013 | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Louis started out strong—apparently too strong for his guide runner. After about a mile, the guide runner dropped out of the race leaving Louis ghting to stay in the race by catching faint glimpses of a runner in front of him who still had his guide. “I was running on the heels of the guy in rst place,” Louis said. Louis kept running, but he was totally dependent on the runner and guide in front of him. As the runners neared the nal mile, Louis was joined on the course by his buddy, Mike. With Mike at his side wearing an Antelope Valley College jersey, Louis was able to overtake the lead runner and win the race in 28:32—less than 6-minute miles. Louis’s endurance in running was matched by his tenacity in not giving up the ght. After graduating AVC, Louis spent about three months at a facility operated by the National Federation of the Blind. There, he learned braille, the use of a cane and other experiences that built his condence in overcoming his visual impairment. He continued his education at California State University, Bakerseld (CSUB), where he continued to compete in track and cross country. He earned a bachelor’s degree in history and a minor in political science. “But I found it very dicult to get a job,” he said. He thought back to his time at AVC and he liked what his coach and friend Austin Jordan had done with his career by working in counseling. So, Louis went back to CSUB to get a master’s degree in counseling. With his master’s degree in hand, Louis moved to Los Angeles to live with his grandparents. There, he had the advantage of utilizing mass transit and, he hoped, job prospects would be better in a larger metropolitan area. Over the next several years he worked in a variety of positions: a drug counselor at Miramar Naval Air Station, a teacher at a Louisiana training facility for the visually impaired, and as a case worker for Monterey Park congressman Matthew Martinez. In 1989, Louis got word that the AVC disabilities director position was open. He applied to work at the college that was such an inuential part of his life and, following a nationwide search, Louis was hired May 8, 1989. The job is a perfect t for Louis, since Louis is in a position to inuence hundreds of other AVC students, just as did his AVC RECEIVES DONATION former coach and mentor. “Austin Jordan was a great inuence.

ENERGY USAGE AT AVC Annually, AVC reports its energy usage to the Chancellor’s oce based on BTUs used per gross square foot per week of instruction. Since 2001, AVC has decreased this energy usage by 52%. Without these savings, AVC would be spending $850,000 to $1,000,000 more per year for utilities. This ongoing energy savings is the combined outcome of many eorts. Numerous energy eciency projects around campus include newly constructed buildings utilizing state of the art energy eciency technologies, proper maintenance of HVAC equipment and lters, and scheduling of lighting and HVAC equipment. The college has several more energy eciency proposals underway that could provide additional signicant savings. AVC is diligent about energy savings and works hard to be good stewards of public resources. Lowering our utility bills results in more money for other college needs and a better future for our community.

ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE 2013 | 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 11 CAMPUS UPDATES

SOAR HIGH SCHOOL INVENTEAM RECEIVES GRANT Located on the AVC campus, SOAR (Students on the Academic Rise) High School is a STEM-magnet early-college high school program, which integrates college courses into the high school curriculum. In 2013, SOAR students became one of only 15 teams of high school students awarded approximately $10,000 in grant funding by the Lemelson-MIT Program. SOAR High School’s InvenTeam created a unique blood alcohol content (BAC) detection wristband, named ëris™. 1/8th the size of traditional breathalyzer technology, ëris™ has a miniature sensor located on the underside of the wrist. It works by simply blowing onto its sensor, where the presence of ethanol will trigger a charge that is converted into an LED light reaction. Three easy-to-read colors indicate the results: Yellow shows the device is warming-up, blue signals that the device is ready or that the user is safe to drive, and red means the user is over California’s legal BAC limit. The bracelet is estimated to cost $20 at retail, less than the price of comparable breathalyzers. InvenTeams showcased their projects at EurekaFest™, a multi-day celebration of the inventive spirit at MIT in June. The Lemelson-MIT Program celebrates outstanding inventors and inspires young people to pursue creative lives and careers through invention.

BOOKS H.E.L.P. PROGRAM The Books H.E.L.P. (Help Enhance Learning Possibilities) program was established in 2013 by a group of AVC employees to assist students in jeopardy of failing their courses because they did not have the resources to obtain the required study material for their classes. Federal laws had recently established additional processes that schools were required to complete prior to awarding nancial aid funding to students. Those requirements caused a delay for many students receiving their nancial aid grants. The average cost for books per semester for a student carrying a full load is approximately $500-$800. The Books H.E.L.P. program purchases required texts for Books H.E.L.P. Help Enhance Learning Possibilities classes taught at AVC, creating a library of books available to loan to students, at no cost, on a rst-come, rst-served basis. The books are to be returned at the end of the semester for use by other students. The Antelope Valley College Foundation awarded the program $1,500 in 2013. The following year the program was awarded $3,000 from an AVC Foundation grant and $10,000 from a STEM grant. The program was able to serve 48 students, each receiving at least one book for the semester. The need for textbooks continues to increase with our student population, changing editions, and increased textbook prices. You can support Books H.E.L.P. with a tax-deductible contribution to the “AVC Foundation—Books H.E.L.P.” You can make a dierence in the lives of our students through your support!
