Foundation Annual Report 2009–2010 | Investing in Possibilities letter from the Foundation president and college president

AT COMMUNITy COLLEGE OF PHILADELPHIA, we are deeply committed to investing in the future. We know our students are making a signifi cant investment in themselves, often as the very fi rst members of their families to study at the postsecondary level. They invest their time, money and effort in higher education to upgrade their skills, to begin their journey toward a bachelor’s degree or to benefi t from the increased earning power that comes with completing an associate’s degree.

At the same time, the College invests in our students on a number of levels, such as hiring top quality faculty, refi ning our curriculum and providing hundreds of much-needed scholarships each year. Scholarship support of Community College of Philadelphia is an exceptional investment. Because the College keeps tuition costs competitive, each scholarship dollar goes far, yielding more return than it would at a private university.

Perhaps the most exciting investment that is currently under way at the College is Expanding Possibilities — our fi rst-ever fundraising campaign with the largest and most ambitious goal in our history. We are seeking $10 million in public and private support to help realize our plans and meet the $85 million cost of expand- ing our facilities, scholarship offerings and programs.

Please take a moment to look through these pages and get to know our students. We hope you also will help us celebrate those individuals, corporations, and community and government organizations who invest in the future with us through their support of the College. Together, we make the path to possibilities a reality.

Sincerely,

Stephen M. Curtis A.E. Piscopo President President Community College of Philadelphia Community College of Philadelphia Foundation

Investing in a Commitment to Community About the College

Mission Community College of Philadelphia is an open admission, associate’s degree-granting institution that provides access to higher education for all who may benefit. Its programs of study in the liberal arts and sciences, career technologies and basic academic skills provide a coherent foundation for college transfer, employment and lifelong learning. The College serves Phila- delphia by preparing its students to be informed and concerned citizens, active participants in the cultural life of the city, and enabled to meet the changing needs of business, industry and the professions. To help address broad economic, cultural and political concerns in the city and beyond, the College draws together students from a wide range of ages and backgrounds, and seeks to provide the programs and support they need to achieve their goals.

Looking Back at 2009-2010 The spotlight has shone brightly on community colleges over the past year. President Obama has identified our institutions as playing a key role in boosting America’s economy. Jobs requiring associate’s degrees or greater are projected to grow twice as quickly as those for which a degree is not necessary. In order to keep those jobs in our country, we must educate our workforce appropriately.

Community College of Philadelphia has responded quickly to the demands of the economy and the community, acting even before national, state and local resources became available. We’re finding creative ways to do more with less, whether that means opening new virtual academic and student support centers, like the Center for Science and Engineering Education and the Center for Male Engagement; creating proficiency certificate programs that help students earn credentials quickly, so they can re-enter the workforce on a more rewarding career path; or pioneering programs to introduce more people in our community to the opportunities at the College, encouraging them to continue their education and find their path to possibilities.

“Becoming a nurse was one of my childhood dreams. As a registered nurse in Romania, my grand- mother was my inspiration and my role model. She took the time to show me what it really means to care for people and I was able to see how fulfilling this can be. I was about six years old when she took me to the hospital where she was working and that was an experience I will never forget. That was the moment when my desire to become a nurse started.” —Liliana Banciu

t is the College’s mission to serve this community, and we do so not just by Ieducating, but also through additional community outreach. As the only public institu- tion of higher learning in the city, we are committed to preparing our students for careers that are both rewarding for the student and in demand in our region, ensuring that both the student and the community benefit. The College is expanding our Main Campus and Northeast Regional Center sites to better support the Philadelphia community and meet the growing demand for a high-quality, affordable and accessible education.

7 Investing in the Architects of Education Foundation Mini-Grant Programs

The Foundation mini-grant programs are vital resources in fulfilling the College’s mission to grow ideas and support the pursuit of scholarly works. Beginning with their first grants in 1996, the Foundation has awarded $329,656 in support of 139 projects led by full-time faculty, administrators and staff. Nearly $27,000 was provided in 2009-2010 to support 10 projects.

Wanamaker Program

The Wanamaker Scholars Program, is a partnership between the College, the Wanamaker Institute of Industries and the Philadelphia Workforce Development Corporation, provides free education and training to unemployed and underemployed city residents. Last year, 75 students completed training to become pharmacy technicians, nurse aides and medical billing and coding specialists.

Wanamaker Scholar: Fauzia Abdur-Rahman Before she read about the Wanamaker Scholars Program, Fauzia Abdur-Rahman was looking for a chance to break into the medical field. Currently studying to become a registered nurse, the longtime, self-proclaimed health enthusiast wanted to get into the medical field because she wanted a challenging career within a stable field. “The Wanamaker Pharmacy Technician program felt like a good starting point,” said Abdur-Rahman. The 27-year-old is currently studying for her pharmacy technician certification exam.

Wanamaker Scholar: Khaalis Waller When the pre-pharmacy program where Khaalis Waller was studying in New Orleans became too expensive to afford, the 32-year-old came home to Philadelphia and considered his options. He learned of the Wanamaker Institute of Industries’ Pharmacy Technician program on the College’s website. Waller completed his coursework in spring 2010 and was soon hired by Enclara Health in New Jersey as a pharmacy technician.

Attendees included colleagues, friends, family and neighbors, as well as neighborhood businesses. More than $3,300 was raised in support of the College’s Emergency Book Fund.

“It’s a way to fundraise and ‘friend raise,’” said Foundation Board member Jacques Ferber, who brought the concept to the College Foundation Board from previous fundraising experience. “We get the word out about what the College is and does to people who might not otherwise know about it.” (From left) Susan Kaup, Robert J.

15 Investing Together Grant Funding

Securing grant funding from a wide number of governmental, foundation, corporate and private sources is a major priority of the Office of Institutional Advancement. With these funds, the College is able to offer innovative educational programs and services for students. Last year, $8,297,810 was raised from an array of grant-making organizations.

U.S. Department of Education, Business and International Education Program — $189,125 Title VIB: Area Studies Approach to Strengthening International Business Education at Community College of Philadelphia: China

The goal of this pilot project is to enable the College’s Business students to attain the international and inter-cultural competen- cies and perspectives needed to support the Philadelphia business community as it engages in increased international economic activity. Project objectives are to: 1) provide Business faculty with training and professional development to help them to infuse relevant international business education modules into business course materials; 2) enhance the International Business education curriculum at the College; 3) increase the number of Business students (including underrepresented minorities) studying foreign languages and international studies; and 4) establish an internship program with a study abroad component that will enable Business students to develop their language skills and their knowledge of foreign cultures and societies. The pilot will target students enrolled in the College’s Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management program and will focus on Chinese language and culture. However, it is anticipated that upon completion of the grant, the model will be applied and replicated in other areas within the College’s Business programs and disseminated nationally to other community colleges.

U.S. Department of Labor, Pathways Out of Poverty Program — $3,184,428 Job Ready Training Program

This grant will enable the College, in collaboration with the Urban Industry Initiative; Energy Coordinating Agency; Educational Data Systems Inc.; Pennsylvania CareerLinks Philadelphia; National Comprehensive Center for Fathers; Local Union 502 of Iron- workers and other partners to implement the 24-month Job Ready Training Program (JRTP). The JRTP will prepare 250 unemployed workers and low-income, disadvantaged individuals (including ex-offenders and veterans) living in the urban neighborhoods of Port Richmond, Kensington, and upper and lower North Philadelphia for entry-level green-collar positions in Philadelphia’s green manufacturing and construction/weatherization industries.

“I want to build a career in finance, specifically in risk management. I already have a cer- tificate in finance and accounting but because the road to a financial career in the 21st century is paved with mathematics — specifically with calculus and probability — I decided to pursue an associate’s degree in Mathematics at Community College of Philadelphia. A concrete credential in mathematics will make my applications to business schools, to master’s of finance programs, and, eventually, for employment at banks, hedge funds and private equity firms much more competitive.” ­ — Andrew Owiti

“Without an education, I found myself working many long and hard hours to support myself and my son. In 2006, I became severely injured at work and needed back and knee surgery. The doctors told me that I would never be able to perform physical work again. This is the reason I decided to return to school and earn a degree. I chose the Facility Man- agement program as I have an extensive background in maintenance and repair. Having a degree in the field would allow me to utilize my knowledge and still be involved without injuring myself again.” — Richard Potter

“Based on my own life experiences, I have realized that sometimes life can be a little over- whelming, and because of that we can all make poor choices. This is the reason why I left Temple University with a GPA much lower than what I expected. The good thing about my life is that I received a second chance and have support from loved ones. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and feel much more confident about school than I felt four years ago.” — Amina Ra-Hatt

“After I graduate with the A.A.S. in Construction Management from Community College of Philadelphia, I plan on acquiring my general contractor’s license.

With this credential, my building experience, and my A.A.S. in Construction Management, I know that my opportunities for success and my goal of positively impacting communities are well within my grasp.” — Max Webber

“Can you imagine being homeless at the young age of 14? Can you imagine having a substance abuse problem at the age of 19 and having to be placed in a recovery house? Unfortunately, I can imagine it because that’s what I went through. Two years ago, out of desperation, I stopped using. I instilled a new way of thinking and believing in myself. I enrolled into Community College of Philadelphia. The College is truly my ‘path to possibilities’ and helped me begin my passion to gain an education and establish my future career and educational goals.” — Julianne Lewis, In Memory of Dr. Almarin Phillips

“I find myself at the College trying to better my life by furthering my education. The College has given me the opportunity to take full advantage of this second chance on life. The College has made it possible for me to correct the mistakes of my past by striving toward a future I never thought I could attain. The newfound hope I have in my spirit is the driving force in my life, and I would like to use that hope to pursue a career where I can make a difference in people’s lives.” — Michael Olenik, In Memory of Dr. Almarin Phillips

“My educational goal is to learn as much as I can about the field of nursing one step at a time. I am determined to advance directly into a bachelor’s program and continue to a master’s degree shortly thereafter. My career goal is to specialize in the medical field of pediatric oncology. The thought of helping a child who is suffering from a terminal illness is the most rewarding idea that can cross my mind.” — Daniel L. Bevan, Farmbry Family Foundation Scholar

“My varied interest in life and the world around me is why I decided to pursue a Liberal Arts degree at Community College. This curriculum allows me the ability of exposure to a wide area of intellectual disciplines while being able to complete the core courses needed for me to continue my educa- tion at a four-year institution. My intention after receiving my associate’s degree is to major in psychology while pursuing my bachelor’s degree, with a concentration of courses relating to both child and positive psychology.” — Lealeitha J.
