2018 Annual Report Indian Hills Community College Foundation Dear alumni, friends, and donors,

Every year, it is the mission of the Indian Hills Community College Foundation to create Life.Changing. opportunities for our students, and this year was no exception. Not only has the Foundation staff been hard at work awarding students scholarships, but we have also been developing new opportunities to attract area students to Indian Hills. With the inception of our Connect 2 College concurrent credit scholarship, we were able to help over 180 students who worked hard in high school by completing classes for both high school and college credit. These students were awarded $600 scholarships for their efforts. This scholarship can be used in conjunction with other Foundation awards, which helps our students make their hard-earned dollars go further.

The Foundation has developed the Just in Time grant and Veterans Serving Veterans fund to help students already enrolled with the college. The Just in Time grant is awarded to students who have obstacles preventing them from succeeding in school. These obstacles can vary from a flat tire to child care issues. The Foundation feels it is important to help eliminate barriers that may prevent our students from focusing on their education. The Just in Time grant helps to alleviate some of the everyday obstacles our students may face. The Veterans Serving Veterans fund is similar in that it helps our students overcome everyday obstacles, but this fund was started by Veterans to support student Veterans.

The Indian Hills Foundation will continue to develop methods to ensure our scholarship opportunities are meeting the needs of our students. It is our goal for the 2018-19 academic year to award scholarships to 1000 students. We have every intention of meeting that goal. Not only are we working to develop strategic methods to recruit students, the Foundation office wants to ensure those students already attending Indian Hills have all of the resources necessary to succeed. The Foundation office will continue to systematically evaluate our scholarships and processes, to ensure that we will continue to act as a catalyst for change in the lives of our students.

We would not be able to impact the lives of our students if it weren’t for the support of donors such as yourself. Thank you for your continued support year after year. If you want additional information about any of the new funds or scholarships discussed above, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Foundation office.

Thank you again for the support you’ve given us It drives us every day in our mission to create Life. Changing. opportunities for our students.

SCHOLARSHIP

The McKay-Pechacek Family Scholarship spotlight It’s hard to imagine that a mighty oak tree can come from a tiny acorn, but time and patience can make it happen.

In 2013, former Ottumwa attorney Tim McKay was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was told he had just a year to live. In recognition of his years with his former law firm, one of his law partners created a scholarship at Indian Hills. He funded it with a small initial contribution and it was named the Tim McKay scholarship (the tiny acorn).

Somewhat later in 2014, Tim took three steps to further the idea of a significant scholarship at the College: • He provided that any memorial contributions made upon his death go toward the scholarship fund. • He enlisted the support of his siblings and cousins to contribute to the fund upon his death. His wishes were expressed in a letter to them:

“In 2006, I became an adjunct faculty member at Indian Hills and at Buena Vista University, the latter of which is headquartered in Storm Lake, Iowa (near Sioux city) but has a satellite campus at Indian Hills. I taught about a half dozen law and political science courses at both schools. I really enjoyed teaching- in fact, I loved it- so I could not think of a better way to give something back to those two schools and to my community than by making a substantial financial contribution to a scholarship program that will bear my name. This scholarship program is extremely important to me. I really want to help the kind of kids I’ve had the pleasure to teach for the last seven years, and to do so for many years after my tenure at Indian Hills has been forgotten.”

• He changed the name of the fund to “McKay- Pechacek Family Scholarship” in recognition of his mother’s family, his siblings and cousins.

“I’ll be happy to change the name of the scholarship fund to the “McKay-Pechacek Family Scholarship to reflect the generosity of all of you in establishing this fund. After all, I can’t do it without your kindness and your consent, and changing the name of the fund would be an easy way to formally acknowledge your part in doing so.”

Tim died in May of 2015, and additional funds were given to the scholarship then.

In March of 2018, the McKay-Pechacek fund received a letter from a representative of the family enclosing eight individual contributions voluntarily made by Tim’s siblings and cousins which were substantial and which will endow financial aid to students in perpetuity. Keep in mind that this gift was initially established by a friend and colleague, which inspired a man, his siblings and cousins to further contribute to establish a significant gift to help others, all the while dealing with the most personal of losses. A truly selfless act to support students at Indian Hills Community College.

Those of us that knew Tim are convinced that he rests easy knowing that his acorn has grown to a mighty oak providing financial shelter for future generations of students.

Tim’s story is not only touching, it is a reminder to us all how easy it is to leave such a powerful legacy. Leaving behind an endowed gift that benefits students for years to come is a simple process. Anyone wishing to learn more can contact Blaire Siems at 641.683.5115. - JNM

14 DESIGNATED & MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Many special scholarships have been established within the Foundation. Those that are currently active during the 2017-2018 academic year are listed below except those noted with an asterisk (*), which are established for future use. A designated or named scholarship is one set up by an individual, business, industry, or group with a minimum contribution of $600. A memorial scholarship is one set up with the memorial funds received from family and friends or through a trust established as a result of a last will and testament.
