Foundation Annual Report NHCC Foundation 2012 Annual Report creating access Changing Lives Creating Access is at the core of all that we do To me, access means that you don’t have to earn a certain ACT score or be a star athlete to go to college. It means that you don’t have to come from a reputable family or earn a lot of money to get an education and make a better future for yourself and your family. At the NHCC Foundation, we work to ensure access to higher education through scholarships, institutional support, and special programs because we know these things change lives. In recent years, reduced state funding has caused a steady increase in tuition at public institutions across the country and in Minnesota. Support from the NHCC Foundation has made it possible for hundreds of low- income, first-generation college students to be able to go to college while avoiding huge college debt and student loan payments later. Access means taking away transportation barriers. Many of our students take the bus to campus each day and their future is contingent on whether or not they can afford a bus pass. This year, the Foundation provided nearly $10,000 in discount bus passes to NHCC students, removing this potential barrier to their success. Soon, a new light rail system will give our students even more access to the college, with the Bottineau Line scheduled to connect NHCC with downtown Minneapolis and the new Target campus just north of us in Brooklyn Park. Access also means believing in our students and acknowledging their potential. At this year’s scholarship luncheon, alumna Wendy Hanson shared an inspiring story that touched me and many others. She told us that receiving a scholarship was an honor and a blessing, not only because of the financial relief it brought, but because it showed her that someone believed in her. During Wendy’s time at North Hennepin, she started to see her change reflected in the eyes of those around her - her faculty, advisors, friends, and family. Her identity evolved. Her confidence grew. And her personal goals evolved as she continued to surpass them. And finally, access means offering facilities, equipment, and programming that one might not expect at a two- year college. NHCC’s unique undergraduate research program is a perfect example of a Foundation-supported program with students receiving national recognition and being selected for coveted research lab positions and internships as a result of their work in modern laboratories, using the latest equipment. The NHCC Foundation can point to many Many Ways to Give achievements that have improved access over the past year, such as the opening of the new Center for Business and Technology, continued support for There are many ways to support North Hennepin undergraduate research and Cornerstones programs, Community College – direct financial support, in-kind launching of a food cupboard on campus, development gifts, or the gift of your time.

Volunteer – You become the backbone of our success when you donate your time and talents to serve on boards, committees, and at Foundation events. Foundation Board of Directors President Distinguished Alumnus James Garvey Jon Vezner Vice President Chip Norris When he was young, Treasurer Jon Vezner was Dave Kiser frequently teased. “I had a lisp and club Directors feet, so I’d come home Mark Austin miserable from school,” he says. “I’d Andy Cochrane go to my room, cry, Wendy Hanson and listen to music. Paul Melchior Music was the one Kathy Sandeen thing that spoke to me Terry Sharp kindly. I remember Jim Snoxell thinking, ‘I’d like to Lynette Stenglein do this for somebody Joseph Wallace else someday.’” Ex Officio Jon couldn’t read John O'Brien, NHCC President music and didn’t play Jennifer Summer-Lambrecht, Executive Director an instrument, but knew he could learn from North Hennepin Community College’s reputable music program. He signed up for piano lessons and a music theory class taught by Dr. Don Dahlin, or “Doc” as Jon refers to him. “Doc strongly encouraged me to follow my dream of a career in music,” Jon says. “If it hadn’t been for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” After completing his studies at NHCC in the 1970s, Jon earned a B.A. in Music Education and Music Theory at Southwest Minnesota State University. He planned to use his degree to teach music, but the pull of Nashville and its strong songwriting community was irresistible. Artists such as Martina McBride, John Mellencamp, Nancy Griffith, Faith Hill, Reba McEntire, and Ronnie Milsap have all recorded his songs. But it was a song he co-wrote with Don Henry called “Where’ve You Been?” that earned Jon true fame. Recorded by his wife, Kathy Mattea, the song won a Grammy Award for “Best Country Song” and “Song of the Year” from both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music in 1990. Jon continues to write, produce, and perform, but he also loves to teach and inspire the next generation by holding workshops, seminars, and residencies all over the country.

  • Target Field, Don't Forget About Bruce Lambrecht
    In writing history of Target Field, don't forget about Bruce Lambrecht Standing on his so-called Rapid Park site behind Target Center, Bruce Lambrecht had a sta- dium dream, but wound up being called greedy in the process. He’s stand- ing where he thought home plate should belo- cated By Jeff Wheeler, Star Tribune Jon Tevlin Columnist | Metro Phone: 612-673-1702 Long before the crowds and the hoopla surrounding the new Twins stadium, before the excitement and the accolades, be- fore Joe Mauer's first hit in the new house or Francisco Liriano's first strikeout, a guy stood alone in a parking lot and saw it all. At first people called him crazy, and kicked him out of meetings. They said the space was too small for baseball. They said the location wasn't accessible. They noted it was next to a garbage burner. Later, when they changed their minds, the guy, Bruce Lambrecht, became a pariah. He was called "greedy," a hypocrite and an impediment to a new ballpark. When you sit in the stands and see the skyline down the right field line, you'll see that Lambrecht was right: It's a nice spot to watch guys chase baseballs. But Lambrecht probably won't be throwing out the first pitch anytime soon. In fact, his name has not even been mentioned amid all the stadium praise. But Mark Oyaas, a founder of New Ballpark Inc. and a big stadium booster, is one of those who like to call Lambrecht "the forgotten man." You can decide whether he should be or not.
