6 | FALL 2016 ANNUAL REPORT & MAGAZINE| thomas.edu Bingham Scholars
The Betterment Fund was created through the will of the late William Bingham, a resident of Bethel, who died in 1955. Mr. Bingham was a self-effacing philanthropist with an abiding interest in education and the improvement of health services in the State of Maine. Since Mr. Bingham’s death, the Betterment Fund has established scholarships at several Maine colleges, including Thomas.
Charles P. Ryan Memorial Scholarship
Charlie Ryan graduated from Thomas in 1977 and was a beloved star of the basketball team. Prior to attending Thomas, Charlie played high school basketball at Power Memorial Academy in New York—the same high school attended by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He was recruited to Thomas by then-coach Dick Meader and played from 1972 to 1976.
Throughout his career at Thomas and afterwards, Ryan served as a role model for young basketball players in Maine and Queens, New York. He was actively involved with the Pine Tree Basketball Camp and other camps around the State of Maine. According to Meader, Ryan’s name was synonymous with summer basketball in Maine. Boys and girls who attended basketball camps in Maine during the 70s, 80s, and 90s knew Charlie Ryan’s name.
He also taught at schools in New York City. He was very reflective on his experiences growing up in a low-income housing project and then teaching students from similar housing projects later in life.
Though Charlie passed away on Christmas Day 1995, he is remembered both in the Thomas Athletic Hall of Fame and at an annual men’s basketball tournament named in his honor.
Nick Fortin, Bernard Osher Scholar
Nick Fortin ’19 from Standish says that without scholarships, he would not have been able to attend Thomas College. A Management major and International business minor, Fortin is involved with philanthropy projects through the Kappa Delta Phi fraternity on campus.
Nick is happy he found a home at Thomas. “I like Thomas because of the small classes, small community, and everybody is very nice on campus. And it’s helped me grow into a better person. I have more confidence than ever.”
THOMAS MAGAZINE 7 The Francis F. Bartlett, Jr. Scholarship Fund Th Frank F. Bartlett, Jr. served Thomas longer than any other trustee, joining the Board in 1977 and remaining active until his passing in 2003. He saw the College through some of its most difficult times and was there to witness its greatest successes. Throughout his time on the Board, Frank was quiet, thoughtful, decisive and generous. He made many friends both on and off the Thomas campus and quietly helped numerous young adults make the choice to attend college, often helping them financially.
Frank received an M.B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and was treasurer and president of Boothby & Bartlett Company in Waterville. He devoted himself to community affairs, serving on the boards of many local institutions.
Already Thomas’s largest donor while alive (and honored with the Bartlett Hall residence), upon his death, he left the College more than $3.5 million in endowed scholarship support.
Andree Sofia, Francis F. Bartlett, Jr. Scholar
Andree Sofia ’18 always knew she wanted to work with children. It wasn’t until she was searching for colleges that she realized her true dream was to build her own organization to help children. “In high school, I worked with single parents who had trouble finding child care,” she recalls. “I wanted to help these single parents and their children.”
Luckily, she found Thomas, where she now majors in Early Childhood Management. “I can pair business with my love of education to create my own organization and solve this problem.”
Even Sofia’s efforts outside the classroom point her in that direction; she is gaining experience in teamwork and leadership as an executive council member for the Jobs for Maine’s Graduates program on campus, a singer in the Music Club, the secretary of the International Club, a student ambassador, a work-study student in the Student Affairs Office, and an employee at the Dog Pound on campus.
Sofia says that her short time at Thomas has already paid off. “Being at Thomas has helped me become a leader, grow into myself, and make connections with other people.”

Johnny Swan ’17 says the Thomas College community has become his extended family. “We all look out for each other on and off campus,” he says. “Everyone from our President and professors to the Sodexo workers and custodial staff are friendly, welcoming individuals.”
A Sport Management major, Swan says he has grown a lot since first coming to Thomas. “In the classroom, I have gained so much knowledge about my field. And, with the continuous help and support of the Alumni and Career Services office, I have been able to get out and grow in professional settings through a few incredible internship experiences.”
Swan is the Vice President of the Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda Club and works as the Student Intramural Coordinator at the Alfond Athletic Center on campus.
Swan says without scholarships, he wouldn’t be as successful. “My Lunder scholarship, coupled with others that I have received during my time at Thomas, has been key to helping me attend Thomas.”

Boyce says her time at Thomas helped her to become a more well-rounded person. “I gained insight on the content of both of my majors, plus so much more within the various electives that were offered and the great professors and fellow students I worked with.

Thomas College is excited to announce the hiring of Ted Prawat, Assistant Professor, as a valued member of the Center for Innovation in Education.
“It’s rewarding to get big ideas about the world out in front of students and let them take them for a ride. The goal in this model is to put students in the driver seat to find the most eye-opening ideas about a subject and write, perform, or create a work for their class that evidences imagination and innovation. Essentially, you can set up an idea imagination studio where students can work these ideas out for class in a live creative format. I have seen professors at Thomas College who participated in this year’s Thomas Cup already experimenting with this kind of curricular approach,” says Ted about his position at Thomas.

The first image with the banner was taken in front of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Madonna of the Rocks” a work we covered this past semester in The Creative Mind Course I taught.

36 | FALL 2016 ANNUAL REPORT & MAGAZINE| thomas.edu THANK YOU!
Because of our fantastic sponsors and individual players who participated, we set a new fundraising record once again, generating net proceeds of $61,741 – an increase of 32% over 2015 and an increase of 460% over the 2011 event, just five years ago. For the thirteenth consecutive year, the Lunder Foundation doubled the tournament proceeds, and a total of $123,482 was added to the Lunder Scholars Endowment Fund at Thomas. Because of your help, a Thomas education is BELGRADE LAKES SPONSOR becoming more affordable – and thus, possible – for Maine students. Please save the date for next year’s event: Friday, September 15, 2017. We will, of course, be back at Belgrade Lakes and hope to see you there. And, we’re very optimistic that the weather will once again be spectacular!
