THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND GREAT A message from Bates Technical College President Dr. Lin Zhou Bates Technical College has come a long way since it first opened its doors to students in 1940. The Tacoma Vocational School, as it was called then, was established through an innovative partnership between labor, industry and local government leaders to increase the number of skilled workers for jobs in the greater Tacoma community. While the programs at Bates have evolved over the years to reflect the changing economy, our commitment to providing high quality, hands-on education for highdemand careers, has not. It’s an exciting time to be a part of Bates, as we look forward to infrastructure investments at the downtown campus and the development of new programs in areas such as health care and allied health technology in the near future. This year, the Bates Foundation launched its “Heart of Bates” campaign as a celebration of our community partners, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. This celebration is fitting, because after serving the community for nearly 80 years, we know what makes the difference between a good college and a great college, and that is you.
YOU ARE THE HEART OF BATES A message from Foundation Board Chair Linda Jadwin Did you know that Bates Technical College has been serving the greater Tacoma community for nearly 80 years through programs that educate students for great careers? Did you know that many of the programs at Bates are open to the public and serve the community directly? It’s true! Many of our students provide a valuable service to the community while learning on-thejob training. Bates’ students can cut your hair, clean your teeth, feed you delicious food, fix your car, service your hearing aids, make dentures, build cabinets and houses, and so much more! The relationship between our students, faculty and staff, and the community (you!) truly represents the “Heart of Bates.” We need each of these pieces working together to ensure our community is vibrant and growing; our employers have skilled people to hire; and future generations of students have the opportunity for a bright future, right here. The Bates Technical College Foundation plays an important role in connecting the college to the community. We celebrate the individuals, business partners and friends who support both student and program success at Bates, and invite you to come and experience all that Bates has to offer.

INVESTING IN SMART JOBS! In 2008, local philanthropist Henry T. Schatz established an endowed scholarship through the Bates Foundation, which has generously supported nearly 200 students in some of the college’s highest-demand manufacturing technologies programs. His gift also came with a promise to provide a 50 percent match of any donations made to support the scholarship up to $500,000. In December, the Bates Foundation was the recipient of a $10,000 grant from the Murray Family Foundation in support of the Henry T. Schatz Endowed Scholarship, which was matched by an additional $5,000 gift from Mr. Schatz. “Our community needs well-trained, skilled manufacturing technology workers in order to attract new businesses and keep our existing local industries competitive,” said Schatz. “This scholarship allows aspiring, capable and financially needy students to concentrate more of their time on the training they need to be successful.” On the 10th anniversary of the Henry T. Schatz Endowed Scholarship, the Foundation would like to thank the individuals and businesses who have generously contributed matching funds. With only $500,000 left to raise in matching funds, the Foundation is nearly halfway to reaching its goal of $1.5 million. For more information on how to contribute to the scholarship, please contact the Bates Foundation Office at 253.680.7160.
Programs supported by Henry T. Schatz Endowed Scholarship include: • • • •
CNC Machinist Electrical Engineering Technician Facilities Maintenance Engineer Industrial Electronics and Robotics Technician
• • • •

“The students that come through this program are top notch and help us produce one of the cleanest and most technically sound broadcasts in Minor League Baseball.�
TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME! In 2009, the Tacoma Rainiers and Bates Technical College teamed up to implement a unique internship within the Rainiers control room. Each season, you will find Bates Broadcasting and Video Production students running all the positions in the control room under the guidance of Rainiers Technical Coordinator and Bates alumni, Anthony Phinney. “The Rainiers relationship with Bates provides an excellent opportunity to partner with a valuable community asset and train our future professionals,” said Phinney. “The students that come through this program are top notch and help us produce one of the cleanest and most technically sound broadcasts in Minor League Baseball. They are learning everything about live sports productions, from operating cameras to directing. For a lot of students, this is their first job, paving the way for a great career.”
“While film and video production workflows and needs change over time, live sporting events still need live technicians to perform the tasks,” said Bates Broadcasting and Video Production program faculty Ken Witkoe. “It’s not just about the application of producing a video, but the entire ‘live’ feel of being in a stadium full of people, the atmosphere, the unpredictable nature of live sports that is energizing to the students,” he added. Former Bates students have used their experience with the Tacoma Rainiers and moved on to other jobs in the sports industry, including working for Root Sports and the Seattle Mariners. The Rainiers partnership has opened up additional internship opportunities for live-sports production for Bates students, as the farm club for the Seattle Sounders is planning on shooting matches at Cheney stadium this spring.

PUBLIC SERVANTS CREATE A LEGACY OF CONTINUED GIVING TO OTHERS The McMasters have spent most of their lives in the service of others. Diana McMaster (nee Anaya) grew up in central Texas as the granddaughter of Mexican American sharecroppers. She became a nurse, was a health care advocate for migrant workers, and served as an Army Reservist. Roger McMaster was an Eagle Scout from American Falls, Idaho, who graduated from West Point, became an Airborne Ranger, a Senior United Nations Military Observer, and later served as Fire Commissioner for Bald Hills Fire District 17. Together, the couple has provided training and mentoring to volunteer firefighters in Southeast Thurston County for over 20 years. Their commitment to education and technical training is what led them to the Bates Technical College Foundation. In May 2017, the McMasters established the Roger and Diana McMaster Endowed Scholarship to support future first responders and health care providers from their local community in Yelm and Rainier. While local students pursuing these fields are first priority to receive their scholarship, it is open to anyone who sees college education as a means to a better life. Sadly, after a year-long battle with cancer, Roger passed away Christmas Day 2017. The McMasters scholarship is a lasting legacy to their commitment to serving others. The first scholarship will be awarded Spring 2018. For more information about establishing a scholarship, call 253.680.7160.

TAINA PADILLA ANDERSON, SPOTLIGHT ON STAFF CIVIL ENGINEERING PROGRAM Taina Padilla Anderson has been teaching students in the Civil Engineering program since January 2017. She holds a Master’s Degree from University of Washington Tacoma in geospatial technologies, and a Bachelor’s Degree from University of Texas El Paso in civil engineering. Anderson, who is bilingual and multiracial, has performed data analysis for several public and community organizations, worked for a wastewater engineering firm and a land development firm. Located in the Advanced Technology Building at Central/Mohler Campus, the Civil Engineering program prepares students for careers as engineering technicians. “From the age of five or six, I assisted my grandfather with the repair and maintenance of cars and buildings,” Anderson explained when asked why she chose the civil engineering field. “I have always had strong math abilities and an interest in urban design, so I decided to study civil engineering to get the best of both worlds.” Anderson strives to make every lesson a hands-on, student-centered experience, and act mostly as a facilitator leading students to resources to find solutions. “It is of utmost importance the students leave school with significant experience in being resourceful and self-sufficient,” she said. To learn more about the Civil Engineering program, call 253.680.7000.

“Malayna never forgot the help she received to achieve her dreams.”
Diesel & Heavy Equipment Technology Student
Establish a scholarship
A FATHER’S TRIBUTE – GO FOR IT! Always a hard worker, Malayna Gale Burns enrolled in classes at Bates Vocational School (now Bates Technical College) while still in high school to prepare for a future career in truck driving. While attending Bates, Malayna was the first female to receive scholarships from various unions and clubs for the automotive, welding and diesel mechanic programs at Bates, where she excelled. When the contractor for the Hood Canal Bridge rebuild project needed a female diesel mechanic, Malayna’s instructors gave her a strong recommendation. She got the job and became the first female diesel mechanic in the Tacoma branch of the International Union of Operating Engineers. From there, her career progressed steadily. In 1987, she was recruited by Guy F. Atkinson Construction to work on the I-90 Mercer Island Bridge project. Tragically, on the day she was to begin her new job, she lost her life in a vehicular accident. In May 2017, her father Russell Burns established the Malayna Gale Burns Endowed Scholarship in her memory for students enrolled in the Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technology program. “Malayna never forgot the help she received to achieve her dreams,” Mr. Burns said. “She always felt the best way to repay those who helped her was to help others. This scholarship is to honor her memory and celebrate her legacy of ‘being all you can be’ and giving each day her best effort.” In honor of Malayna’s legacy, the Operating Engineers Local 612 also donated $500 in support of the endowed scholarship and in support of future diesel mechanics from Bates.

“The facility will be designed to create a dynamic, interactive learning environment that promotes critical thinking, decision-making, communication and teamwork.�
TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE THE MEDICAL MILE SCIENCE CENTER Bates Technical College received state funding to design a new health science and simulation facility situated within 1,000 yards of four acute care hospitals at its Downtown Campus. The new facility will advance the use of simulation technology to enhance learning, provide a safe and effective way to train students and employees in the field, and develop a more qualified workforce in a number of health care-related fields. Health care education is in high demand. Annually, the Bates Practical Nurse program admits 130 students, 65 students twice a year, with the number of students taking required course work increasing every quarter. The college receives approximately 400 applications for each entry quarter, creating a strain on capacity and demand for an expansion of all the colleges’ health care-related programs. New state-of-the-art simulation technology will provide rich, simulated clinical experiences for students, such as supervised crisis management experience for life-threatening situations that occur in acute and long-term care facilities. This resource will also be available to health care partners in the Tacoma area for continuing education opportunities. The college will begin the design process for the new facility, with input from local health care partners, in 2018. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2021.

TINY HOUSES – BIG IMPACT Bates Technical College’s Carpentry program was one of 25 teams from high schools and colleges who built a portable, energy efficient house for a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Showcase of Skills Homeless Shelter Project competition, which was held last March in Olympia at the Capitol Campus. “Students spent eight weeks building our tiny home, which featured four beds for a family or a single parent with children looking for work,” said Dan Smith, Carpentry program instructor. “Our Electrical Construction program installed wiring for a light and two outlets in case the occupants need to charge their phone or laptop, which would be useful for someone needing to type up a resume,” he said. The project was truly a group effort. “The students enrolled in the Architectural Woodworking and Cabinetmaking program hand-crafted a folding desk and a dresser so the house could have storage space for clothes and a nice place for kids to do homework, if needed,” he said. In addition to solar panels, the house featured a three-foot-wide deck with a railing, a flower box, and a mailbox. Funding for the house came from the CTE event coordinators and the Bates Foundation. The tiny home was transported to Seattle’s North 88th Street Tiny House Village for use as a transitional house for homeless people. To learn more about the Carpentry program, call 253.680.7000.

YOUR GIFT CAN CHANGE A LIFE THE BATES PLAYGROUND PROJECT The Bates Foundation is currently seeking donations to make playground improvements for the Early Learning Center at the Downtown Campus of Bates Technical College. The project will cost approximately $150,000. The center serves over 100 students each quarter by offering affordable, quality child care for student parents, and serves as a learning laboratory for various degree programs on campus. The center is one of the largest programs at Bates, and is one of the few options available for homeless or special needs families. Why does child care at Bates matter? Quality child care plays an important role in student recruitment and retention at Bates. Access to quality, affordable child care is one of the primary reasons many students choose Bates Technical College.
The funds will provide much-needed updates and design of a new outdoor space that infants and toddlers can use safely and preschool children can enjoy regardless of the weather.
Learning laboratory for students In addition to providing quality child care, the center serves as a “learning laboratory” for up to 50 students each quarter in various programs at Bates, including: • Early Childhood Education • Occupational Therapy Assistant • Practical Nurse To donate or to learn more, please contact the Bates Foundation at foundation@bates.ctc.edu or 253.680.7160 or visit us at: www.bates.ctc.edu/Foundation
