Students with the highest growth potential benefit most from scholarships. Without scholarships and grants, many could not afford to pay for school. As the College expands, a new building will prepare Allied Health program students for health care careers in the 21st century. This new building will replace the overcrowded classrooms the Allied Health programscurrently uses, and will make room current tools and equipment. In-kind donations of equipment, materials, and tools keep our students current withchanging technology and prepared for the job market. DATC will continue to transform students’ lives and to help the economy thrive. Please get involved by funding scholarships and programs, contributing to the Allied Health Building, donating equipment, or sponsoring the AnnualGolf Tournament. We hope you will join with us at the DATC Foundation as wehelp students reach their highest potential.

Changing Lives
MARCIE VALDEZ

|
| Foundation Director
Foundation Director Marcie Valdez didn’t start her career in fundraising (she graduated from Weber State University in sociology), but after several years with the American Red Cross and Catholic Community Services (CCS) of Northern Utah, she found her calling. “I’ve always loved working with people and doing customer service,” she says, “and fundraising is just finding the right opportunities to be involved.”
While Marcie loved her work at CCS, she’s excited for a new opportunity working a little closer to home. “I was born and raised and currently live in Woods Cross, so I really am a Davis County girl.” She believes that Davis County has great growth potential, especially since there are so many local partners and industries that can help turn lower-income students into productive employees.
That’s what Marcie thrives on—creating change in people’s lives. “It’s really difficult to end poverty or end hunger within the charity system, but a great way to conquer those issues is through education.” With her experience in creating community connections and building cooperative relationships, Marcie is up for the challenge of helping DATC’s Foundation to fulfill its mission. “It is a big job to do, and I think I come with a lot of great connections in the community, and a background in fundraising that will help us to meet those goals. “ She’s only been at the DATC a short time, but Marcie already has her goals laid out. She hopes to build partner relationships, find new partnership and grant opportunities, and to focus her efforts on raising funds for the new Allied Health Building. “I want to be a great member of this team and work together with the community and the College to accomplish some great things,” Marcie says. If her track record is any indication, Marcie will be highly successful.

SCHOLARSHIP LUNCHEON 2015
more photos
The second Annual DATC Foundation Scholarship Luncheon was held on May 12, 2015, providing an opportunity for scholarship recipients to meet donors. Students expressed the theme, “You’re an Essential Piece,” to their benefactors as they shared challenges and triumphs over a meal prepared by DATC Culinary Arts students. President Michael Bouwhuis welcomed guests and Foundation Chair Lloyd Carr, from Carr Printing, introduced three accomplished student speakers including Skills USA silver medalist Megan Adams, DATC Ambassador Daniel Yardley, and National Technical Honor Society representative Emily Johnson. The luncheon has become a favorite event for both contributors and students. Both enjoy the opportunity to learn more about each other including why donors give and the difference scholarships make in the lives of students. In 2014, 261 scholarships were awarded through the DATC Foundation to adult students and 42 were presented to high school students. As a parting gift, donors received a key ring with a puzzle piece shaped fob to remind them how important they are in the lives of DATC students

“You have nothing to lose, only knowledge and opportunities to gain.”
Machinist
ALANNA WILSON – CNC MACHINING
When Alanna Wilson became a single mother, sold her house, had major surgery, and lost her job, things looked bleak. But Alanna took advantage of new opportunities. She used her unemployment benefits to return to school. As an Architectural and Engineering Design student at DATC, she was hired as a teaching assistant, which increased her confidence and helped her pay for school. She also received a scholarship from NASA, an honor given to very few students. She graduated in May 2015 and began a CNC Machining program shortly afterward.
“Having the certificates makes such a difference,” she says. “I have a much higher level of confidence now and I look at new experiences as blessings. I know that when I put my mind to something I can do it.”
Today, she’s working as an Adjunct Instructor in the DATC Composite Materials Technology program. Her future plans include entering the Skills USA competition and finding a position where she can design and create projects from the ground up. Alanna also wants to give other people in her situation the same opportunities. She is working to develop a scholarship and resources or single parents.

Legacy
DAVID E. SIMMONS
| A Family Legacy
David Simmons, CEO of Simmons Media, is the sixth child of Roy and Elizabeth Simmons and is proud of his pioneer heritage. He learned about entrepreneurship and business leadership from his father, Roy W. Simmons, who founded Zions Bancorporation. “I want to be remembered for adding to the entrepreneurial legacy left by my ancestors,” David says.
David majored in economics and political science at the University of Utah. He attended Oxford University and later Harvard, graduating with an MBA. David returned to Utah to head up the family investment company. The previous acquisition of FM 100.3 from Bonneville International led to additional investments in radio, broadcast services, and outdoor advertising. Both David and his father served as Foundation Board Members and financially supported the missions of the College and Foundation. In 2006, with a significant lead gift from the Roy and Elizabeth Simmons Family Foundation, $2.2 million was raised to build the Roy W. and Elizabeth E. Simmons Entrepreneurship Center.
“Technical training provides competency-based education which helps students focus their abilities, discover their potential and provides technical certifications leading to careers and encouragement to achieve degrees at universities,” he says. David served on the DATC Foundation Board from 2006 to 2015. He also serves on the boards for Westminster College and Western Governor’s University. David and his wife, Melinda, enjoy spending time with their four daughters, Amanda, Samantha, Lauren, and Hallie. 14

“I’ll keep looking for other routes in order to become better than what I am right now. Always.”
Culinary
ROSALIE DUNASKI – CULINARY ARTS
Rosalie Dunaski will never stop learning. As a junior attending Viewmont High School, she’d nearly finished when a counselor, knowing Rosalie’s interest in baking and cooking (she’d been baking pastries since the age of two), handed her a pamphlet about DATC’s Culinary Arts program. Rosalie brought the pamphlet home to her parents, who urged her to sign up immediately. “It occurred at exactly the right timeframe,” Rosalie says. Despite her years of experience in baking, there was still plenty to learn. “I wanted to go to school for something I needed more strength in,” Rosalie says, so she made sure to broaden her skills, especially in cooking and team-building. After she finished at DATC (with the help of scholarships), Rosalie attended Salt Lake Community College. SLCC gave her an opportunity to work at the Capitol, which she did for nearly three years.
These days, she works as a pastry chef at the Grand America Hotel, making wedding and specialty cakes and setting up Sunday brunches. Still, Rosalie keeps improving her craft. She recently earned her Executive Chef Pastry certification, and is planning to earn her Master Executive Chef certification next. “Except that doesn’t mean that I’ll stop,” Rosalie says. “I’llF okeep looking for other routes in 2 0 1 5 D a v i s A p p l i e d Te c h n o l o g y C o l l e g e | undation Annual Report | order to become better than what I am right now.

ALLIED HEALTH BUILDING The Health Science programs at the College are rapidly expanding. Approximately 33% of our student population is enrolled in these programs, which have expanded beyond their available space. While the state projects a 21% increase in healthcare job within the next five years and the county projects a 49% increase in population from 2000-2020, DATC’s Allied Health programs are already overcrowded. The need is great and the time is now.
Dream with us for a moment. See an 85,000 square foot building with floor-to-ceiling windows, letting in natural light. Hear the low hum of students talking and collaborating as they sit in the study areas. Feel the bitewings on your tongue while your panoramic dental X-ray is taken. Take in the smell of antiseptics used to clean surgical and dental instruments. Feel your pulse race as the Emergency Medical Technician students simulate an emergency. While a DATC education already provides excellent education and training, a new Allied Health building will allow students to collaborate, cooperate, and prepare for the future as never before. The DATC Foundation’s goal is to raise $3 million in private funds. This dream cannot become a reality without your help. Imagine DATC students in a building that’s big enough to match their dreams. Contact the Foundation Office at 801-593-2374 to join with us in making dreams come true. 18
