2018-2019 LEADERSHIP LETTERS

GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING!

“IF WE WANT TO HAVE A GOOD SOCIETY, WE MUST CONCENTRATE ALL OUR – ST. JOHN BOSCO FORCES ON THE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION OF THE YOUNG.”

This past year has been extremely rewarding. Seeing inspired Tech students reach for and obtain goals, through hard work and persistence, makes it worth all the effort and long hours that our dedicated faculty and staff put in.

WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THE COMMITMENT OF MANY GENEROUS DONORS AND SUPPORTERS.

In the coming months, we have several key goals that we will focus on in our work to continue offering the premiere program of its kind in California: • We will continue to build and strengthen our Annual Fund, which seeks resources for tuition assistance and school programs, following St. John Bosco in his original vocation to educate the whole person regardless of ability to pay. We are mindful of the great need that many of our families are experiencing and the tremendous financial sacrifice they are making to send their sons to the Tech. • We are prioritizing a roster of campus revitalization projects that will enhance teaching methodology and maintain our nurturing learning environment. Updating buildings from the 1950s, although well maintained, is a necessary and important inevitability for a vital campus atmosphere that best suits the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s learners. • We plan to establish an instructor endowment to ensure that our faculty receive competitive salaries, fortifying the continuance of quality instruction for students. These and other important projects are primary in our work to educate the young men entrusted to our care. I encourage you to stay involved and walk with us through these long-term goals. We are excited about the good things happening and the positive plans that are carefully unfolding, and we want you to be a part of it all! We are truly grateful for the commitment of many generous and forward-thinking donors and supporters who see the difference a Tech education makes! St. John Bosco, pray for us, Memo Gutierrez (AU ’83), President

As always, the Board of Trustees, faculty and staff, volunteers, and donors are committed to the success of the Tech and its time-proven program. Most importantly, our promise to our students and their families remains providing the best education possible to each young person entrusted to our care.

WE ARE A FAITH COMMUNITY ADHERING TO PROVEN EDUCATIONAL PRECEPTS.

As the new Chairman, it is my goal to build upon the positive momentum that the Board has achieved under past President William Marticorena’s (ME ‘70) respected leadership. And it’s my priority to support the success of the Tech’s president, principal, and hard-working staff while continuing to develop a vital board of trustees. It is a forward-thinking board that directs its efforts to driving the school’s mission and effectively fulfilling the roles of patrons, guardians, and advocates of Don Bosco Technical Institute. As you read more about just who we are, you will see that 20182019 was a year well spent. We are many things to many people, but invariably We Are Bosco Tech, with its long tradition of educating the mind, nourishing the soul, and developing the talents and gifts of each. In the spirit of St. John Bosco, Martin Hairston (ME ’86), Chairman, Board of Trustees

BOSCO TECH 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

We are known as many things to many people, but the underlying constant is that, unchangingly, we are a faith community adhering to proven educational precepts established long before the demands of our current technology-driven society. Behind the engineering lessons and the research projects, the band and sports practices, and the final exams, is the same commitment St. John Bosco made to the first students enrolled in his oratory. His goal was to form spiritually solid, outward-thinking young people who will lead and serve society in the future.

I know that I speak for them when I assure our families of the continuance of that commitment to offer the best educational experience possible, while maintaining the noted Salesian spirit so strongly infused in our school community.

WE ARE… ENTHUSIASTIC LEARNERS.

CAMPUS

“I like the old adage about not putting off to tomorrow what you can do today,” said Tech senior George Flores (CSEE). “That’s what I’d tell younger students. Bosco Tech provides so many opportunities, but it is up to us to go after them. The Bosco Tech experience, and how much you get out of it, is truly up to the student.”

“Aside from being an amazing school, the technologies are truly what made Bosco stand out to me,” he said. “I always knew that I wanted to go into the technology field and, seeing how the school could guide me toward my dreams, I was instantly sold.”

“I THINK THE BIGGEST LESSON THAT I HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF BOSCO TECH IS PROACTIVENESS.” – GEORGE FLORES

BOSCO TECH 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

George knows firsthand about making the most of today’s opportunities. Freshly returned to campus from a summer internship at The Boeing Company, he has taken a giant step toward his dream of becoming a mechanical engineer. At Boeing, he developed a Windows installer that will help set up the company’s mission control computers, using knowledge he gained in his CSEE classes.

“Through the school, I am always being motivated to start new programs and run for different club offices; faculty members are available to the students to assist in their plans.”

“Above all else, what I love most about Bosco is the students,” he said. “I’ve been able to meet people here who share common interests and who are extremely passionate about education. Being in this environment has provided me with the encouragement to do my best. My biggest goal is to one day win the Nobel Prize for a scientific contribution I would have made.” And when he wins that prize, the biggest cheers will come from George’s Tech family!

Bosco Tech students like George utilize the campus’ extensive collection of rapid prototype 3D printing equipment to give life to their design projects.

65 YEARS OF SALESIAN STEM EDUCATION

IAN MCCONNELL (ACE ’19)

WE ARE… POISED FOR SUCCESS. “The community was the best part of Bosco for me, especially the way the teachers and students interacted with one another,” said new graduate Ian McConnell (ACE ’19). “I first chose the Tech for the technical programs it offered students and the community I experienced during my initial ‘shadow visit.’”

“IAN IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF WELL-ROUNDED, CONFIDENT STUDENT THAT THE TECH HELPS DEVELOP.” – PRINCIPAL JEFF KRYNEN “He made the most of his time on campus; academically, in his technology and extracurricular involvement, and through his professional internship. We’re confident in his future success, based on what he has accomplished in the past four years.” Attending the Tech was not a commitment Ian made alone; his family has provided support through each step. Mom Shannon, Education & Public Engagement Lead for NASA’s Deep Space Network, was the first parent representative on the school’s Board of Trustees. Now, as the mom of a graduate, she has been elected a regular board member because of her exemplary contributions. “As in all schools, parents play a critical role in school policy and the school environment,” she said. “However, in the day-to-day operation of any school, parents are often the silent customer because they aren’t on campus all the time. It has been my desire to serve as a voice for other parents at the school in a capacity that helps shape the long-term strategy and vision for Bosco Tech even after all our boys have graduated.” Asked what advice Ian would give younger Tech students, he said, “Try whatever you want. If you want to make a musical at Bosco, just try. You should remember that other people will not remember any embarrassment you may feel and you will have learned so much from the experience.”

Ian will take that strong support with him as he begins his architectural engineering studies at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo this fall. His spot at the university was secured not only because of his excellent grades, but through his long list of accomplishments, especially his summer engineering internship at JMDiaz, Inc., and his participation in the school’s jazz, symphonic and marching bands. Additionally, the National Honor Society member served as a campus retreat leader, and as a teacher’s assistant and basketball coach in the local community.

Bosco Tech Internships Bosco Tech students completed exciting summer internships with noted area organizations that had them working under the direction of engineers, scientists and doctors in a variety of high tech fields.

WE ARE… CHANGE MAKERS. When fifth-year Tech college student Roger Gibbs (EL ’74) was assigned to work at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) through the school’s then-cooperative education program, Fr. Paul Caporali, SDB, warned the fun-loving young man to be on his best behavior. Mr. Gibb’s diligence and maturity handsomely paid off because today he is the Deputy Director for Mars Exploration at JPL. He oversees the operations of several orbiter and rover missions and the development of the next Mars Rover scheduled for launch in 2020. “My Bosco Tech experience and education helped me tremendously,” said the Altadena resident. “I recall being a young technician right out of Bosco, watching a new college grad struggling to set up an oscilloscope. With a few turns of knobs, I locked up the signal on the scope for him. And it struck me that a college grad didn’t know what was second nature for us at Bosco, with all our hands-on test equipment and lab experience.” After earning his AS degree from Bosco Tech, Mr. Gibbs graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from USC. While enrolled in an advanced management program for a large utility company, he realized he wanted to work in an area that was more technically challenging and returned to JPL, working on the lab’s Galileo mission to Jupiter. “JPL is really a very rewarding place to work. It’s a team environment, where people are achieving the same goals, and the goals are noble and inspirational,” he explained. “In a sense, we extend people’s senses, their eyes and ears to other worlds, such as the surface of Mars, or flying through the rings of Saturn. In a way, we allow people to be virtually on the surface of Mars, or fly into an asteroid. Many of us here at JPL are thrilled that so much of the public are excited for us. They want to be a part of the journey and of the drama and excitement.” In the course of his career at JPL, the married father and grandfather has had the rewarding opportunity to work in engineering and management positions on missions to Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. “A couple of years ago, I realized that there were many Bosco Tech graduates at JPL, making a significant impact,” Roger noted. “These alumni have contributed in the areas of spacecraft system engineering, complex financial analysis of large projects, electrical interface engineering, spacecraft telecommunications, propulsion systems, avionics systems, and advanced electronic packaging designs for missions that have flown to Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn; as well as concepts for a possible mission to land on Europa, a moon of Jupiter.” And his advice for today’s graduates? “Do the best you can. God gives us all a unique set of skills, talents and opportunities. Do the best with what you’ve got. Live an ethical life that you can look back on without regrets...and enjoy the journey!”

Extremely Grateful

01. KARL LOPKER (EL ‘69) (12/19/51-8/25/18)

The Karl Lopker Endowed Merit Scholarship Fund recognizes and supports the best and brightest Bosco Tech students, based upon academic excellence and citizenship. During his years at the Tech, late alumnus Karl Lopker (EL ’69), was an involved student, and a member of both the Letterman Society and the National Honor Society. He served on Student Council, was active in the Pep Club, and played basketball and soccer for the school. After matriculating to the University of California, Santa Barbara, Karl supported himself through his studies by selling hand-crafted leather purses and sandals.

ENDOWMENTS

THE LASTING IMPACT OF ENDOWMENTS

The success of the international businesses earned the couple the joint title of UCSB Alumni Association’s “Distinguished Alumni Award” in 1998. The Lopkers, well known for their philanthropic work, established the first endowed chair in computer science at UCSB’s College of Engineering. A genuinely well-respected fixture in his Santa Barbara community and the business world, Karl was described by Anton Chilton, QAD’s Chief of Global Field Operations, as “one of the most principled people I have ever worked with. He worked hard to ensure emotion rarely clouded his judgment, but stayed true to his core values of fairness, honesty, and openness.” Karl’s greatest hope was for the couple’s two children, Karl Bo and Juliana Lynn, to live, happy, healthy and productive lives. We are very grateful for that mindset and for the Lopker family’s generosity to the students of Bosco Tech!

02. TOM ARMES (3/8/43-5/26/94)

When the family of the late Bosco Tech Construction Department Chair Tom Armes established an endowment in his name, they continued a legacy of caring that Mr. Armes himself firmly built during his years of teaching. Known for his genuine concern for students and his unique approach to teaching, he was a favorite on campus in the late 1980s and early 1990s. When he passed away during the ‘93-‘94 school year, the outpouring of grief on campus was palpable. Students created an impromptu memorial spot outside Construction Technology (now ACE) where they gathered to console one another, and a packed service was held in the school’s gym. Following the funeral, Mr. Armes’ widow, Suzanne, was approached by several young men who pressed cash into her hand, wishing to pay back money Mr. Armes had loaned them when they were running short. To this day, Suzanne treasures a plethora of letters and notes from former students with heartfelt appreciation of what Mr. Armes did for them. The Thomas Eugene Armes Endowed Scholarship Fund will continue that generosity of heart, helping future students under financial strain to continue their Tech education. The endowment will provide tuition assistance to deserving students based on financial need, personal motivation, academic achievement and citizenship—the very qualities he inspired in his students each day. “I’m so grateful that he experienced so much joy from working during those last several years of his life,” said Tom’s daughter, Mary Armes Patrick, also a teacher. “That work fulfilled him in a way no job ever had before. One of his finest traits was his ability and willingness to love so openly and generously. That’s a gift I carry with me every day, and I have no doubt that the men he taught and loved as boys at Bosco Tech still feel his love too.” Mr. Armes was especially moved to help at-risk students—and young people in general--with whom he could especially relate. “I’m not exaggerating when I tell you, Tom saved the lives of students during the years he was with us,” said friend and colleague Mr. Rudy Herrera (AU ’80), Bosco Tech’s Campus Ministry Director. “Imagine how many futures he saved! I know that today’s students would have loved him.”

BOSCO TECH 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

Through industry acumen and hard work, and the partnership of his wife, Pam, he grew the creative business, ultimately becoming Chief Executive Officer of QAD Inc. and co-founder of Deckers Outdoor Corporation, both publicly traded. QAD provides manufacturing software, and Deckers designs and distributes footwear under such well-known names as UGG and Teva. The operations have expanded to offices in 18 countries, sales in more than 80 countries, and thousands of employees.

An endowment is a lasting and impactful donation that continues to give through the years. This past year, two families in our community established named endowments to honor the memory of their loved ones in perpetuity while helping students. Bosco Tech is extremely grateful for their generosity and foresight.

“My father always told me it was Bosco that helped shape him into the man he is,” said Adam, who began his pre-med studies this fall. “He’s very thankful for Bosco and, in many ways, attributes his success to the school. It was a natural gravitation that I sought to attend.” Grandfather Daniel, one of five brothers to graduate in the 1970s, also firmly believes in the school’s mission. He enrolled his son Alexander, Adam’s uncle, too. “Bosco Tech gave me a technical background and education in the printing industry that has allowed me to not only grow in it, but also to help support my family,” said Daniel, owner of Titan Graphix & Promotions, Inc. “Having my grandson, Adam, experience this wonderful opportunity is a godsend. The future is bright for him to be exposed to new technical opportunities in an industry he enjoys.”

Alfredo and Maria Burrola, the patriarch and matriarch of the family and Adam’s great grandparents, were the first family members to see the Tech’s advantages. “Both my compadres’ sons went to Bosco and they said how great the school was so I told my friend who was a realtor to find us a house near the school,” Alfredo remembered. “Nana and I had to be close so they all could walk there. The boys all played different sports at the school and got involved in their own way. Nana and I are thankful and proud, to have been able to give them this experience. We’re truly grateful.”

Bosco Tech is grateful for the opportunity to educate generations of young men. In some cases, those generations include legacy families, passing down Salesian traditions and shared experiences. In one family, the roots run especially deep. When Adam Gomez (CSEE ’19) graduated, he was the twelfth family member and the third generation to attend the Tech. Adam’s father, Henry Gomez (EL ’94) and his grandfather, Daniel Burrola (PH ’76) are Tech alumni; his mom, Danielle Gomez, was a drill team member in the Royal Techmen marching band. Family members have graduated from every technology program the school has offered through the years.

GENEROSITY

WE ARE… A FAITH COMMUNITY At the very heart of all we do—before the achievements and successes--lies our common faith that guides and directs us. While welcoming all into our midst regardless of religion, nationality or ethnicity, our Catholic foundation rests upon the Good News of Christ’s infinite love for each individual and the indescribable value of each person. It is our unchanging directive to share the great hope that brings.

“WITHOUT CONFIDENCE AND LOVE, THERE CAN BE NO TRUE EDUCATION.” – ST. JOHN BOSCO

– MEMO GUTIERREZ (AU ’83) PRESIDENT

Ways to Give As a valued part of the Tech community, we ask you to consider paying it forward to ensure current students and future generations enjoy an affordable education with all of the benefits of a first-rate faculty, new technology, and modern classroom amenities. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GIVE TO BOSCO TECH:

• Charitable Remainder Trusts: a charitable remainder trust can benefit you now by providing a lifetime income that is tax advantaged, save you income taxes now, reduce your estate tax later and benefit Bosco Tech. • Contingent Beneficiaries: Naming Bosco Tech as a contingent beneficiary can benefit the Tech when the unexpected happens, but without loss if the normal course of events takes place. Contingent beneficiaries can be used in wills, life insurance and annuity contracts, pension accounts, IRAs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s . • Stock, Mutual Fund, ETF Gifts: If you give an asset with a longterm capital gain, you never have to pay the capital gains taxes, but get the same amount of tax deduction as if you gave a cash donation. This can be a huge tax savings for you, and still provide the Tech with all the intended benefit. Please note that the asset must qualify for long-term capital gains treatment and have a ‘gain’ to benefit. • Gift Matching Programs: A long-time strategy for helping the Tech is to use an employer matching gift plan for your donation. In these plans, your employer will make a donation alongside yours to the Tech, which can double your gift. Furthermore, yours spouse may be eligible for a matching plan on the same gift, turning it into a triple benefit. • Life Insurance: Some people use life insurance as a way of multiplying their gift. For a small amount (the insurance premium), they can leave a large amount (the death benefit) to the Tech. If you don’t have dependents, don’t forget the insurance provided by your employer. Consider naming Bosco Tech as your beneficiary. • Pensions, IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s and annuities: When paid out at death, these accounts may be taxed in excess of 75%, after you add up federal and state income taxes, state death taxes and federal estate taxes. If you name the Tech as your beneficiary, you sidestep all these taxes. If you’re married, you probably want to name your spouse as the primary beneficiary, but consider naming Bosco Tech as your contingent beneficiary. • Stock Options: If exercised after your death, stock options will generate income taxes and may generate state taxes. However, if you name the Tech as beneficiary of your employer-provided stock options, both taxes will be eliminated.

Each day, in the classroom, across the campus, or on the playing field, Bosco Tech faculty, staff and coaches seek to convey the wisdom of our Heavenly Father as they educate the whole person in the same pedagogical style as St. John Bosco. We believe that each student is bestowed with unique gifts that must be shared. It is our hope that as our graduates enter the world, they are equipped and well on their way to becoming life-long learners who are dedicated men of faith and integrity, committed to leading successful lives of distinguished service and social justice.

STUDENT EVENTS

Our campus comes together to celebrate school spirit, faith and camaraderie, vital components of a thriving student body making a difference in its community.

SALESIAN SPIRIT GAMES. A long-standing Tech tradition, the Salesian Spirit Games had students competing for their technology in sports activities simultaneously across the campus in the Fall and Spring. The semi-annual games are an opportunity for the school to express the four cornerstones of the Salesian education model—school, church, playground and home—all in one day.

ROBOTICS. Bosco Tech’s two robotics teams are making us proud! The FRC Robotics Team competed in the OC Regional Competition in early March, placing 8th out of 49 teams, including a team from the Netherlands, and qualifying for the quarter finals while outranking some very competitive schools. The hard-working FTC robotics team, the Gearheads, have ranked in the top 3% overall and top 1% in software for autonomous operation in national rankings!

MODEL UN. In the Spring, two Bosco Tech international students, Haonan (Henry) He and Shengbo (Christiano) Jin, participated in a Model United Nations conference at USC. The juniors, along with dozens of other students from schools all over southern California, discussed, debated and attempted to resolve serious and pressing issues affecting the international community. FATHER-SON BREAKFAST & MASS. A longstanding tradition, the Father-Son Breakfast & Mass celebrated the bond between our students and the special father-figures in their lives.

Beginning with Advanced Placement Biology, BMET students will explore several areas including genetic and pharmaceutical advancements, environmental awareness, agricultural developments, biomedical informatics, biomanufacturing, health care improvements, and social responsibility.

BOSCO TECH 2018-2019 ANNUAL REPORT

As a life science program, Bosco Tech’s new Biological, Medical & Environmental Technology (BMET), is both a response to professional demand and a natural complement to the school’s traditional physical science-based technological majors.

“BMET IS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF OUR ESTABLISHED STEM PROGRAM.” – PRINCIPAL JEFF KRYNEN “The program nicely compliments our other pre-engineering majors while introducing a hands-on integration of science and technology. And because Bosco Tech is located in the Los Angeles area, the second largest bioscience industry cluster in the U.S., in one of the fastest growing jobs sectors, it positions our students nicely for future demand.” “Our BMET program will prepare students for advanced post-secondary studies in health care, environmental engineering and biomedical research,” he continued. “This new program will further the Tech’s long-standing reputation as the premier Catholic STEM-focused school in the state.”
