Harford Community College Foundation - 2021 Annual Report

2021

ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Harford Community College Foundation Friends: The past year for all of us has been unlike any other. Over the last 18 months, our community has faced health, financial, and logistical challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like other higher education institutions, our students and faculty quickly shifted to online teaching and learning—virtually overnight—all while managing health concerns, family responsibilities, loss of wages, and other financial hardships.

Despite these challenges, the Harford Community College Foundation focused on remaining a beacon of hope for our College community.

The HCC Foundation was front and center, reaching out to students in need, responding quickly with more than $28,000 in Student Emergency Assistance funds to help cover the cost of utility bills, rent, food, and more.

Throughout these pages, you will read stories from alumni, students, and donors describing the impact that the Foundation has made on their lives and the lives of our students.

Over the past year, generous contributions from our donors provided $665,000 in scholarship awards. Because of this, our students were able to realize their dreams of attending college in the pursuit of higher education, better paying jobs, and the fulfillment of their visions.

To continue this life-changing mission, we need your support. To learn more about how you may participate and make a difference, visit go.harford.edu/foundation.

Sincerely,

Theresa B. Felder, Ed.D. President

Harford Community College Foundation Board Members Executive Committee Dear Friends, As I reminisce about this past year, I think about “firsts.”

Take this publication. It’s the first time the Harford Community College (HCC) Foundation has penned its own annual report separately from the College’s.

This message to you is coming from the first Executive Director for the HCC Foundation.

Other “firsts” of note include the receipt of the first charitable remainder trust from Mr. Barclay D. Tucker II & Mrs. Betty Lou Tucker that was created 25 years ago. We welcomed first time donors who provided new scholarships for our students and a first-time grant from the Phillip E. & Carole R. Ratcliffe Foundation to establish Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation. The training center itself is the first of its kind for Harford Community College to deliver workforce training in the southern part of the county.

It’s no surprise that this year, Harford students needed the Foundation’s support more than ever. While students benefited from $665,000 of Foundation scholarship awards, they also needed food, help paying their rent, and assistance with other life needs. The Foundation’s Student Emergency Assistance Fund awarded $28,000 in one year.

The Foundation does not operate alone. If you are reading this, you are part of the community that makes all of this good work possible. It is to you that I express sincere appreciation for your support.

I ask you to think of Harford Community College and our students first as you plan how you want to contribute. Whether that is volunteering, spending time on our campus, attending an event, or making a monetary gift to the HCC Foundation, you can be the first to make a difference!

Sincerely,

Harford Community College Alumnus Establishes Freedom Scholarship Weiping Qin started the scholarship to assist student leaders and those who have served in the military.

Harford Community College alumnus Weiping Qin ‘20 knows firsthand how important a college scholarship or grant can be to a student. To show his appreciation for the financial aid he received as a student at Harford, Qin established a scholarship to support student leaders as well as students who have served in the military.

The Weiping Qin Freedom Scholarship was established to acknowledge the service and support of freedom around the world. The first scholarships, six at $250 per student, were awarded during this academic year.

“We should do something for our community when we have the ability and the opportunity,” Qin said of establishing the scholarship at Harford Community College.

“Scholarships can really help students. They can help them build confidence and a better academic future.”

To be considered for the scholarship, a student must be enrolled at Harford Community College full time and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75. Preference is given to students who display leadership qualities and who serve on the Student Government Association executive board; serve as SGA senators or as leaders of registered student organizations; or who participate in the Emerging Leaders program and/or in alternative break programs.

“

Starting a scholarship is a good way to give back to the community and to the next generation.

”

— Weiping Qin

Qin, who came to the United States from China in 2013 and settled in Bel Air in 2018, graduated from Harford Community College in 2020 with an associate degree in business and accounting. During his two years at the College, he became deeply involved in campus life. Qin was elected president of the Student Government Association in 2019, and he participated in alternative break trips to New Orleans, Rome and Key West.

He’s also the author of three books and has a YouTube channel with 49,000 subscribers.

Qin currently serves in the U.S. Navy as a Petty Officer Third Class. In December he earned the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, and he hopes to become a commissioned officer in the future.

“Being a student leader is not an easy job.

It means more responsibility and challenge if you want to make a difference,” Qin said.

1 Million Nursing Scholarships $

for

Longtime Harford Community College donors Dr. David and Alena Schwaber have endowed a $1 million scholarship for students studying nursing. It is the largest individual donation ever received by the Harford Community College Foundation.

The Schwabers began their support of nursing students at Harford Community College by establishing the Alena & David M. Schwaber Nursing Scholarship in 2005. Valued at $3,000 per student, the scholarship has been awarded to 75 students over the past 15 years.

To be eligible for the Schwaber scholarship, students must be enrolled at least half time (six credits), maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher, and be enrolled in the Harford Community College’s Nursing Associate of Science Program. The scholarship may be used toward tuition, fees, books, supplies, materials, uniforms and other related program costs.

Foundation Receives

Endowment “As recent events have made clear, frontline health care professionals are an indispensable part of our communities, keeping us healthy and safe. Our Nursing and Allied Health programs have always been a point of pride for HCC,” said Jacqueline Jackson, PhD, Vice President for Student Success. “Now, thanks to the generous endowment established by Dr. and Mrs. Schwaber—along with a recent award from the Maryland Higher Education Commission to increase the capacity of our nursing program—we can support a greater number of students and ultimately provide for the health and well-being of more people in our community.”

Harford Community College is known for its competitive and rigorous nursing program, which educates and provides a substantive healthcare workforce for the region. Given the current global health crisis, there is not only an increased need

for healthcare workers but a need for financial support for current and prospective students in the nursing program.

Providing educational funding for nursing students is rooted in the Schwabers’ p h i l o s o p hy o f g i v i n g b a c k t o t h e i r community. Dr. Schwaber has served on the Harford Community College Foundation’s Board of Directors for 13 years and knows firsthand how monetary donations can change the lives of students.

For the Schwabers, the global pandemic has highlighted the heroism of healthcare workers and solidified what they always believed to be true about investing in the nursing program: Since students have chosen to enter a selfless field that gives back to the community, they should not have to pay for their education. While they realize their scholarship won’t be able to cover the entire cost for all

nursing students, the Schwabers hope others will follow their example and establish nursing scholarships.

The Schwabers see the nursing profession as similar to those who enter the military, providing service to others. Those who enter the military don’t have to pay for basic training, and the Schwabers feel strongly that those who are studying nursing shouldn’t have to pay for their training, either, because they are providing a critical service for others.

“The Schwabers care deeply for their community and have made a significant impact on the nursing program at Harford Community College over the years,” said Laura Cianelli Preston, MS, RN, former dean, Nursing and Allied Health Professions at Harford Community College. “For example, when Darlington Hall opened, nursing students gained key skills and clinical judgment by working with an adult human simulator, which the Schwabers provided in addition to making a donation to the building fund. Thanks to their generosity then and today, the Schwabers are supporting nurses who are critically

needed in our community. I am grateful to David and Alena for their generous gift of nursing student scholarships.”

Harford Community College’s partnership with Towson University has streamlined the process for students to graduate with a four-year nursing degree. In addition, University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health continues to partner with the College by offering employment opportunities and scholarship support to HCC students and graduates of the nursing program.

Harford Community College was awarded a five-year Nurse Support Program II Grant from the Health Services Cost Review Commission and the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

The grant, totaling just over $2 million, will allow the College to increase its admission capacity into the nursing program. With the Schwabers $1 million endowment, Harford Community College will be able to increase scholarship opportunities for the additional students enrolled in the program.

RIBBON CUTTING for

New program will provide workforce development classes in Edgewood

Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation

in southeastern Harford County by providing advanced technological proficiencies in the skilled construction trades, manufacturing, warehousing/distribution, and logistics.

It is located at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford & Cecil Counties, 2002 Cedar Drive in Edgewood.

More than 100 guests attended Harford Community College’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation on November 12. The program featured remarks from Dr. Theresa B. Felder, president of Harford Community College, as well as various elected and state officials followed by demonstrations of simulators, tours of the new classrooms and information about entrepreneurial counseling and training.

“Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation is a game changer. Providing free classes in stackable workforce credentials in highdemand fields helps our students and the community to grow and prosper,” said Felder, “We are so grateful to the Ratcliffe Foundation for their support of this innovative new project.”

Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation will offer programs to address the high demand for workforce development and workers

A $1.5 million gift to the Harford Community College Foundation from the Phillip E. & Carole R. Ratcliffe Foundation established Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation.

Classes are free of charge, with no cost to the student. The program also provides completion stipends and tool allowances for students studying at the Edgewood location.

The Ratcliffe Foundation was created in 2003 by Phillip E. and Carol R. Ratcliffe to provide access to education and training for aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners to grow their ventures, create jobs and expand economic opportunities in local communities.

“The Ratcliffe Foundation is very pleased to be part of this new Harford Community College program,” said Carlene Cassidy, executive director of the Philip E. & Carole R. Ratcliffe Foundation. “We support access to education and training, and Harford’s

Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation does just that in southeastern Harford County.”

Harford’s Leading “ [Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation] will help to eliminate obstacles for students, like transportation issues, remove the financial burden and improve completion success.

It’s a win-win-win for students, the College and local businesses.

”

— Carlene Cassidy

Among the programs that will be offered at Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation will be stackable workforce credentials in heavy equipment operations, welding, machining, forklift certifications, logistics, additive and subtractive manufacturing, warehousing, supply chain and logistics, in addition to “soft skills” training. In the future it will also offer HVAC and electrical pre-apprenticeship programs as well as entrepreneurship programs for skilled trades and apprenticeship students and

community members seeking financial sustainability through business ownership.

The center features dedicated classroom space in addition to simulation labs f o r we l d i n g a n d h e av y e q u i p m e n t , additive manufacturing (also known as 3-D printing) and a fabrication lab.

The Leading Edge Training Center will promote civic engagement through maker space, entrepreneurship and business acceleration programming.

Additional funding for the program came from the Rural Maryland Council, which assisted in renovating the space at the Boys & Girls Clubs and provided new tools, and from Harford County Government, which funded a simulator to assist Harford Community College students as well as potential county employees in studying for a commercial driver’s license.

H a r f o r d C o u n t y ’s s t a t e d e l e g a t i o n secured state funding to help support the warehousing, supply chain and logistics programming. Those funds will be used for the purchase of a forklift simulator and will assist in the preconstruction of the pole barn that will support the program.

Harford’s Leading Edge Training Center Powered by the Ratcliffe Foundation is part of Harford Community College’s Edgewood initiative, started two years ago, with a goal of providing greater access to training and education that lead to wellpaying, stable careers in

southeastern Harford County. Several barriers--transportation, child care and technology--were identified as reasons why many southeastern Harford County residents are unable to access programs and opportunities on Harford Community College’s main campus in Bel Air. A feasibility study, conducted by MGT Consulting and issued in 2019, concluded that skilled trades, manufacturing, and warehousing/ distribution and logistics were key industry sectors for expanded career training offerings in southeastern Harford County. In addition, the College is working with several community organizations, including government, nonprofit, academic and private sector partners, to relieve unemployment and underemployment while creating opportunities for innovation, entrepreneurship and career exploration.

Words

Encouragement S H R E E YA M M I S H R A

There is a quote by Neil Gaiman: “Sometimes we can choose the paths we follow.

Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all.” And it is a cliché to say that I’ve always known what I want to do with my life, but in my case, it happens to be true.

Despite my age, I have always been a leader in whatever group I belong to, from grade school president to junior high president to high school head girl; whether formal or informal. My mother said I was a leader in preschool when I would round up the neighborhood kids and make them play school - with me as the teacher. Continuing my degree in nursing, I knew I would require this skill. And after travelling seven oceans away from your country to a place you know nothing about, it becomes a necessity to develop skills to match up with others.

M y n a m e i s S h re eya m Mishra. I am double majoring in nursing and computer s c i e n c e . To d a y, I a m dually enrolled at Towson University and Har ford Community College, completing my nursing degree and making a path for my future dream of being a Nurse Informaticist. In less than five years, I see myself as a Nurse Informaticist at a prestigious hospital with both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees achieved.

Today, I am the executive vice president of PTK, officer of Psi Beta, SGA treasurer, and the Councilmember representing community colleges at MYAC and at the MHEC Student Advisory Council.

All this would not have been possible if I did not receive the scholarship from HCC. Everyone says a scholarship helps you complete college, but for me, it is helping me believe that I can also be a

successful woman and bring a difference to humanity. It is protecting me from my community for whom girls are not born for education.

During my second semester, working as an orientation leader I came across the program Emerging Leaders.

I knew at that very moment I could not lose this chance.

Joining Emerging Leaders, I knew I was taking the first step towards my future in nursing. It helped me gain my confidence and bridge the gaps of weakness that exist in my leadership style: integration, critical thinking, resolution, affirmation, and inclusion. All those skills I never knew I had in me.

After completing my first emerging leader step, I know I am partially ready to step into a career involving highpressure situations and quick decision-making. It will help me become a competent, confident leader.

H av i n g a g ra t e f u l a n d m o t i va t i n g a t t i t u d e , I encourage all students to develop an interest in leadership and accomplish their goals through best utilizing their strengths and giving to others.
