Meeting students where they are
Dear Friends of LBCC,
As I look back on 2024, I'm reminded that our work has never been more vital. With recent cuts to SNAP benefits and rising costs affecting our students daily, the LBCC Foundation stands as a critical safety net for those pursuing their educational dreams.
2024 tested us, and you responded with extraordinary generosity. Thanks to 911 donors—including more than 500 firsttime supporters—we awarded $488,000 in scholarships to students like David Harris, who are navigating life transitions while working toward new careers. Nearly 800 of you gave $1,000 or less, proving that every contribution matters. Together, your gifts are building brighter futures.
But scholarships are just one chapter of our story.
In 2024, we launched our inaugural Grilled Cheese Roadshow presented by Grocery Outlet of Albany, serving 804 students across all campuses with ingredients generously donated by Grocery Outlet Albany. Armed with 1,600 slices of bread and 2,016 slices of cheese, we tackled food insecurity while raising scholarship awareness—and it worked. We saw 30% more scholarship applications. That's community support in action, one grilled cheese at a time.
In addition to adding new partners like Grocery Outlet of Albany, we deepened partnerships with organizations like the Corvallis Knights, who share our commitment to enhancing the mid-valley community. These collaborations expand opportunities for our students—from scholarships to career connections—and remind us that we're stronger together.
This captures what we do best: showing up for students in practical, meaningful ways. Whether it's emergency funding for gas, a warm meal between classes, staff appreciation efforts, or new partnerships that reduce barriers to education, we're committed to meeting students where they are. You'll read about more of these initiatives throughout this impact report.
As we look to the years ahead, the need keeps growing. But so does our determination, fueled by your partnership. Thank you for believing in LBCC students and for investing in their potential.
With gratitude,
STEVEN BRONCHEAU Executive Director
David Harris: Emergency funding making the difference
David Harris knows he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who needs help paying for gas. He’s 46 with a family and a fiancee, and has a four-year degree with 17 years of experience in that field.
But life changes forced a pivot for Harris and prompted him to begin studying diagnostic imaging through Linn-Benton Community College. He’s now driving 120 miles round-trip each day from his home in Bay City, near Tillamook, to his clinic work in Astoria. And that’s where LBCC’s Foundation has been able to provide emergency help.
“[The Emergency Fund] - financial assistance, food assistance, all the different things the LBCC Foundation can help with - is so important,” Harris said. “I’m a testament to that and I’m not necessarily a person you would think would need that.”
Harris grew up in Southern California and got a degree in environmental science from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He loved the job, but when his extended family relocated to Oregon a little more than a decade ago, he decided to come, too.
Harris was hired at a nonprofit in Tillamook, but left in 2015 after a series of personnel challenges. That left him looking for a new direction.
Personal events also hit him hard during that time. Cancer and complications from diabetes took both of Harris’ parents in the next few years, and then in 2019, Harris himself was diagnosed with cancer. He underwent chemotherapy and radiation and has been in remission since that year, but it was another factor in revising his life goals.
Harris’ fiancee, an emergency room nurse he’d met while working as a volunteer firefighter, suggested he explore radiology. He loved the idea of working in a scientific field again, and of being able to help people who were going through their own medical crisis. “That really checked a lot of boxes for me,”
Harris said. “Technology, helping people - that’s kind of where it all came together.”
Harris took some prerequisites at Portland Community College to qualify for Linn-Benton’s distance program. “The beauty was, I could do that,” he said. “I could stay home with my family and not have to relocate.”
Financing his education was the challenge, however. Harris took out loans to help with the PCC prerequisites and the LBCC program, but “that pretty much burned through every kind of savings I had,” he said.
Scholarships and the community college’s SNAP Training and Employment Program, which provides career assistance, have been critical, Harris said. His STEP coach was the first to mention the emergency fund to help offset his fuel costs. “I didn’t know it existed,” Harris said. “It’s an amazing resource.”
Now in his second year of the program, Harris will be doing clinical work until spring. After that, he’ll train as an X-ray technologist, then evaluate his choices.
“The motivating factor is to help a rural community out,” he said. “The field is short of people as it is, but even more so for a rural area.”
He also wants to "pay it forward," he said, after his own health crisis. “The greatest lesson I learned was how it is to feel so vulnerable and hurt and sick. It really opens your eyes to what people are going through. You really don’t know what people are struggling with.”
Harris said he wants people who donate to the LBCC Foundation to know how much they have mattered to his life. Losing his parents and his job and going through a personal health scare changed everything. Even $1,000 makes a huge difference. “ It makes me even more grateful for the support, he said. You never know who’s going to need this."
I didn't know it [the emergency fund] existed. It's an amazing resource.

The Corvallis Knights and LBCC are aligned because we’re both working to enhance our community.
Heather O'Malley GENERAL MANAGER, CORVALLIS KNIGHTS
Corvallis Knights: Making the community a better place
The way Heather O’Malley and Dan Segel see it, the partnership between Corvallis Knights and Linn-Benton Community College was practically meant to be.
Both organizations have been part of the mid-valley for decades. Both are focused on helping young adults grow and learn the skills they need to go out into the world. And even though one focuses on books and the other on baseball, in a way, both have the same mission.
“The Corvallis Knights and Linn-Benton Community College are aligned because we’re both working to enhance our community,” said O’Malley, the Knights’ general manager. “And when we have organizations that are both looking to make their community as a whole a better place, those two organizations should work together to enhance each other."
The Corvallis-based baseball team supports LBCC and the LBCC Foundation in several ways.
Each season, for instance, the team holds LB Night at the Knights, offering free admission to all students at the community college. During the game, thanks to the Foundation and to sponsors - the Knights among them - spectators can enter the drawing for a $1,000 LB scholarship. One name is drawn each inning for nine scholarships in all. Four of those came from the Knights.
The team was a sponsor for the college’s CTE Signing Day this past April. The signing ceremony, begun in 2017, celebrates recent high school graduates who are committing to enroll in one of LBCC’s career technical programs. This year, 125 students signed letters of intent for 14 programs.
The event is important in itself, O’Malley said, but also benefits the Knights. Connecting with the manufacturing companies that work with LBCC
technical programs, and which eventually hire their graduates, means a chance to share Knights games with a wider community.
“The Foundation itself, and LBCC, have always done a very good job in promoting the Corvallis Knights, and it’s something we want to reciprocate,” she said.
Segel, chief financial officer and founder of The Knights, has supported LBCC as far back as his own academic career. He played baseball there in 1985-86 under famed coach Greg Hawk and was inducted into the Northwest Athletic Conference Hall of Fame in 2005.
He helped lead the fundraising effort to bring back the baseball and women’s basketball teams in 2015 after a budget shortfall two years earlier led the college to cut both. In 2016, he was named LBCC’s Distinguished Alumnus of the Year. He also joined the Foundation Board that year and has served on it ever since, along with service on the LBCC athletics advisory board.
Segel credits the community college with getting him back on track academically after a stint at a four-year institution that wasn’t as productive as he wanted it to be. LBCC “was a springboard,” he said. “The classroom sizes were awesome. The teachers and coaches just really got me back on track.”
The Knights’ partnership with the classroom is a way to give back, Segel said, and to give other young adults the chance he got.
“I’m just indebted,” he said. “I thought it was a really special experience, and I’m grateful.”
Alum Wendie Wunderwald
We’ve seen the students coming through every year [...] energetic and excited. Being able to get to the clinical time they get to have is really outstanding.”
Wendie Wunderwald
Distinguished
Retired, but not retreating
Wendie Wunderwald retired last year from her position as CEO of Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital, but she wants people to know she hasn’t really left. The Linn-Benton Community College Distinguished Alum has been enjoying having more time to be home, do yard work, travel and spend time with family. But after 40 years of working with Samaritan Health Services, she has no intention of walking away completely.
“I am staying on the Lebanon hospital board,” she said. “I want to stay involved in health care in some aspect, and that was a great opportunity and honor to be able to stay here in Lebanon."
Health care has been a part of Wunderwald’s background all her life. Her mother was a nurse, and after graduating from South Albany High School, Wunderwald wanted to follow the same career path.
“I was looking at doing something along the lines of labs, and then I started working during high school in a nursing home,” she said. “I just found that connection, and even though it was hard work, it was rewarding. So I decided at that point to continue on and continue nursing.”
She looked at Southern Oregon University but decided it would be more cost effective to get some prerequisites out of the way first. Enrolling at LBCC just made sense - and she liked it so much she decided to stay. “I got familiar with the courses and the campus and made friends there that first year, so I used the second year just to continue to work and save money, and then also finish the rest of the prerequisites I had, get everything completed,” Wunderwald said.
Wunderwald graduated with an associate’s degree in nursing in 1984 and joined the Lebanon hospital the same year. She started as a staff nurse and spent the next four decades advancing through just about every leadership position possible. Both the work and the hospital itself changed
dramatically in that time. Wunderwald remembered seeing extremely busy inpatient areas in the 49-bed hospital and surgery when she began, sometimes with three patients to a room. The time they stayed was also different in the early ‘80s, with patients scheduled for surgery often coming in the night before just to get ready, “which is unheard of today,” she said.
Later, Lebanon became a critical access hospital, which didn’t change the quality of care but did mean less time there, Wunderwald said. Patients usually spent no more than four days on average, and only 25 inpatients were allowed at any given time.
When Wunderwald first arrived at the Lebanon hospital, it was mostly linoleum and rooms felt stark. Nurses would stand up when physicians entered and move to make sure the physicians had somewhere to sit and write orders. A nurse might follow a doctor on rounds, but interaction was limited.
In contrast, she said, the hospital feels more holistic in its approach now. The building’s architecture includes many more windows and outdoor spaces. Carpet covers the hallways to reduce noise. Physicians, nurses and other clinical staff work more as a team. “Doctors are still in charge,” she said, “but it’s definitely much more collaborative.”
In 1999, while working, Wunderwald enrolled in a distance learning program and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in health care administration from Saint Joseph College of Maine.
Wunderwald said her favorite job during her time with Lebanon was being the vice president of patient care services, a position she held for almost 20 years. It meant long days, but that’s where she felt most connected. “The typical day of thinking you could leave by five never happened, and a lot of times it was after eight. There’s always more to do,” she said. “But it allowed you to do just about everything in the hospital - overseeing clinical care, relating to physicians,
nurses, clinical staff, housekeeping, dietary - knowing everyone so well, it did feel like a second home.”
She said she never desired the CEO position, but did want to help with the transition when Marty Cahill, who had been the CEO, was named in 2023 to the newlycreated position of Chief Operating Officer - Hospitals
"He knew I was planning to retire in 2024, and so I felt like I could help the new people on, have a smooth handoff for everyone in the hospital. That intrigued me,” she said. “I knew more about what the hospital had gone through in the last 40 years, and I wanted to make sure the new leadership had a good start.”
Wunderwald still recommends LBCC to anyone considering the nursing program, and from what she can see, people are listening. “We’ve seen the students coming through every year. They look younger to me,” she said, laughing, “but they’re still energetic and excited. Being able to get to the clinical time they get to have is really outstanding.”
A piece of advice for wouldbe nurses: Get used to public speaking.
“In high school, when you had to take a speech class, everyone was mortified, and it was never anything that any student wanted to do; stand up in front of a room and give a speech,” she said. “But when you pick something that you're passionate about and you’re interested in, speaking in front of people becomes not as scary. If you do go into nursing, there are times of difficult conversations - the patient isn’t doing well, or you need to speak with the family.
"All those experiences come back and help.”
