Dear supporters, Foundation scholars, family and friends, On behalf of the Metropolitan Community College Foundation Board of Directors, I’m delighted to welcome you to our 15th annual Scholars Reception. Tonight is a celebration of the incredible community that makes MCC’s mission possible — our generous donors, proud alumni, and dedicated faculty and staff. Because of your belief in our students, they are graduating with confidence and stepping into bright futures. As a community college graduate myself, I know how transformative this moment can be. Our scholars have worked hard, and we’re proud to honor their achievements alongside the people who helped make them possible.
We’re also thrilled to honor Dr. Isuzu Meyer, our 2025 Distinguished Alumna Award recipient. Her leadership and service reflect the very best of what it means to be an MCC graduate. Thank you for being here and for believing in the power of education, opportunity, and community. Together, we’re shaping the future — one scholar at a time. With gratitude,
L E T T E R
Karen Pesek President, MCC Foundation
P R E S I D E N T ’ S
This year, thanks to your support, MCCF awarded more than $843,000 in scholarships to 1,252 students. These are more than financial gifts—they’re investments in a stronger, more resilient workforce and community.

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNA
Dr. Isuzu Meyer
Dr. Isuzu Meyer, born and raised in Japan, is a professor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and director of the Division of Urogynecology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), where she earned her medical degree in 2009. Her path to becoming a doctor started at MCC. She earned an associate in academic transfer degree in 2003 after beginning her academic journey at the College in 1999. At MCC she found opportunity, taking on new challenges — like completing a certificate in American Sign Language — and impacting the community and other students through the Office of International/Intercultural Education, where she worked with Barbara Velazquez, longtime coordinator of International/Intercultural Education who retired from the College last year. “It was my honor to work with and learn from Dr. Meyer many years ago. What a pleasure it is to see that she tirelessly enhances medicine 4
and communities through diverse professional contributions, comprehensive impact as a leader, researcher, educator, and physician who possesses award-winning attention to patients,” Velazquez said. Meyer championed inclusivity through her student work at MCC, supporting numerous college initiatives, including the Fort Omaha Intertribal Powwow, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration, the International Fair and Student Ambassador program, among many others. For her academic achievements at MCC, she was recognized by the Phi Theta Kappa National Greek Honor Society in 2002. She transferred to the University of Nebraska Omaha, earning a bachelor’s in biotechnology with a minor in biochemistry.
In 2021, despite her busy schedule as an associate professor at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, she shared her journey alongside other international alumni at the MCC Virtual International Fair.
D I S T I N G U I S H E D
An unofficial ambassador to the College, Meyer has consistently recognized MCC for providing the foundational skills that have shaped her personal and professional journey.

Congratulations, 2024-25 MCCF scholarship recipients! We applaud these scholars for their pursuit of postsecondary education and salute them for their outstanding efforts in their academic career.

ALISHA BIBI
Program: Liberal Arts Transfer in Science Peter Kiewit Foundation Scholarship
The scholarship from the Peter Kiewit Foundation has been incredibly helpful in achieving my educational goals. As a student attending two different colleges, it has really eased the financial pressure, allowing me to focus more on my studies. I no longer have to worry as much about tuition and other school costs, which has made a huge difference. This support has helped me feel more secure and confident while balancing my classes at both schools. It has given me the freedom to put more energy into learning and doing my best in my courses. The scholarship has not only lifted a financial burden but also inspired me to keep moving forward in my education and future career goals. I am truly grateful for this help, as it has made my academic journey much smoother and less stressful. 9
