The pages that follow in this annual
report will illustrate that our campus is
alive and filled with excitement. Whether
it is a presentation by our Oscar-winning
alumnus — Roger Ross Williams, or a talk
about the demise of the daily newspaper, or
a talent show produced by one of our many
student clubs, each and every day, our
campus is bustling with cultural programs,
athletic events and community service
projects. Years ago, we were concerned that
there wasn’t enough to do on campus for our
commuter population, but now our worries
are about making sure we don’t have too
many activities that compete with each other.
The benefits of a robust campus life include all
the learning that occurs when students are working together for a common cause or interacting
with faculty and staff about a particular speaker
or issue. You can see the transformation
that takes place as students begin their
president, northampton community college
classes at Northampton as somewhat intimidated freshmen and leave confident in
their abilities. Of special note this year was the incredible influence our international students
had at our College. Not only did our international students fill leadership positions throughout the College, but they also developed countless relationships with U.S. students that will
last a lifetime.
As evidenced by the pages that follow, despite these very difficult economic times, our
College is fiscally healthy, expanding every year, and constantly looking for ways to better serve
our communities. Our graduates are well prepared for the work-force or to transfer, and they
leave as civic-minded adults ready to contribute to the areas in which they live and work.
I urge all of our supporters who receive this annual report to come to any of our campuses
and experience what we enjoy every day — a community filled with excitement and learning. ◆

MIDDLE STATES ACCREDITATION REVIEW
Northampton Community College began work on the Periodic Review Report to the Middle
States Commission on Higher Education. The Periodic Review is due five years into the College’s
Middle States accreditation, which was granted in 2006.
The College will provide the Commission a monitoring report by June 2011, documenting
continued development and implementation of a comprehensive institutional strategic plan.
The review report is a college-wide effort coordinated by Academic Affairs and Institutional
Research offices.
Accreditation attests that an institution has met the following criteria:
❚ That it has a mission appropriate to higher education;
❚ That it is guided by well-defined and appropriate goals,
including goals for student learning;
❚ That is has established conditions and procedures under
which its mission and goals can be realized;
❚ That it assesses both institutional effectiveness and student
learning outcomes, and uses the results for improvement;
❚ That it is accomplishing its mission and goals substantially;
❚ That it is organized, staffed and supported so that it can be
expected to continue to accomplish its mission and goals; and
❚ That it meets the eligibility requirements and standards of
the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.

An NCC faculty member, Dr. Kiki Anastasakos (above), brought honors to the College
when she was named Pennsylvania Professor of the Year by The Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching.
A new textbook lending program was launched, enabling students to save up to 60 percent on the cost
of their books for some of the most popular courses. NCC was the first college in the Lehigh Valley to
offer such a program. Nearly 3,000 books were rented during the program’s first year.
New program offerings included middle-level education, web development, resort management,
casino operations and dining room operations; and a new concentration in women’s and gender
studies was added as an option for liberal arts majors.
The men’s and women’s basketball teams made their debut in the National Junior College
Athletic Association, enabling the student athletes to compete on a national level.
The College celebrated its first alumnus to win an Academy Award, when Roger Ross Williams

STUDENT SUCCESS
Northampton’s focus on student achievement earned recognition for the College as a leader
in the national student completion movement by the Lumina Foundation for Education. The
research the College has done, particularly in math education, has helped to reduce the
number of students who drop out after their first semester and to increase the percentage
of students who are able to complete an introductory math course successfully.
Officials at the Lumina Foundation’s Achieving the Dream
commended NCC for implementing initiatives to enhance the experience
of first-year students, close achievement gaps, and strengthen
advising for students in need of additional support.
BOOST LEARNING
SLIC and SLOC
Outside their classrooms, NCC faculty came together in working groups to examine and discuss
nuts and bolts data about how their students learn and what teaching methods are most effective.
These initiatives took on the offbeat-sounding acronym names SLIC (Student Learning Improvement Conversations) and SLOC (Student Learning Outcomes Conversations).
The initiatives’ focus is on changes instructors can make to improve learning, particularly
in required courses that can be “gateways” for student progress. Led by Carolyn Bortz, dean of
allied health, and English instructor Randy Boone, groups of faculty were formed to determine how
changes in classroom techniques could improve student learning outcomes in different courses.
As information continues to be compiled and analyzed, the results are shared back through the
faculty participants for a continuous improvement feedback loop.
Among the questions examined:
❚ What student learning related issues do you experience in
your course or program?
❚ Are there academic speed bumps that students typically
hit that stand in the way of their success or progress?
❚ Are there strategies or best practices that you have used
and seen improvement in student learning?
❚ Are there strategies in the literature that you have
implemented with positive results?

Monroe Enrollment Surges; Grants Announced
Senator Robert Mellow (left) and U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski announce major funding commitments for proposed Monroe Campus
Trailers provided extra classroom space on Monroe Campus where full-time
enrollment grew by 26 percent last year. As spring session classes were
getting started in January, major funding commitments for Monroe Campus
were announced. U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski and Pa. Sen. Robert Mellow came
to the College to announce the spending commitments.
Headlines were made when the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a bill
designating $2.4 million per year for 20 years to fund a new Monroe Campus.
The College also received federal funding totaling $700,000 for
scholarships, improved security, and for equipping a biotechnology
laboratory on the new campus. The funds benefit students currently
enrolled at the existing campus as well as future students at the planned
new Monroe Campus.

THE CAMPUS EXPERIENCE
NCC students experience campuses alive with activities: Benefits of a robust campus life
include all the learning that occurs when students work together for common causes, learning from
each other as well as from faculty and staff. Visible transformations occur as these
students participate in the daily life of the College.

MAKING THE MOST
OF HIS SCHOLARSHIP
Great education. Great professors. Great value. That’s what
Dohl DiFebo was looking for when he started searching for
colleges. “I considered other schools,” says the 2009 Bangor
High School graduate, “but nobody else could give me the
kind of opportunity NCC was offering.”
DiFebo, who is majoring in Computer Aided Design, was
selected to receive one of Northampton Community College’s
SMaRT Scholarships. “I found out about the SMaRT Scholar
program on Northampton’s Web site,” says DiFebo. “I never
really thought I’d get it, but I applied anyway. I’m glad I did.”
Underwritten by a grant to NCC from the National
Science Foundation, the SMaRT Scholar program provides
full scholarships along with academic and career guidance
for outstanding students interested in science, technology,
engineering and math.
“The scholarship has made a huge difference,” says
DiFebo. “I’ll finish my degree in two years. From there, I may
pursue an engineering degree, but I’d like to get a job first
and see what kind of skills my employer really needs.”
Besides his computer and engineering pursuits, there are
some decidedly non-technical features to DiFebo’s days. His
family raises a large herd of grass-fed beef cattle
on a 500-acre farm in Upper Mt. Bethel Township,
Dohl DiFebo says nobody else could give him what NCC offers.
Pennsylvania. In addition, DiFebo plants sweet corn,
tomatoes and vegetables to sell at the produce
stand he opened when he was 14. Finally, he helps
out with R & R Lawn Service, a business that’s been in his family for 30 years. “My father opened the lawn
service with $50 right after he graduated from high school. My dad didn’t have the opportunity to go to
college, but he and my mom have made sure that my brother, Dane, and I wouldn’t miss it.”
DiFebo has been offering agricultural advice to campus volunteers interested in starting a local community garden, and, in addition to taking several courses over the summer, he found time to participate in
a corporate internship opportunity during July and August.
“Professor Ed Csongradi e-mailed me after the end of spring semester to see if I’d like to join him to
learn about a local engineering company that designs and manufactures equipment for the pharmaceutical industry. I knew it would be a great experience, and I said yes right away.” ◆

While it’s still a little early to tell, indications
are that individual giving to higher education
was down for the 2009-2010 year. Giving to the
Northampton Community College Foundation
followed that trend, with gifts to the annual fund
down 5 percent. Our endowment, however, gained
back a good portion of its value this year as you
will see when you review our financial statements.
Given the economic downturn from which we only
now are beginning to recover, we consider ourselves
lucky to have weathered this storm with only a modest
decrease in support.
And, in a year in which many organizations cut back
on special event fundraising, the NCC Foundation, in
partnership with Sands Casino Resort/Bethlehem, staged
its most successful fundraising event ever, the inaugural
Lehigh Valley Food and Wine Festival, featuring Chef Emeril
Lagasse that attracted a crowd of nearly 1,000 and raised over $100,000. We
are grateful to the Sands for this partnership, to Foundation Board members
Mike Molewski and Bob DeSalvio, who co-chaired the event, and to the many
local restaurants that participated. Plans are already underway to make next
year’s event as successful.
The major focus of the Foundation’s development team this year
remained on meeting the financial benchmarks set by the College’s National
Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant. I’m proud to report that
we have successfully raised the funds necessary to meet the second of five
benchmarks set by the NEH. That benchmark required us to raise $414,600 in
cash and pledges before July 31, 2010. As of June, we had surpassed that goal
by more than $75,000. The most ambitious year of the challenges lies ahead of
us with $446,950 needed by July of 2011.
While those fundraising goals have been the focus of the advancement
team at the College, the academic side of the house has been busy planning
for the first year of programming. The theme for the first year, August 2011
through May 2012, was predetermined by a steering committee made up of
College personnel and representatives of our six community partners. The
first year’s programming will focus on the Civil War to coincide with the 150th
anniversary commemoration of the Civil War. Organizations and agencies,
including our community partners, are already planning events and activities
that will relate to the 150th anniversary.
Northampton’s NEH programming will be directed by Sol Levy, assistant
professor of history, and focus on “The Meaning of Freedom: Civil War 1865
to Today.” Events being discussed include a theatre production, film series,
linking to existing Martin Luther King Jr. events in January, student debates,
forums and enhancements to our existing course on the Civil War.
Finally, one of the year’s highlights will include the possibility of bringing
someone of the stature of Doris Kearns Goodwin, James McPherson or David
McCullough to campus in March of 2012 as the culminating event.
Support for the NEH Challenge Grant is representative of the broad-based
support Northampton enjoys in the Lehigh Valley and Monroe communities.
This broad base of support is one of the distinctive characteristics that sets
Northampton apart from others. Northampton remains one of the leading
community colleges in the country because of your generosity and your belief
in and support of us and our students, and for that we once again thank you. ◆

EDUCATED TO GIVE
Giving back comes naturally to Chuck and Gwen Peischl. That and a love of education.
Together, they’re nearly a family tradition. Gwen’s father was Herb Cobley, one of NCC’s
founders. The Peischls honored Cobley by gifting a plaque at NCC’s annual Tribute Garden
dedication ceremony.
Speaking at the April event, Chuck noted that his father-in-law had begun his career as a physics teacher; but by the time of the College’s founding, he had been hired by
the Nazareth Area School District as its superintendent. Cobley was
one of a handful of school administrators who realized the need for a
community college and set out to make Northampton a reality.
“He understood just what community colleges can do,” Peischl
says. “Not only what the degree means to the working world, but how
education enhances the quality of an individual’s life.” Gwen says her
father “was truly proud to be one of Northampton’s founders. I think
it was one of his greatest accomplishments.”
The Peischls’ own contributions are significant. Chuck Peischl is
a former NCC truste and has been a member of the College’s Foundation Board since 2000. The list of his other involvements could fill
the rest of this profile. But his stint as Nazareth’s mayor is among his
earliest. “It was Gwen who started it off,” Chuck says, “when she said:
Instead of bewailing things we’re not happy with, maybe we need to
get involved and change them.”
Peischl served two terms as mayor, and he is proud of the things
his administration accomplished. “Even though she wasn’t mayor,
Gwen was part of it, too,” he adds. “There were plenty of sacto be made. It was a real team effort.”
For Chuck and Gwen Peischl, NCC has always rificesGwen
has her own “giving back” list. In addition to her
been a family priority.
full-time guidance counselor job and her full-time role as a
mother of two, Gwen made a commitment to historical preservation at the Whitefield House in Nazareth, home to Moravian history, where she served on
the historical society board for nearly 10 years.
The Peischls love their hometown. But they also love to travel – not, however, as typical
tourists. They continue learning by immersing themselves in a given culture. And toward that
end, they often both attend NCC for conversational Italian, French, Spanish, and even Mandarin.
Add to their language courses those they take for self-improvement, like Gwen’s halfdozen computer classes. It is obvious the Peischls love NCC for its commitment to degreebound students and to life-long learners alike. And they do an excellent job of practicing
the education they preach. ◆

A MAGIC IN THE CARING
Caring, for most of us, defines itself in ever-widening circles. It begins at home with family
and travels outward, to friends; then perhaps to our surrounding neighborhood, and on, to include one’s country and, hopefully, our entire world. The late philanthropist Louise Moore Pine
seemed to possess an almost magical ability to collapse those dividing circles into one. She
easily drew people to her and sincerely treated them all with love and respect; as if everyone
became part of her extended family.
That ability was, no doubt, a reflection of the strength of her true
blood family ties. Pat McNamara, Pine’s niece, grew up observing her
aunt’s affections for those around her. Pine (or, at the time, Louise
Moore) made summers sweet, inviting everyone to Slate Post Farm, the
home she shared with Hugh Moore, her first husband. She showed her
niece and siblings the joys of farm life, of long summer days complete
with horses and a pond for lots of swimming; and too, there were weeks
chock-full of Bushkill Park’s rides, petting zoos, outings to New York
City and a host of other things to put wide-eyed delight into a child.
“It was a magical time,” says McNamara. “She was like that with all
of my siblings and cousins – everyone from all sides of the family were
welcomed and shown a grand time. She was the perfect aunt.”
It was as Louise Wilde that she first saw Slate Post Farm, 118 acres
of which the Lehigh Valley now knows as Louise Moore Park, in Easton.
She came to live at the farm in 1946, after she married Moore, the farm’s
owner. Moore was the founder of Easton’s Dixie Cup; its giant replica
of the famous paper cup atop the plant was a near-icon of
the Lehigh Valley for many years. He passed away in 1972.
It wasn’t until she married her third husband, international

lawyer Roswell Dean Pine, that Louise took the surname she

to Northampton County for the creation of Louise Moore Park (according to
Moore’s wishes). A clause in that contract allowed her lifetime residency in the historic
home, built in 1822.
“When I think about the park, I think of another thing that impressed me about my
aunt,” says McNamara. “And that was her humility. She was incredibly humble and always
deferred to her husband’s achievements, always minimizing her own contributions. It took
10 years to create the park, and she was at the head of the project all the way. But she never
gave herself the credit she deserved.”
Pine’s accomplishments are many. She met with leaders of our community and such

A MAGIC IN THE CARING
CONTINUED
world figures as Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister. And yet, she was truly comfortable in her own skin: “She could come home,” McNamara says, “take off her business suit, put
on an apron and be our Aunt Louise.” Perhaps Pine thought of her charity work the way Hugh
Moore did, simply that everyone has a debt to society. Pine liked to quote Moore about their
farm, that deeding it to the county was “a payment on account of that debt.”
Dr. Richard Richardson was NCC’s first president; he guided the College’s growth through
its first 10 years. “I first met Louise [and her second husband, Dr. Van Vleck] at a fishing
weekend at Pocono Lake Preserve,” says Richardson. “She was easily the most
stylish and elegant opening-day fly fisherman the Tobyhanna had ever seen.”
Richardson was impressed with the “charm, wit, enthusiasm and persistence
that so characterized her every endeavor.”
Richardson also noted the charming fisherwoman’s “growing interest in
Northampton Community College.” Thankfully, for the College, Pine’s interest
continued to grow. Her estate recently donated a million dollars to the College’s Foundation for various needs.
“It’s an enormous help for our students,” says NCC’s director of development and student scholarships, Paul Acampora. “The
endowment is going to generate thousands of dollars
every year just for scholarships. And since endowments
Thankfully, for the College, Pine’s interest continued
last forever, Pine is going to make it possible for hundreds and hundreds of local students to afto grow. Her estate recently donated a
ford a college education.”
Dr. Robert Kopecek, NCC’s second
million dollars to the College’s Foundation for various needs.
president, who retired in 2003 after a tenure of 26 years, also felt the magic of Louise
Moore Pine’s charm. “Mrs. Pine was a most gracious person,” he says. “She was a caring person, who had a remarkable memory. Without fail, when she met either my wife Sue or me, she
never failed to ask about our children, and to then recall other facts about them.” Kopecek
also talks about Pine’s obvious concern with the well-being of our community and its institutions, and notes that “without question, she would help them in any way she could.”
How do you define that magic in a person so giving and yet so sincerely humble? Is it, as
Dr. Richardson says, “charm, wit and enthusiasm?” Or, as a recent award bio of her noted,
that she understood how “sometimes, ’community’ means all of the nations of the world?”
Or perhaps it is as Pat McNamara says: “Both my Aunt Louise and Uncle Hugh had a sense of
things much greater than themselves. They were truly philanthropists in their hearts.” Which
is to say, it is simply the magic of a caring heart. ◆

OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU
A DONOR BILL OF RIGHTS
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common
good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary
to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the
respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and
prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit
organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare
that all donors have these rights:
I. To be informed of the
organization’s mission, of the
way the organization intends to
use the donated resources,
and of its capacity to use the
donations effectively for their
intended purposes.
II. To be informed of the
identity of those serving on the
organization’s governing board,
and to expect the board to
exercise prudent judgment in its
stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the
organization’s most recent
financial statements.
IV. To be assured their gifts
will be used for the purposes
for which they were given.
V. To receive appropriate
acknowledgement
and recognition.
VI. To be assured that
information about their
donation is handled with respect
and with confidentiality to the
extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all
relationships with individuals
representing organizations of
interest to the donor will be
professional in nature.
VIII. To be informed whether
those seeking donations are
volunteers, employees of the
organization or hired solicitors.
IX: To have the opportunity for
their names to be deleted from
mailing lists that an organization
may intend to share.
X. To feel free to ask questions
when making a donation and
to receive prompt, truthful and
forthright answers.

The Foundation has the
responsibility to be accountable
to our constituencies: to
our board of directors, who
serve without remuneration;
to Northampton Community
College and its leadership,
faculty, staff and students; to
donors; to our volunteers; and
to our own staff.
One of the ways in which we
do so is to make accessible
materials that we believe
should be available to those
who care about the mission and
success of the Northampton
Community College Foundation.
WE MAKE THE FOLLOWING
ITEMS AVAILABLE:
■ Financial audit conducted
by our external auditor.
■ An annual report of giving
and activities, including an
honor roll of donors.
■ Our policies on disbursement
of gift funds.
■ Investment policies and
expenditure guidelines.
■ Our action plan establishing
priorities.
