Northampton Community College
aNNual report 08/09
Dr. arthur Scott
president, northampton community college
the 2008-2009 year will be long remembered as the year of the “great recession,”
with a corresponding financial turmoil that affected nearly every family and organization throughout the country. our College was no exception; while enrollment
in our credit programs grew, the value of the Foundation’s endowment decreased
significantly, and we suffered serious enrollment losses in our Community education Division as companies cut back their training contracts. our non-credit enrollment “drop off” was more than
offset by an incredible surge of students taking credit courses. For our spring 2009 semester, we enrolled 10,649
students, by far the largest credit semester enrollment in our history. Current registration numbers for fall 2009
indicate we will exceed the spring numbers by several hundred students. this enrollment surge has added new
life to our campus. this annual report gives you a visual sense of the many wonderful activities and events that
effectively enhanced the learning that goes on inside the classroom.
this past year, our students, through the careful guidance of faculty and staff, raised the bar in terms of
their community engagement and support of many social causes. the presidential election presented us with a
wonderful “laboratory” in which to engage our students in the political process. and, the year provided some of
our proudest civic moments as our college community rose above their own personal difficulties and provided
support for others in greater need.
When the employment situation was looking bleakest, staff scheduled a series of Career transition expos,
which allowed hundreds of our neighbors to receive good career advice as they faced the trauma of being unemployed. those sessions led us to call a community meeting and, together with alan Jennings and the Community
action Committee of the lehigh Valley, form a recession task Force to better position the community to respond
to the economic crisis and to coordinate our responses to effectively utilize stimulus funds. Back on campus,
a holiday bazaar offered donated clothing, books and other holiday gifts free to our students. the new First
Impressions Boutique, founded this year, will now allow our students to get free business attire, also donated by
members of our community, for their first professional interviews.
throughout the year, we were driven by a commitment to reduce as many barriers as possible so students
could be successful. this commitment included redirecting college funds to reduce the impact of the decrease Ã

in endowed scholarships, to extending the free tuition program for the unemployed
for the summer and fall semesters, and creating a book rental program to reduce the
cost of books for students. and it took the form of increased attention to what it
takes for students to be successful academically as we completed the third full year
of our achieve the Dream initiative.
the results of these efforts and many others will help keep education accessible
for our students and enable them to enter our community as well-prepared adults,
ready to be productive workers or successful transfer students. the external validation of our work continues as evidenced by:
n NCC being the only community college in the country to receive an NEH
challenge grant.
n Our sponsoring school districts extending the Articles of Agreement
to 2056.
n The College receiving over $600,000 of federal funding from Congress.
n The continuous stream of supportive comments we receive from alumni
throughout the region.
the next academic year is sure to present additional challenges. public funding
has not been able to keep up with our significant enrollment growth, which leaves
tuition as our only revenue source for increased funding at a time when our students
can least afford it. Cuts to literacy grants will curtail the number of adults we can
help to secure their aBe/GeD credentials, and the economic malaise will most likely
continue to affect our non-credit enrollment at least in the near future. While the
market has appeared to stabilize somewhat, it will be years before the Foundation’s
endowment recaptures its losses. and our work in Monroe County is just beginning as
we must continue to work with the county’s leadership to get the new campus built.
But challenges are not new for us. While this period may test our creativity and
fortitude, I am confident we will prevail. Some pundits have predicted that certain
institutions will emerge from this economic crisis stronger than when they entered
it. I believe that Northampton, with the talent, dedication and hard work of our
faculty and staff and the ongoing assistance of our many supporters, will be one of
those institutions. u

Bruce a. palmer ’77
board chairman: northampton community college foundation
“The second gift begins with the first thank you.”
James E. Connell
thank you. Because of you and your generosity, in a year in which the faltering economy dominated our conversations and our nightly news, the Northampton Community College Foundation
raised more in its annual fund than in any year except the previous one. While 2007-2008 was a record annual fund year for the
Foundation, 2008-2009 recorded the second largest gift total in our history through the annual fund.
Your support has always helped to make Northampton Community College an excellent college. that was never more evident
than this past year. as was the case in most all institutions of higher education this past year, the value of the Foundation’s
endowment decreased by close to 30 percent. that decrease, coupled with a conservative spending approach adopted by our
Finance Committee to preserve the inter-generational value of our endowment, lead to a significant shortfall in the amount
of money we were able to allocate for student financial support. Because of the unrestricted support we received through the
annual fund, we were able to make up some of that difference by directing unrestricted gifts into scholarship support. as always,
we are grateful for your continued support and for your confidence in our ability to be good stewards of your investment.
Foreshadowed by this tumultuous economic year was the exciting news that the Foundation was the recipient of the largest
challenge grant awarded by the National endowment for the Humanities for ’08-’09. to qualify for $800,000 in matching funds,
we need to raise $1.6 million over the next four years to fund an endowment that would support exciting programs in the humanities for the College and six community partners.
We are hopeful that the community will get behind this exciting project and that, as you have done in the past, you will rally
to our cause.
Finally, the year in review would not be complete without me thanking my predecessor John eureyecko for all he did throughout his tenure as chairman to strengthen the Foundation. John stepped down in December after four years at the helm of this
organization. thankfully, he remains on the board to help guide us as we look to build on his success and expand the base of
individuals and corporations that support this fine institution. as an alumnus, I am grateful to John for the dedication, wisdom
and tireless energy he devoted to Northampton to make it an even stronger institution. He will be a hard act to follow. u

What’s Inside Counts
by james l. johnson ’89
Cathie and Dr. robert rienzo have traveled to all seven continents; including antarctica. they understand how travel broadens
the mind. But they also believe in the value of hard work and education right here at home.
Cathie is an assistant professor and manager of NCC’s diagnostic medical sonography program. Dr. rienzo, in addition to
his position as radiologist at lehigh valley Hospital with a sub-specialty in nuclear medicine, is medical director of the radiography and sonography programs at Northampton.
In 2005, the rienzos established the Francis W. rafferty scholarship endowment to benefit sonography students. Cathie’s
deceased father is the endowment’s namesake. “He never had the opportunity for an education,” she says, “so we wanted to
honor him. and it is so important to have properly educated sonographers and radiologists treating patients.”
Her husband agrees. “I have always believed that to practice high-quality diagnostic radiology, you need to have a
well-educated technologist,” says Dr. rienzo. “this is most important in sonography, which is the most operator-dependent
imaging modality in all of radiology.” Cathie rienzo has been with the program since its inception in January 2002. then, it was a
specialized diploma for which an allied health associate’s degree was needed just to apply. But the demand for change echoed
like the highest frequency ultrasound. “We grew to an associate’s degree program after just three classes,” says rienzo, with a
still-proud smile. “Now it’s a 24-month program, with classes running right through the summer. students receive 1,300 hours
of clinical education.”
NCC’s sonography program is very competitive, accepting just 11 students a year. rienzo is just as proud of the graduates as
she is about the program’s success. “these are people with a passion for what they want to do,” she says. “our board pass rates
are very good, and every hospital we’re affiliated with employs our graduates.” When it comes to hands-on clinical training, area
hospitals blur the boundaries for NCC’s campuses and extend its education into the community. “We just couldn’t operate without
our clinical sites,” rienzo says. “We have sites ranging from pocono medical Center up north, down to grand view Hospital.”
the College administration “really came through for us,” she said. “In the past two years, our [on-campus sonography]
machines have been updated to two new state-of-the-art machines. according to the mayo Clinic’s College of medicine Web
site, employment is predicted to grow through 2016, and sonographic technology is expected to evolve rapidly, with cuttingedge designs like three-, and even four-dimensional imaging diagnostics.”
Dr. rienzo sums it up: “the scholarship was established as a way to give back to the profession,” he says, “We chose to
assist a well-qualified student to complete this important program as one way of doing that.” the couple believe their scholarship is a win-win for the students and for the field of sonography. u

easing the way for
future teachers
by paul acampora
When Herm and Kelley Kissiah first arrived in the lehigh valley, Northampton Community College was just opening its doors.
It was 1967, and Herm, who retired from lafayette College in 1999 after more than 30 years as dean of students, had
developed a course called Higher education in america. “I became very interested in the emerging role of community colleges
during the ’60s and ’70s,” says Herm who now serves as a member of the Northampton Community College board of trustees.
Northampton Community College faculty and staff who were creating the new college on green pond road became frequent
guests in Herm’s lafayette classroom.
During his long tenure as dean of students, Herm led changes in lafayette’s campus life as the institution’s reputation grew
into what today is recognized as one of the top small colleges in the nation.
While her husband was making a difference in the lives of college students, Kelley built a career as a teacher, guidance
counselor and then a principal for elementary and middle school students. Following her own retirement, Kelley accepted an
offer to lead the Northampton Community College teacher education program.
“I was the only professor in the NCC education department then,” she recalls. “I was committed to bringing the best practices in teacher education to the College classroom, and I was very impressed when I arrived at Northampton to find faculty who
were totally committed to teaching and to the question of how best to help students learn.”
“What impressed me even more,” Kelley continues, “were my students. I came to understand just how many were working
against great odds to stay in college to achieve their goals. When I discovered that there was no scholarship specifically to help
NCC education majors, my husband and I decided that we should establish one.”
as a result, the Kissiah’s created the Kelley Kissiah teacher education scholarship endowment Fund, which has been providing scholarships for future teachers at NCC since 2001.
“students who receive our scholarship are always grateful and excited to meet us,” says Herm. “they think we’ve done a
great thing for them, but we think they are the ones accomplishing great things for themselves. We’re just pleased to be a part
of their lives in this way.”
over the years, Kelley and Herm have stayed in touch with and mentored students who have been recipients of their NCC
scholarship as well as students from the Children’s Home of easton who attend NCC. “It’s a way for us to continue teaching in a
way, which is fun. It’s also a way for us to give back both to our community and our profession,” says Kelley.
today, Herm and Kelley enjoy all the opportunities that retirement brings. they are “addicted travelers” and try to discover
and explore at least one new place in the world each year. they also enjoy biking, ballroom dancing and the opportunity to find
new adventures at home in the lehigh valley.
“We believe in life-long learning,” says Kelley. “It’s the Northampton way!” u

Couple’s endowment honors family’s south side easton roots
by katherine burton
as vice president and chief financial officer for Flsmidth, tim vansyckle has traveled the globe. He’s a top leader for a
company that employs more than 10,000 people worldwide and is known on every continent as the leading supplier of
equipment and services to the international cement and minerals industry. But for tim, his biggest successes are local.
growing up on the south side of easton, vansyckle was the first in his family to attend college, and thanks to his mom
and dad, he graduated from lycoming College with a degree in accounting. “my parents instilled an appreciation for hard
work and the value of higher education,” says vansyckle. “they said that hard work would pay off, and they were right.”
today, tim has boys of his own, four sons, all in their 20s, including one son who is a student at NCC. “they’ve mostly
left the coop,” he says, “but my wife and I are happy that they still keep in touch with mom and dad.”
vansyckle’s connection to Northampton Community College began even before his son decided to enroll for classes.
He was recruited to serve on the NCC Foundation board in 2006 by Foundation board member, steve Hovey, who is president
of Corporate environments. more importantly to vansyckle, Hovey was a lycoming College classmate, fraternity brother
and friend. “I couldn’t say no to steve,” vansyckle admits. “plus, I couldn’t turn down the chance to work with such a
talented group of people as the ones who serve on the board.”
vansyckle is a strong believer that community colleges give students a chance they may not have had otherwise. “some
of our most talented engineers at Flsmidth got their start at Northampton. It gave them a great base for success.”
to honor and thank his own parents for making his own success possible, he created the Burton & Catherine vansyckle
scholarship endowment to help students from the south side of easton who have been involved in the Boys & girls Club.
“the club gives kids a sense of competence and usefulness and belonging. those are some of the things that my parents
gave to me.”
according to vansyckle, one of the most fulfilling moments he’s had since joining the Northampton family has been
meeting students selected to serve as NCC’s presidential ambassadors. “these students have so much talent. From here
they could go anywhere.” u
